Using query in async function

I want to add an option to use a query to search for certain strings in a tweets stream. I want to switch the 'coding' string in the code for a query I get from the URL. How can I do that?

let nowTweets = (cb) => {
    T.get('search/tweets', { q: 'coding', count: 10 }, function (err, data,response) {
        const tweets = data.statuses
        .map(tweet => tweet.text)
        console.log(tweets);
        cb(tweets)
    })
}

app.get('/tweets', (req, res) => {
    nowTweets(tweets => {
        res.send('Tweets: ' + '\n' + tweets)
    })
})
Solution

  • Use something like req.params or req.query to get your search string from the url of your route and pass it it as argument to your nowTweets()
