Random text fetch from Reddit
-
Hello everyone.
I’m trying to display random text from random subreddits on my mirror. I have found a code that uses jQuery to fetch 10 titles from a page and that can be used successfully inside a html page.
Link to the function -> https://gist.github.com/sente/947491The problem comes when I try to integrate that inside my module. So I try to fetch that data inside my function but using $ I don’t think it does the job. I have no idea how to call a jQuery function inside my script since the example uses a html page. I tried with the getScripts function but the result is the same.
My code right now looks like thisrandomQuote: function() { var script = document.createElement('script'); script.src = 'http://j.mp/jqymin'; script.type = 'text/javascript'; document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script); var a=[]; script.getJSON( "http://www.reddit.com/r/showerthoughts.json?jsonp=?", function foo(data) { script.each( data.data.children.slice(0, 10), function (i, post) { a.push(post.data.title); } ) } ) return a; },
Any help would be much appreciated since I’m a noob with JavaScript, I’m just starting out.
