Reddit Feed

This web app integrates with Reddit’s API to show the top posts in a given subreddit.

The flow of the code is as follows:

1. The subreddit search form accepts searchTerm, sortBy and searchLimit as queries.
2. When the form identifies a 'submit' event, it parses the search queries.
3. Then it send a GET request according to that queries, to fetch the recent data from Reddit API.
4. Iterate through the relevant data (subreddit's posts) and parse all as HTML code.
5. Add the results to the Main view index.ejs file.
