Streaming example

This is an example of how to implement the Twitter streaming API.

namespace App\Shell;

use Cake\Console\Shell;

class StreamShell extends Shell
{
    public function initialize()
    {
        $this->modelFactory('Endpoint', ['Muffin\Webservice\Model\EndpointRegistry', 'get']);
        $this->loadModel('CvoTechnologies/Twitter.Statuses', 'Endpoint');
    }

    public function main()
    {
        $statuses = $this->Statuses
            ->find('filterStream', [
                'word' => 'twitter',
            ]);

        foreach ($statuses as $status) {
            echo $status->text . PHP_EOL;
        }
    }
}
