Comments from multiple subreddits

[jonerer]

Hello!

I'm using jraw version 1.0.0

I'm trying to get comments from multiple subreddits. When getting comments for one, I do this:

    var r = reddit.subreddit("first").comments().build();

But when trying to do the same thing for multiple subscriptions I face this:

    var r = reddit.subreddits("first", "second").comments().build(); // <--- unresolved reference "comments"

I found the reason in the source code in RedditClient.kt on line 301:

    fun subreddits(first: String, second: String, vararg others: String) =
        SubredditReference(this, arrayOf(first, second, *others).joinToString("+")).posts()

The fact that subreddit returns a SubredditReference but subreddits returns a posts iterator seems confusing. Is there a way for me to get comments for multiple subreddits?

As a temporary solution I borrowed the code from RedditClient, and did this: reddit.subreddit(arrayOf("btc", "bitcoin").joinToString("+")).comments().build(); which works fine, but seems like I'm working against the library.

You're right, that is pretty confusing. I'm going to take .posts() off of the body of subreddits so that it returns a SubredditReference instead of jumping right to the posts:

fun subreddits(first: String, second: String, vararg others: String) =
    SubredditReference(this, arrayOf(first, second, *others).joinToString("+"))

For now you should continue using arrayOf(...).joinToString("+") until this gets patched in 1.1.0

Fixed. You can continue to use your solution and wait until 1.1.0 or use JitPack:

repositories {
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
dependencies {
    compile 'com.github.mattbdean:JRAW:998642f2db'
}
