Twtkpr

An ExpressJS router for serving, sharing, and updating a twtxt.txt file.

[!WARNING]
STILL IN ALPHA: Although this is a fully-functional plugin which is actively deployed to at least one site (my own), it currently lacks documentation, examples, tests, installation flexibility, or polish (and still has a couple of bugs that need to be fixed). USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

Features

• Uses JWT (with refresh) for security.
• Allows for adding new twts and directly editing a twtxt.txt file from within a browser.
• Includes a ull-featured GET API for your twtxt.txt file backed by an in-memory cache.
• Supports optional drag-and-drop file upload handling with automatic linking.

Installing

Add package:

yarn add express-twtkpr

Generate hash:

yarn run get:hash

Create username and password:

yarn run set:user

Using

Use it in an express application:

import express, { Request, Response } from "express";

import twtkpr from "express-twtkpr";

// import other middleware

const app = express();

// add other middleware

app.use(
	"/",
	twtkpr(
		{
			// config options
		},
	),
);

// add error handler

export default app;

Starting with v0.9.0, extra features (like files uploading) were moved to the express-twtkpr-core-plugins package.

More to come!
