CommandBox Compatible

Installation

This CF wrapper can be installed as standalone or as a ColdBox Module. Either approach requires a simple CommandBox command:

box install monkehtweet

Then follow either the standalone or module instructions below.

Standalone

This wrapper will be installed into a directory called monkehTweet and then can be instantiated via new monkehTweet.com.coldfumonkeh.monkehTweet() with the following constructor arguments:

     consumerKey      =	'',
     consumerSecret   =	'',
     oauthToken       =	'',
     oauthTokenSecret =	'',
     userAccountName  =	'',
     parseResults     = true

ColdBox Module

This package also is a ColdBox module as well. The module can be configured by creating a monkehTweet configuration structure in your application configuration file: config/Coldbox.cfc with the following settings:

monkehTweet = {
     consumerKey      =	'',
     consumerSecret   =	'',
     oauthToken       =	'',
     oauthTokenSecret	=	'',
     userAccountName  =	'',
     parseResults     =	true,
};

Then you can inject the CFC via Wirebox:

property name="monkehTweet" inject="monkehTweet@MonkehTweet";
