ts-node VS snoowrap

I thought this was going to be a project like ts-node [1]

The command specified in the app option uses ts-node by default, which is an execution engine for Node.js that allows you to run TypeScript code directly. The --prefer-ts-exts flag prevents ts-node from prioritizing precompiled .js files and will always import the TypeScript source code instead, if it is available. This is useful if you are also using tsc (the TypeScript compiler) alongside the app option. The bin/cdk.ts file is the entry point for our CDK app, which defines the main function that will be executed when the app is run.

If you want to write apps that run on Node.js I would suggest using Google’s TypeScript style guide. You can start using it by simply running npx gts init. I’d suggest that you start with this and run your apps using ts-node/ts-node-dev because it does not require an extra build step.

ts-node (“TypeScript execution and REPL for Node.js”)

Here is a relevant discussion and dev comment: https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-node/issues/155

It does support ESM, with a --loader[1], but even with its SWC option it’s still significantly slower than the esbuild loader I’m working on. Unfortunately, esbuild isn’t totally compatible with tsc, so it’s not a drop-in replacement without plugins.

The process of compiling TypeScript source files into JavaScript code before executing them with Node.js can get a little tedious after a while, especially during development. You can eliminate the intermediate steps before running the program through the ts-node CLI to execute .ts files directly. Go ahead and install the ts-node package using the command below:

I tried suggested solution by https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-node/issues/1007 but this causes problem with NestJS decorators:

I've look at the source code on https://github.com/not-an-aardvark/snoowrap/tree/master but the code looks very confusing so I still dont know how it works. Can someone explain? thanks!

There is. Use something like https://github.com/not-an-aardvark/snoowrap and it's easy

You can access directly the official reddit API from this library https://github.com/not-an-aardvark/snoowrap It was wrappers around all the endpoints https://www.reddit.com/dev/api/

I found this library that I can use for streaming everything and from reading this other post on this Reddit it seems like I should first send the comments & submissions to a queue like Apache Kafka and then bulk insert them into my database. I've never used anything like this, so what do you guys recommend?

I use PRAW for the most time but I think otherRequester in this example should work.

Use snoowrap

The Reddit bot looks like it'll be easy. Using a package like https://github.com/not-an-aardvark/snoowrap, it allows syntax like:

I'm learning some JavaScript so I figured I'd do some testing with the Reddit API with snoowrap. I wasn't aware of the API rules when I first started testing, I didn't have a descriptive user agent and I may have been unintentionally making more requests then I should've.
