Gridsome Remark Twitter

Embed Tweet and Moment cards in Gridsome markdown.

Install

npm install gridsome-plugin-remark-twitter

How to use

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      use: '@gridsome/source-filesystem',
      options: {
        path: 'blog/**/*.md',
        route: '/blog/:year/:month/:day/:slug',
        remark: {
          plugins: [
            [ 'gridsome-plugin-remark-twitter']
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

If you want to get debug output, turn on the debug option in the plugin options.

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      use: '@gridsome/source-filesystem',
      options: {
        path: 'blog/**/*.md',
        route: '/blog/:year/:month/:day/:slug',
        remark: {
          plugins: [
            [ 'gridsome-plugin-remark-twitter', {
                debug: true
            }]
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

These other options are also available, to control how the widget is rendered:

• hideThread Default true. Set to false to also show the tweet that a tweet is in reply to. (This is enabled by default because typically you'd just embed both tweets, and it gets really noisy when embedding entire twitter threads in a post.)
• hideMedia Default false. Set to true to hide media that is included in a tweet. For example, if a tweet has a photo or a video embedded, this means that the user has to click through to view it.
• align Set to 'left', 'right' or 'center' to make the embedded tweet float left, right, or be center-aligned. (The default is left-aligned, but not floated.)
• theme Set to 'dark' to use the dark theme.
• linkColor Set to a valid RGB value to specify link colors.
• widgetType Set to 'video' to return a Twitter Video embed for the given Tweet.

Usage

# Blog post title
 
This is an example of embedding a single tweet card. Add any markdown as you normally do, and then insert a valid Tweet link anywhere to automatically transform it into an embed card.
 
https://twitter.com/gridsome/status/1088777983987335170
 
You can embed several tweets

Or a moment

NOTE: Make sure to copy the Tweet link instead of the embed code.

I wish I could take credit for this plugin but all the credit in the world goes to weknowinc. Instead of reinventing the wheel I borrowed what they did for Gatsby. Thank you!
