Authetnicated Twitter calls using Devise

twitvise.rb

module Twitvise

  def search
    return unless twitter_client = client
    twitter_client.search 'groo'
  end

  private

  def client
    consumer = Devise.omniauth_configs[:twitter].strategy
    tokens = self.user_tokens.where(provider: 'twitter')
    return unless consumer and tokens.length > 0
    TwitterOAuth::Client.new ({
      consumer_key: consumer.consumer_key,
      consumer_secret: consumer.consumer_secret,
      token: token.token,
      secret: token.secret
    })
  end

end

Then you can say

def User
include Twitvise
...
end

User.find('joe').search 'weather today'
