Swarm Node (previously Foursquare node) about node-red-web-nodes

[hbeeken]

@knolleary - for similar reasons as Zoltan in his comment in issue #6, I keep going backwards and forwards as to whether I'm writing an input node or query node for foursquare. The behaviour of the node is to poll foursquare to see if there have been any checkins recently by 'self'. If this is written as a query node the user can trigger the check using the inject node. If we were to provide a node that used the foursquare callback mechanism then this would fit as an input node since it would react to any new checkins that occurred. Thoughts anyone?

IMHO I'd prefer the input node that just works providing new data as it arrives. (At least to start with) - eg like the twitter node.

Thanks @dceejay I think the input node is considered the best one to provide first. However, since the functionality for both is very similar but the query node is easier to test to make sure the flow is working (by hooking it up to the inject node) I'm going to start by doing the query node and then simply transfer the functionality to an input node once the basics are there.

Ah OK. (The twitter api is different for query vs streams so not like that then :-)

Created pull request #15 with the work done so far - authentication done, just tweaks to the ui. Under the covers querying the foursquare api also done.

This work covered by pull request #22

Test have now been merged (pull request #37) and the functionality detailed in this issue has been implemented. Therefore closing.
