Roux is a simple, asynchronous Reddit API wrapper implemented in Rust.
## Usage
### Using OAuth
To create an OAuth client with the Reddit API, use the `Reddit` class.
```rust
use roux::Reddit;
let client = Reddit::new("USER_AGENT", "CLIENT_ID", "CLIENT_SECRET")
.username("USERNAME")
.password("PASSWORD")
.login()
.await;
let me = client.unwrap();
```
It is important that you pick a good user agent. The ideal format is
`platform:program:version (by /u/yourname)`, e.g. `macos:roux:v0.3.0 (by /u/beanpup_py)`.
This will authticate you as the user given in the username function.
### Usage
Using the OAuth client, you can:
#### Submit A Text Post
```rust
use roux::Reddit;
let client = Reddit::new("USER_AGENT", "CLIENT_ID", "CLIENT_SECRET")
.username("USERNAME")
.password("PASSWORD")
.login()
.await;
let me = client.unwrap();
me.submit_text("TEXT_TITLE", "TEXT_BODY", "SUBREDDIT");
```
#### Submit A Link Post
```rust
use roux::Reddit;
let client = Reddit::new("USER_AGENT", "CLIENT_ID", "CLIENT_SECRET")
.username("USERNAME")
.password("PASSWORD")
.login()
.await;
let me = client.unwrap();
me.submit_link("LINK_TITLE", "LINK", "SUBREDDIT");
```
### Read-Only Modules
There are also read-only modules that don't need authentication:
* [Subreddits](https://docs.rs/roux/1.1.4/roux/subreddit/index.html)
* [Users](https://docs.rs/roux/1.1.4/roux/user/index.html)
## Features
* (Default)`tokio_new` - use tokio 1.1.0 based reqwest
* `tokio_back_compat` - use tokio 0.2 based reqwest
