Toolchain to acquire data from TweetDeck and process it.

This is a full rewrite and replacement for deckcheck, written in a more modular approach to easier analyze the acquired data further.

Setup

Requirements

• Node.js (at least 7.6.0)

Prerequisites

• npm install to install dependencies
  This time it will really take a while, we need to install a version of Chromium for this to work!

Configuration

• discord contains a block with values related to reporting to a Discord webhook
  • enabled to enable to disable the reports to Discord
  • webhook_url, the URL of the webhook deckcheck will post to
  • username, username of the Bot user it will post as
  • avatar_url, avatar of the Bot user it will post as
• twitter contains a block with values related to posting a tweet over Twitter
  • enabled to enable or disable posts to Twitter
  • the rest of the values are keys you can get from a Twitter application!
• asset_path, directory for downloaded assets
• output_path, directory for the generated reports
• output_url, URL the generated reports will be available (publicly)
• data_path, directory path where the data gets written to/read from

Running

• npm start

Features

• Acquires valuable information from TweetDecks window.TD object
• Compares with already existing data
• Creates a HTML report for changed data
• Posts a message into a Discord channel if something changed (optional)
• Posts a tweet to Twitter if something changed (optional)
• Writes changes to disk

Writing your own module

It's super easy, for real. Just create a xx_task.js file in lib/modules/ where xx is a number that is not taken yet and write a function that resolves a Promise, like so:

// data is what we get from other Promises
module.exports = function (data) {
  return new Promise (function(resolve, reject) {
    // ... do something in here

    // always end with resolve(data), don't reject
    // because we don't handle rejects at all
    resolve(data);
  })
}
