snoode

Someday, it will be a reddit API library.

For now, it handles only a few resources. Building in parallel with reddit-mobile.

Works both client-side and server-side.

Example

// Require snoode.
import { v1 } from 'snoode';
const api = new v1();

// Example call to get links for /r/homebrewing.
api.links.get({
  subredditName: 'homebrewing',
}).then(function(data) {
  console.log(data.body);
});

// Example call to get all comments for this particular listing.
api.comments.get({
  linkId: 't3_ib4bk'
}).then(function(data) {
  console.log(data.body);
});

// Example with auth.
// Pass in an oauth token and new origin to `withConfig`, which returns
// a new instance that inherits the config from the existing api instance
// merged with the new config.

const myOauthToken = 'abcdef1234567890';
const authedAPI = api.withConfig({
  token: myOauthToken,
  origin: 'https://oauth.reddit.com'
});

authedAPI.subscriptions.get().then(function(data) {
  console.log(data.body)
});

Development / Testing

If you chmod +x ./repl, you can start up a repl for testing (and for general use!) An api instance is created in the global scope (api), from which you can call any of the API methods. Use help in the repl to learn more.

Mancy

---

If you install (Mancy)[https://github.com/princejwesley/Mancy] you can have a nicer version of using the repl. To set it up, open mancy, and go to Preferences. Under Add node modules path add your local install of Snoode. Then under Startup script add mancyStart.js. You can edit mancyStart.js to include your token and you can then either use api or authed as you'd expect. Mancy supports lots of inspecting and autocomplete tools out of the box.

Example mancyStart.js:

var api = require('mancyLoader.js')
var authed = api.withConfig({
    token: "<YOUR_TOKEN_HERE>",
    origin: "https://oauth.reddit.com"})

Caveats

• Uses ES7. At reddit, we use babel to run and build ES6+.
