tweet_ui

Flutter Tweet UI - Flutter package that is inspired by twitter-kit-android. Works on iOS and Android.

Getting Started

To use this package add it to the pubspec.yaml file:

tweet_ui: <latest_version>

import it:

import 'package:tweet_ui/tweet_ui.dart';

If you want to show tweets with videos: check the better_player installation site

Video/GIF Tweets don't work on iOS simulators (video_player ios instructions)

finally, create a TweetView from a JSON:

API V1.1

TweetView.fromTweetV1(
    TweetV1Response.fromRawJson(
        jsonFromTwitterAPI
        // {"created_at": "Mon Nov 12 13:00:38 +0000 2018", "id": 1061967001177018368, ...
    )
);

API V2

TweetView.fromTweetV2(
    TweetV2Response.fromRawJson(
        jsonFromTwitterAPI
        // {"data": ["created_at": "2020-09-18T18:36:15.000Z", "id": "1061967001177018368", ...
        // or
        // {"data": {"created_at": "2020-09-18T18:36:15.000Z", "id": "1061967001177018368", ...
    )
);

or a CompactTweetView,

API V1.1

CompactTweetView.fromTweetV1(
    TweetV1Response.fromRawJson(
        jsonFromTwitterAPI
        // {"created_at": "Mon Nov 12 13:00:38 +0000 2018", "id": 1061967001177018368, ...
    )
);

API V2

CompactTweetView.fromTweetV2(
    TweetV2Response.fromRawJson(
        jsonFromTwitterAPI
        // {"data": ["created_at": "2020-09-18T18:36:15.000Z", "id": "1061967001177018368", ...
        // or
        // {"data": {"created_at": "2020-09-18T18:36:15.000Z", "id": "1061967001177018368", ...
    )
);

or a EmbeddedTweetView.

API V1.1

EmbeddedTweetView.fromTweetV1(
    TweetV1Response.fromRawJson(
        jsonFromTwitterAPI
        // {"created_at": "Mon Nov 12 13:00:38 +0000 2018", "id": 1061967001177018368, ...
    )
  darkMode: true,
)

API V2

EmbeddedTweetView.fromTweetV2(
    TweetV2Response.fromRawJson(
      jsonFromTwitterAPI
      // {"data": ["created_at": "2020-09-18T18:36:15.000Z", "id": "1061967001177018368", ...
      // or
      // {"data": {"created_at": "2020-09-18T18:36:15.000Z", "id": "1061967001177018368", ...
    )
    darkMode: true,
)

There is also a special QuoteTweetView that is embedded in a TweetView or a CompactTweetView or a EmbeddedTweetView. This depends if a Tweet has a quoted_status value in the JSON.

What tweet view should I create?

TweetView and CompactTweetView are more customisable, but EmbeddedTweetView looks more modern. Check the screenshots below.

Twitter API V2 know problems

In current version of twitter API (V2 as of 14.02.2022) it is not possible to get video url in tweet response. See the following links for more info:

• Twitter community
• Twitter dev feedback

All other video fields (like size or duration) are available in the response. This means that videos will not work for now.
