First, create a file Config.xcconfig and place it in under the main Nicea app folder. This app relies on Reddit API keys, but the keys are in a config file which I do not check into this repository.
Once you create the file, you will need to create an app with the Reddit API (https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps/) and then use your client ID (REDDIT_CLIENT_ID in this project). For BEARER_AUTH_HEADER, you will need to use Basic HTTP authentication, using your client ID as the username and an empty string as the password. So your BEARER_AUTH_HEADER value will be something like Basic xxxxxxx. REDDIT_AUTH_URL_STATE can be any random string you would like. Set the values for REDDIT_CLIENT_ID, BEARER_AUTH_HEADER, and REDDIT_AUTH_URL_STATE in the xcconfig file you created above. Then build and run!
- I use my own networking library, WhiteFlowerFactory for HTTP routing
- I use CocoaMarkdown to support markdown. This is the only 3rd party library used in the app.
- I use all native AppKit components for rendering all views. Markdown is rendered on an NSTextView using NSAttributedString, not a webview.
- I use MVVM for the architecture
