    require-from-twitter

Since Twitter doesn't have an edit button, it's a suitable host for JavaScript modules.
How to use

Source tweet: https://twitter.com/rauchg/status/712799807073419264
const leftPad = await requireFromTwitter('712799807073419264');
console.log(leftPad(1, 5));      // '00001'
console.log(leftPad(1234, 5));   // '01234'
console.log(leftPad(12345, 5));  // '12345'
Running this example

# populate `twitter-config.json` with your API tokens
$ npm install
$ npm test

  
## index.js
import { babel } from './package';
import { transform } from 'babel-core';
import { decodeHTML as decode } from 'entities';
import Twit from 'twit';

// edit twitter-config.json first
const twit = new Twit(require('./twitter-config'));

export default async function requireFromTwitter (id) {
  const tweet = await twit.get(`/statuses/show/:id`, { id });
  if (tweet.errors) throw new Error(`Cannot find module '${id}'`);
  const { text } = tweet.data;
  const exports = {};
  eval(transform(decode(text), babel).code);
  return exports.default;
}
