You can now easily create twitter reader using Windows Azure Mobile Services features custom API, Git support and NPM (Node Package Manager) support
- Create new mobile service (You can use free 20 MB SQL database)
- Choose Database details
- Open the dashboard and click Set up source control
- From bottom choose yes
- You can see the status on bottom bar
- Go to Data tab while waiting
- Create new table and call it "tweets"
- Go to API tab
- Create new API and call it "tweets". Make sure that you put GET permission as everyone to make testing a lot easier.
- Go configure tab and click copy icon on GIT URL
- Open PowerShell and navigate to folder you want and type "Git clone [Your url]"
- Now you can open file explorer to that view by typing explorer .[your servicename]
- Open tweets.js from your service/api folder
- Edit with your favorite editor (I used Notepad++). Source code is at below for copy pasting.
- Navigate to service folder in your project and then write "npm install twit --save"
- Write "Git add ." (Warnings are fine)
- Write Git commit "Installed twit with NPM"
- Write Git push
