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

Class to represent a custom widget.

Find an existing one:

    "My custom widget", "# Hello world!", "/**/", 200, [], styles

custom = custom.mod.update(shortName="My fav customization", styles=new_styles)

Delete one (requires proper moderator permissions):

custom.mod.delete()
