What is TwitterAuth?
TwitterAuth is a plugin for Rails that allows you to use Twitter as your authentication provider. This means that people can log in to your application using their Twitter username and password instead of creating new ones.
TwitterAuth works both with OAuth and HTTP Basic connections to the Twitter API giving you maximum choice and flexibility.
How do I install it?
TwitterAuth is a GemPlugin and is best used by adding the following to your config/environment.rb:
config.gem 'twitter-auth', :lib => 'twitter_auth'
You can also install it into your application as a traditional Rails plugin:
script/install git://github.com/mbleigh/twitter-auth.git
How do I use it?
To get up and running just run the generator:
script/generate twitter_auth
