Updated Twitter Javascript Search Stuff
Wednesday, May 13th, 2009Twitter Search from Javascript
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009I was working on building a js twitter search app for jazzfest, which I didn’t finish in time really, but I liked the interface I came up with.
Twitter = {
_callbacks:[]
};
Twitter.search = function(opts){
//opts.q
//opts.callback
var callback = function(data){
opts.callback(data);
Twitter._callbacks = Twitter._callbacks.without(callback)
}
var len = Twitter._callbacks.push(callback)
document.body.insert("
You call it by doing:
Twitter.search({q:'happy birthday',callback: function(data){
something_awesome(data.results)
}})
The next thing to do would be to add support for more of the search API's parameters.
Or to remove the dependency on Prototype introduced by using insert
on the body rather than something more verbose.
