## Prerequisites

1. A recent version of Node (8+)

1. VS Code: [here](https://code.visualstudio.com/download/?WT.mc_id=redditfier-github-sicotin)

1. Azure Functions CLI: [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-run-local?WT.mc_id=redditfier-github-sicotin)  

1. Azure Functions Extension for VS Code: [here](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/?WT.mc_id=redditfier-github-sicotin&itemName=ms-azuretools.vscode-azurefunctions)  

1. Azure account: [here](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/?wt.mc_id=redditfier-github-sicotin)

## How to run this

1. Clone this repository and cd into *serverless*

1. Create *local.settings.json* file and add:

```json

{

  "IsEncrypted": false,

  "Values": {

    "AzureWebJobsStorage": "",

    "FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME": "node",

    "REDDIT_KEY": "YOUR-TOKEN-HERE",

  }

}

```

> Retrieve your Reddit access token by following steps in the *Get Reddit Authorisation token* section.

1. Run ```npm i``` and ```npm start```

1. To test your function, make a POST request to your function's URL [http://localhost:7071/api/submit-link](http://localhost:7071/api/submit-link) with a body that looks like this:

```json

{

    "title":"Use this *checklist* to review your application architecture from a *resiliency* standpoint; Application Design, Data Management, Security, Testing & Deployment",

    "url":"https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/architecture/checklist/resiliency?WT.mc_id=redditifier-github-sicotin",

    "sr":"/r/AZURE/"

}

```

## Get Reddit Authorisation token

Before requesting an authorization toked you need to create an application. If you haven't done that already, make sure to follow steps in this [quick start example](https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit/wiki/OAuth2-Quick-Start-Example).

Make request to [https://www.reddit.com/api/v1/access_token](https://www.reddit.com/api/v1/access_token)

Authorization: Basic Auth

Username: 

Password: 

Form Data:

grant_type: password

username: 

password: 

If all goes well, you should get a response that looks similar to this:

```json

{

    "access_token": "1224568486-RCwzdKMP4zdSt6ASetZpYa80qr4",

    "token_type": "bearer",

    "expires_in": 3600,

    "scope": "*"

}

```
