Description
This MR introduces several changes to support "web app" clients:
AuthCodeURLis a thin wrapper aroundoauth2.Config.AuthCodeURLfor building URLs for requesting authorization from users.codeimmediately after receiving it by providingWithWebAppCodeoption to the constructor.OR
refresh_tokenby creating a client with aWithWebAppRefreshoption. This is handy in case you want to persist therefresh_tokenelsewhere and avoid requesting authorization from your uses repeatedly.Please note, that in order to complete the authorization with a web app, you will also need to host a service receiving code-redirects from Reddit (see docs on
redirect_uri), but at the moment it seems beyond the scope of this PR or this package, for that matter.See unit tests for examples of how to use these options.
The changes to the packages API are minimal and are fully backwards-compatible:
Scriptis the defaultAppTypefor a reddit client.Note: @vartanbeno I figured this repo is no longer being maintained and I changed the export path to
github.com/bevzzz/go-reddit/v2in thego.modbecause I wanted to use the updated version of the package in my other project. If you decide to merge this PR, please let me know and I will revert that change.
