README

fortune-tweetable

This fork of williamfligor's fortune also makes the content of the old fortune Unix command available to Node programs, with the following changes:

  • All of the fortunes under fortunes/off and a few other fortune files that had similar "Truly Tasteless Jokes"-type content. Don't worry – there's probably still plenty of cringeworthy crotchety uncle stuff left in there.

  • convert.js, which converts the fortunes to JSON has been modified to omit any fortune over 140 characters.

Installation

npm install fortune-tweetable

This will run the postinstall script from package.json. If you modify the contents of the fortunes directory run npm run-script postinstall to rebuild the JSON files that the module uses to get fortunes.

Usage

var fortuneSource = require('fortune-tweetable');
console.log(fortuneSource.fortune());

Tests

npm test
