    • 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/947491

      The 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 this

      	randomQuote: 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.
