An extension to add asynchronous (lazy/late loading) social media buttons and widgets to your templates using {{ socialite('SocialNetwork') }} or {{ socialite({'SocialNetwork': 'variable'}) }}.

The extension is based on the Socialite JavaScript library by David Bushell and Tom Morton

In the extension's configuration you need to set your Twitter username in the 'twitter_handle' parameter.

For the Twitter feed setup you will need to follow these steps:

1. Sign in to twitter.com and visit the widgets section of your settings page
2. Click the 'Create new' button
3. Copy the data-widget-id number from the box below 'Preview' to your config.yml file
4. Add your Twitter handle and other settings to your configuration
