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.
