Chapter 7. Showing a Social Feed with Ember.js
In the previous chapter, we learned how to create a command-line tool that uploads photos to Flickr. In this chapter, we will communicate with one of the most popular social networks: Twitter. We will create an application that gets the latest tweets based on a user handle and shows them on the screen. Node.js will be responsible for the communication with the Twitter API, and Ember.js will take care of the user interface. The following is a short list of the topics that we will cover in this chapter:
- Introduction to the Ember.js framework
- Communicating with Twitter's API
- Wiring Node.js with Ember.js to obtain tweets
