This project (other than the Express server) was generated with angular-cli version 1.0.0.
-
Install all dependencies with
npm install. -
Go to Twitter Apps page and create a dev account and basic app. You will need consumer and access_token keys and secrets.
-
Replace the placeholders in
server.jswith your actual keys and secrets. Note: This is not a good long-term solution. You may want to set these as environment variables. Make sure to never commit code containing your actual keys and secrets. -
Within the Twitter stream code, track by any hashtag or term you like (default is '#javascript').
Run npm run serve-build for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:3000/.
Use Postman or similar tool to send a GET request to http://localhost:3000/stream.
Note: This project was recently updated to Angular v2.3.1, Angular-CLI v1.0.0, and TypeScript v2.0.10. For a clean build run:

npm uninstall --save-dev angular-cli
npm install -g @angular/cli@latest
