Birder
======

[](#birder)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Begin by installing this package through Composer. Go to your project folder from the terminal and execute: `composer require thatzad/birder`

Once this operation completes, the next step is to add the service provider. Open `app/config/app.php`, and add a new item to the providers array.

```
'Thatzad\Birder\BirderServiceProvider'

```

And add the alias.

```
'Birder' => 'Thatzad\Birder\Facades\BirderFacade'

```

Finally you'll need to publish the config file. To do that, in the project folder execute:

```
php artisan vendor:publish

```

This will output the configuration in your config folder. You must to fill all twitter fields.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

If you're familiar in the Laravel world, you'll find that very easy to use. E.g., imagine you need to find all @dotZecker tweets that have more than 2 retweets and only 1 fav. Do this is as easy as:

```
$tweets = Birder::user('@dotZecker')
    ->where('retweets', '>', 2)
    ->where('favorites', '=', 1) // The same as: ->whereFavorites(1)
    ->get();

```

Now, you want to get all tweets by the #Zelda hashtag that have more than 5 retweets or more than 6 favs.

```
$tweets = Birder::hashtag('#Zelda')
    ->where('retweets', '>', 5)
    ->orWhere('favorites', '>', 6)
    ->get();

```

This will return you a [Illuminate\\Support\\Collection](http://laravel.com/api/5.0/Illuminate/Support/Collection.html), by this way you'll be able to use all these methods.

Are you British or lazy?
------------------------

[](#are-you-british-or-lazy)

Don't worry!, Birder uses internal synonyms (alias) for the favorites and retweets.

You can use:

`->where('favorites' ...)`, `->where('favourites' ...)`, `->where('favs' ...)`, `->whereFavourites(...)`, ...

`->where('retweets' ...)`, `->where('rts' ...)`, `->whereRts(...)`, ...
