@tweetback/canonical

A package to resolve twitter URLs to new canonically hosted twitter backups.

Installation

The package is available on npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tweetback/canonical

npm install @tweetback/canonical

Usage

import {transform} from "@tweetback/canonical";

transform("https://twitter.com/zachleat");
// Returns "https://www.zachleat.com/twitter/"

transform("https://twitter.com/eleven_ty");
// Returns "https://twitter.11ty.dev/"

Works with status URLs:

transform("https://twitter.com/zachleat/status/123");
// Returns "https://www.zachleat.com/twitter/123"

Other features:

  • Passthrough any valid URLs as normal.
  • Preserves trailing slashes (trailing slashes are optional)
  • Normalizes duplicate slashes in the pathname

Add your own Twitter Archive:

You needn’t use tweetback to add your archive here. The only requirement here is that your archive has URL parity and has individually addressable URLs for each status.

Just create a PR with your addition to the mapping.js file and we’ll have a look!

Please start your commit message with mapping: , it helps speed up the npm package release process.

The best example

This status https://twitter.11ty.dev/1559312029340557315 links to @TerribleMia’s archive which links back to the @eleven_ty archive. Threading across archives 🏆 while allowing each instance to maintain their own data.
