Types

type Provider

type Provider struct {
	ClientKey   string
	Secret      string
	CallbackURL string
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Provider is the implementation of `goth.Provider` for accessing Twitter.

func New

func New(clientKey, secret, callbackURL string) *Provider

New creates a new Twitter provider, and sets up important connection details. You should always call `twitter.New` to get a new Provider. Never try to create one manually.

func (*Provider) BeginAuth

func (p *Provider) BeginAuth(state string) (goth.Session, error)

BeginAuth asks Twitter for an authentication end-point and a request token for a session. Twitter does not support the "state" variable.

func (*Provider) Debug

func (p *Provider) Debug(debug bool)

Debug sets the logging of the OAuth client to verbose.

func (*Provider) FetchUser

func (p *Provider) FetchUser(session goth.Session) (goth.User, error)

FetchUser will go to Twitter and access basic information about the user.

func (*Provider) Name

func (p *Provider) Name() string

Name is the name used to retrieve this provider later.

func (*Provider) UnmarshalSession

func (p *Provider) UnmarshalSession(data string) (goth.Session, error)

UnmarshalSession will unmarshal a JSON string into a session.

type Session

type Session struct {
	AuthURL      string
	AccessToken  *oauth.AccessToken
	RequestToken *oauth.RequestToken
}

Session stores data during the auth process with Twitter.

func (*Session) Authorize

func (s *Session) Authorize(provider goth.Provider, params goth.Params) (string, error)

Authorize the session with Twitter and return the access token to be stored for future use.

func (Session) GetAuthURL

func (s Session) GetAuthURL() (string, error)

GetAuthURL will return the URL set by calling the `BeginAuth` function on the Twitter provider.

func (Session) Marshal

func (s Session) Marshal() string

Marshal the session into a string

func (Session) String

func (s Session) String() string
