Allow a user to monitor the associated twitter account and post any new tweets FROM/TO that account into a channel of the user’s choice.

As a user, I should be able to tweet some text from a message I see in Mattermost. The tweet should be sent via my own personal twitter account that i've associated with my account.

This feature should be toggleable by the administrator - if they don't want user authenticating their personal twitter accounts, etc.

(NOTE: I have broken this ticket down into multiple tickets in this repo)

Create a Twitter Plugin that renders previews of Twitter URL links posted into Mattermost (***)

Problem:

• Twitter no longer provides Opengraph data on it’s pages, so rendering a preview of a tweet when someone posts a twitter URL into a channel - is no longer possible.
• Twitter requires vendors to use their APi to get the tweet data, then render it in the Channel.

Create a twitter plugin that will:

• Authenticate with a Twitter account using Oauth. (Not just a twitter API key, the user should be able to login)
• Render a URL preview whenever a tweet URL is posted in any channel
• Provide a tooltip hover that shows a simple rendering of a tweet when the mouse is hovered over any tweet URL in Mattermost
• Allow a user to monitor the associated twitter account and post any new tweets FROM/TO that account into a channel of the user’s choice.
• Allow the user to specify which tweets will get posted to the channel from a checkbox of options.
  • Options: (Only post messages sent TO the account, Only Messages sent FROM the account, or Both sent/received messages)
    - Option to Include @mentions of the account (checkbox)
    - Include in the incoming message the name of the twitter account it is posting.
• Ideally render the post so that it works on both desktop and mobile clients

You can use an older plugin by @bwesterb for inspiration https://github.com/bwesterb/twittermost and we have the starter plugin template located here: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-plugin-starter-template. Create a new Repo from this starter template and we'll work on the project there.

Provide a tooltip hover that shows a simple rendering of a tweet when the mouse is hovered over any tweet URL in Mattermost

Let a user connect their account and then get tweets posted to them via Mattermost.

(This authentication will also be used to allow a user to "Send to twitter" from a message in Mattermost. )

• Allow an admin to authenticate a twitter account and store the credentials.
• Use those credentials to generate a URL link preview whenever a twitter URL is posted in Mattermost.
• The tweet preview should work on both mobile and desktop clients

The plugin wil require a "main" twitter account which will be used for rendering tweets, but also this main account could be tracked for posts/replies/retweets. For example a shared company account called "Mattermost" would be authenticated. Then any tweets sent by that account could been posted to a Mattermost channel so people can stay on top of any replies to the company account.

(We should consider the ability to add MULTIPLE twitter handles to track in future)

Allow the user to specify which tweets will get posted to the channel from a checkbox of options.

Options: (Only post messages sent TO the account, Only Messages sent FROM the account, or Both sent/received messages)

• Option to Include @mentions of the account (checkbox)
• Include in the incoming message the name of the twitter account it is posting.
