Add author flair data to Post and Comment objects
The .json endpoints for posts and comments in the data API contain:
-
author_flair_template_id -
author_flair_css_class -
author_flair_richtext -
author_flair_text_color -
author_flair_text -
author_flair_type -
author_flair_background_color
These are quite hard to access via Devvit. Some of them are exposed in the event data for some triggers, but that's not a reliable way to get them. The User.getUserFlairBySubreddit() method only exposes author_flair_text and author_flair_css_class.
I understand there are difficulties with adding more flair data to the User object, so in the interim adding it to the Post and Comment objects would make obtaining things like a user's flair template ID far more reliable.
It appears I may be able to expose this data myself. It is already passed into the Post and Comment object constructors in the protos data, so it's just a matter of adding and setting those properties.
