A node library to interact with the GitHub users API
const ghusers = require('ghusers')
, authOptions = { user: 'rvagg', token: '24d5dee258c64aef38a66c0c5eca459c379901c2' }
// get user by login/username
ghusers.get(authOptions, 'substack', function (err, user) {
// object containing full details of @substack
console.log(user)
})
The auth data is compatible with ghauth so you can just connect them together to make a simple command-line application:
const ghauth = require('ghauth')
, ghusers = require('ghusers')
, authOptions = {
configName : 'team-lister'
, scopes : [ 'user' ]
}
ghauth(authOptions, function (err, authData) {
ghusers.get(authData, 'rvagg', function (err, user) {
console.log(user)
})
})
