module Nanoc3::DataSources

  # Nanoc3::DataSources::Twitter provides tweets from a single user as items
  # (Nanoc3::Item instances).
  #
  # The configuration must have a "username" attribute containing the username
  # of the account from which to fetch the tweets.
  #
  # The items returned by this data source will be mounted at {root}/{id},
  # where +id+ is the unique identifier of the tweet.
  #
  # The items returned by this data source will have the following attributes:
  #
  # +:created_at+:: The timestamp when this tweet was posted (a string).
  #
  # +source+:: The client used to tweet this message (HTML-encoded).
