display #stayAtHome tweets

This repo contains the complete code for what was covered in the FTL Hackathon Intro to Big Data: COVID-19 and its Global Effects Twitter API Workshop

Steps

1. Clone this repo
2. Create a new app in your Twitter Developer Account
   1. If you do not have a Twitter Developer Account, please ping one of the mentors who will add you to our Twitter FTL Hackathons Team Developer Account. You'll just need to provide us with your twitter handle
3. Create a twitterConfig.js file at the same level as server.js with the following contents (from that app you created in #2):

module.exports = {
        consumer_key: 'your_consumer_key',
        consumer_secret: 'your_consumer_secret',
        access_token: 'your_access_token',
        access_token_secret: 'your_access_token_secret',
}

4. Install dependencies and run the server!

npm install
node server.js

5. Navigate to localhost:3000
   1. In the input box, type in a hashtag to view the latest tweets, e.g. #stayAtHome
   2. Click the Analyze button
   3. Your page should now display all of the popular and latest tweets for that hashtag
