amplifyjs-simple-twitter.js

// Define what a getTweets request looks like...
amplify.request.define( "getTweets", "ajax", {
   url: "http://twitter.com/status/" + 
      "user_timeline/{userName}.json" + 
       "?count={count}&callback=?",
   dataType: "json",
   type: "GET"
});

// You can redefine the request to mock out the response
amplify.request.define( "getTweets", function (settings) {
   settings.success([
      { text: "Test Tweet 1" },
      { text: "Test Tweet 2" },
      { text: "Test Tweet 3" },
      { text: "Test Tweet 4" },
      { text: "Test Tweet 5" }
  ]);
});

// Subscribe to "applciation.started" topic published later
amplify.subscribe( "application.started", function (data) {

   // Writes out message that was passed in the Publish
   console.log( data.message );

   // Request "getTweets" passing in necessary data which
   // is used in URL substitution 
   amplify.request( "getTweets",
      { userName: "AmplifyJS", count: "5" }, 
      function ( tweets ) {
         // Store tweets array to persistent storage
         amplify.store( "tweets", tweets );

         // Retreive tweets array from storage and write
         console.log( amplify.store("tweets") );
      });
});

// Kick off whole process by publishing message with data
amplify.publish( "application.started", {
   message: "Hello World!"
});
