React Tweet - Embed Tweets in React Applications

React Tweet is a library that allows developers to seamlessly embed tweets into any React application without compromising performance. With just a single line of code, React Tweet provides an easy way to integrate tweets into your React components.

Features

  • Simple Integration: Embedding tweets is as easy as adding a single line of code to your React component.
  • Performance optimized: React Tweet is designed to ensure that embedded tweets do not impact the overall performance of your application.
  • Responsive Design: Tweets embedded with React Tweet automatically adapt to different screen sizes and devices.
  • Customization Options: Developers can customize the appearance of embedded tweets to match the style of their application.

Getting Started

To begin using React Tweet in your React application, simply install the library using npm or yarn:

npm install react-tweet

or

yarn add react-tweet

Then, import the Tweet component from react-tweet and use it in your React component:

import React from 'react';
import { Tweet } from 'react-tweet';

const MyComponent = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Welcome to my React application!</h1>
      <Tweet id="tweet-id" />
    </div>
  );
}

export default MyComponent;

Replace 'tweet-id' with the actual ID of the tweet you want to embed.

Customization

React Tweet provides several customization options to tailor the appearance of embedded tweets to your application's design. These options can be passed as props to the Tweet component:

  • theme: Specifies the color theme of the embedded tweet. Available themes are light and dark.
  • linkColor: Sets the color of hyperlinks within the tweet.
  • hideCard: Hides the card preview for links within the tweet.
  • hideConversation: Hides the tweet's conversation thread.

Example usage with customization options:

<Tweet id="tweet-id" theme="dark" linkColor="#FF0000" hideCard hideConversation />
