npm install

npm install

Run project

users.js

By looking at the user.txt, not all users had followers. So in order to create a list of users I had to retrieve all the initial users and their followers. This created an array of users which I then removed all the duplicates to create a unique list of users. My assumption here was that each username was unique.

follower.js

This created a map of followers from the user.txt file. I thought it would be best to keep this list as as separate data set.

tweets.js

This created a map of the users tweets which we are able to search through

app.js

This is the main function file where I gathered all the data I needed and rendered the output to console as per assignment request.

Comments

From the data that was provided, I thought the best approach would be to get the data into a readable arrays. Once that was achieved I was able to create the functions to display the data as per example. From the error checking side of things, I would would make sure that the data goes in correctly from the front end. The current error handling is on the tweets themselves but this would create a promise block. So another approach would be not to show those tweets but again this should come from a data input side of things.
