ButtonWidget¶

class praw.models.ButtonWidget(reddit, _data)¶

Class to represent a widget containing one or more buttons.

Find an existing one:

button_widget = None
widgets = reddit.subreddit("redditdev").widgets
for widget in widgets.sidebar:
    if isinstance(widget, praw.models.ButtonWidget):
        button_widget = widget
        break

for button in button_widget:
    print(button.text, button.url)

Create one (requires proper moderator permissions):

widgets = reddit.subreddit("redditdev").widgets
buttons = [
    {
        "kind": "text",
        "text": "View source",
        "url": 'https://github.com/praw-dev/praw',
        "color": "#FF0000",
        "textColor": "#00FF00",
        "fillColor": "#0000FF",
        "hoverState": {
            "kind": "text",
            "text": "ecruos weiV",
            "color": "#000000",
            "textColor": "#FFFFFF",
            "fillColor": "#0000FF",
        },
    },
    {
        "kind": "text",
        "text": "View documentation",
        "url": 'https://praw.readthedocs.io',
        "color": "#FFFFFF",
        "textColor": "#FFFF00",
        "fillColor": "#0000FF",
    },
]
styles = {"backgroundColor": "#FFFF66", "headerColor": "#3333EE"}
button_widget = widgets.mod.add_button_widget(
    "Things to click", "Click some of these *cool* links!", buttons, styles
)

For more information on creation, see add_button_widget().

new_styles = {"backgroundColor": "#FFFFFF", "headerColor": "#FF9900"}
button_widget = button_widget.mod.update(shortName="My fav buttons", styles=new_styles)

Delete one (requires proper moderator permissions):

button_widget.mod.delete()

`description`	The description, in Markdown.
`description_html`	The description, in HTML.
`id`	The widget ID.
