Commands

Install

# will install to node_modules/@twpm/712799807073419264
twpm install 712799807073419264

# will install to node_modules/@twpm/712799807073419264
twpm install https://twitter.com/rauchg/status/712799807073419264

`twpm install` creates a `index.js` with transpiled source and a `package.json` with metadata (including the original source).

# Will install to node_modules/@twpm/left-pad
twpm install 712799807073419264 --save left-pad

# install everything under `twpm.dependencies` in `package.json`
twpm install

# shorthand
twpm i

Search

You can search through tweets that are hashtagged with #twpm and install them

# get some random ones
twpm search
# specific keyword search
twpm search left-pad

Tweets

Since twpm will be transpiling the code, twpm will strip out the first line if the tweet is multiline and contains the hashtag #twpm.

Tweet

@_henryzhu //#twpm:left-pad
export default (v, n, c = '0') => String(v).length >= n ? '' + v : (String(c).repeat(n) + v).slice(-n);

Extracted Code

// Input to be transpiled (just the function. otherwise an error will occur with decorators)
export default (v, n, c = '0') => String(v).length >= n ? '' + v : (String(c).repeat(n) + v).slice(-n);

Currently you will need to use a export default function() {} or export default () => {} in your tweet.
