Contributing

If you've ever made a pull request on github before, you probably know more about it than me. I would really appreciate any help on this project, so if you have an idea on how to improve it, please feel free to submit an issue or pull request.

Example: Recursively traversing a comment tree

rust fn print_tree(listing: Listing<Comment>, level: i32) { for comment in listing { match comment { Comment::Loaded(data) => { for _ in 0..level { print!("\t"); } println!("Comment by {}", data.author); print_tree(data.replies, level + 1); }, _ => {}, } } } print_tree(tree, 0);

Example: Authorizing as Ouath Script type

rust let mut app = App::new("appnamehere", "v0.0.2", "/u/usernamehere/"); reddit.conn.auth = Some(reddit.authorize(username, password, OauthApp::Script(app_id, app_secret)).unwrap());

Generic Notice: This is an unstable project yadda yadda yadda use it if you dare thanks
