-
public/ This directory contains public resources of the application. It is required by the express framework in this sample application.
-
package.json This file is required by the Node.js environment. It specifies this Node.js project name, dependencies, and other configurations of your Node.js application.
The Build a Twitter search engine with Insights for Twitter on Bluemix tutorial on IBM developerWorks guides you through the steps to deploy this sample app within Bluemix. In a short time, you'll be able to query the Twitter decahose and analyze the rich metadata in each Tweet.
