Real-time streaming of any emojis within comments posted to Reddit! A neat one-page app.
Every comment posted to Reddit is scanned for emojis using PRAW (The Python Reddit API Wrapper).
The 'scanner' is a Python child process of a Node.js app. Should an emoji be found, it's piped to the Node.js app.
From there, emojis are sent to every connected WebSocket client (a.k.a. you!) 👍
Test builds are ran for every commit to master at the moment.
Integration tests are used to ensure that the connection to Reddit is functional.
The setup steps are the same as the install stage but swap npm start for npm test.
See .travis.yml for more information.
Tested with Python 3.7 and Node v10 but earlier versions 'should' work - we don't use any bleeding edge features.
Set your Reddit API keys to enviroment values CLIENTID and CLIENTSECRET. Set your python alias to PY (e.g. 'python', 'python3').
pip install -r requirements1.txt (named differently to allow deploying to Glitch)
npm install
npm start
The page is then hosted on localhost, the port is PORT or 8080.
