Instantiate multiple accounts

[Max Rose-Collins]

How can I instantiate multiple accounts within a loop?

twitter_accounts.each do |twitter_account|
        username = twitter_account['username']
        token = twitter_account['oauth_token']
        secret = twitter_account['oauth_token_secret']


        username = Twitter::Client.new(
        :oauth_token => token,
        :oauth_token_secret => secret
        )
end

This is what I have tried... doesn't seem to work though.

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Looks like you are overwriting the client via the username variable during each loop iteration. Maybe try something like this?

twitter_clients = twitter_accounts.inject({}) do |clients, account|

  clients[account['username']] = Twitter::Client.new(

    :oauth_token        => account['oauth_token'], 

    :oauth_token_secret => account['oauth_token_secret']

  )

  clients

end

Then you'll have a hash of clients with the username as the key.

In the end I used this.

accounts = {}

twitter_accounts.each do |twitter_account|
    username = twitter_account['username']
    token = twitter_account['oauth_token']
    secret = twitter_account['oauth_token_secret']

    accounts[username] = Twitter::Client.new(

        :oauth_token => token,
        :oauth_token_secret => secret
    )
end

Is using inject a better way of going about it?

It looks a lot more concise!

Would I use it like this?

Thread.new{twitter_clients['username'].update("Tweet tweet")}
