Express_Angular2_Twitter_App

an Express-Angular 2 app using the Twitter API to display Corcoran data

Update

There have been some changes to Angular 2 since the creation of this app (esp in regards to the router). I've made another starter Angular 2 Express App with a more recent version of Angular 2 here: https://github.com/bolducp/angular2-express-app-starter

Deployed via Heroku here: https://young-meadow-25237.herokuapp.com/

Usage

1: clone the repo

2: npm install in outer directory & inner Client directory

3: get developer API keys from Twitter

4: fillout the .env.template and copy it as ".env". It should include the following keys:

TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET=your_key_here
TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_KEY=your_key_here
TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=your_key_here
