The code imports a'reddit post' module using the importer.import() function and assigns it to a constant redditPost. The testPost function, which uses redditPost, is then exported as a module, making it available for importing in other JavaScript files.

Run example

npm run import -- "test reddit post"

test reddit post

const redditPost = importer.import("reddit post")


async function testPost() {
  await redditPost(void 0, 'this is a test', 'CollapseGently')
}


module.exports = testPost

// Import the Reddit post function
const redditPost = require('./redditPost').default;

/**
 * Test function to post a comment on Reddit.
 * @param {string} subreddit - The name of the subreddit to post in.
 * @param {string} comment - The comment to post.
 * @param {string} userId - The Reddit user ID of the account to use.
 */
async function testPost(subreddit = 'r/test', comment = 'this is a test', userId = 'CollapseGently') {
  // Validate the input parameters
  if (!subreddit || typeof subreddit!=='string') {
    throw new Error('Subreddit must be a non-empty string');
  }
  if (!comment || typeof comment!=='string') {
    throw new Error('Comment must be a non-empty string');
  }
  if (!userId || typeof userId!=='string') {
    throw new Error('User ID must be a non-empty string');
  }

  // Post the comment
  await redditPost(subreddit, comment, userId);
}

// Export the testPost function
module.exports = testPost;
