Class for moderating a subreddit’s widgets.

Get an instance of this class from SubredditWidgets.mod.

Example usage:

styles = {"backgroundColor": "#FFFF66", "headerColor": "#3333EE"}
subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("learnpython")
await subreddit.widgets.mod.add_text_area("My title", "**bold text**", styles)

Note

To use this class’s methods, the authenticated user must be a moderator with appropriate permissions.

__init__(subreddit, reddit)¶: Initialize the class.

await add_button_widget(short_name, description, buttons, styles, **other_settings)¶

Add and return a ButtonWidget.

Parameters

short_name – A name for the widget, no longer than 30 characters.
description – Markdown text to describe the widget.

buttons –

A list of dicts describing buttons, as specified in Reddit docs. As of this writing, the format is:

Each button is either a text button or an image button. A text button looks like this:

{
    "kind": "text",
    "text": a string no longer than 30 characters,
    "url": a valid URL,
    "color": a 6-digit rgb hex color, e.g. `#AABBCC`,
    "textColor": a 6-digit rgb hex color, e.g. `#AABBCC`,
    "fillColor": a 6-digit rgb hex color, e.g. `#AABBCC`,
    "hoverState": {...}
}

An image button looks like this:

{
    "kind": "image",
    "text": a string no longer than 30 characters,
    "linkUrl": a valid URL,
    "url": a valid URL of a reddit-hosted image,
    "height": an integer,
    "width": an integer,
    "hoverState": {...}
}

Both types of buttons have the field hoverState. The field does not have to be included (it is optional). If it is included, it can be one of two types: text or image. A text hoverState looks like this:

{
    "kind": "text",
    "text": a string no longer than 30 characters,
    "color": a 6-digit rgb hex color, e.g. `#AABBCC`,
    "textColor": a 6-digit rgb hex color, e.g. `#AABBCC`,
    "fillColor": a 6-digit rgb hex color, e.g. `#AABBCC`
}

An image hoverState looks like this:

{
    "kind": "image",
    "url": a valid URL of a reddit-hosted image,
    "height": an integer,
    "width": an integer
}

Note

The method upload_image() can be used to upload images to Reddit for a url field that holds a Reddit-hosted image.

Note

An image hoverState may be paired with a text widget, and a text hoverState may be paired with an image widget.
