octonode is a library for nodejs to access the github v3 api
npm install octonode
var github = require('octonode');
// Then we instanciate a client with or without a token (as show in a later section)
var ghme = client.me();
var ghuser = client.user('pksunkara');
var ghrepo = client.repo('pksunkara/hub');
var ghorg = client.org('flatiron');
var ghissue = client.issue('pksunkara/hub', 37);
var ghpr = client.pr('pksunkara/hub', 37);
var ghgist = client.gist();
var ghteam = client.team(37);
var ghsearch = client.search();
var client = github.client();
client.get('/users/pksunkara', function (err, status, body) {
console.log(body); //json object
});
var client = github.client('someaccesstoken');
client.get('/user', function (err, status, body) {
console.log(body); //json object
});
var client = github.client({
username: 'pksunkara',
password: 'password'
});
client.get('/user', function (err, status, body) {
console.log(body); //json object
});
var client = github.client({
id: 'abcdefghijklmno',
secret: 'abcdefghijk'
});
client.get('/user', function (err, status, body) {
console.log(body); //json object
});
Many of the below use cases use parts of the above code
github.auth.config({
username: 'pksunkara',
password: 'password'
}).login(['user', 'repo', 'gist'], function (err, id, token) {
console.log(id, token);
});
github.auth.config({
username: 'pksunkara',
password: 'password'
}).revoke(id, function (err) {
if (err) throw err;
});
// Web application which authenticates to github
var http = require('http')
, url = require('url')
, qs = require('querystring')
, github = require('octonode');
// Build the authorization config and url
var auth_url = github.auth.config({
id: 'mygithubclientid',
secret: 'mygithubclientsecret'
}).login(['user', 'repo', 'gist']);
// Store info to verify against CSRF
var state = auth_url.match(/&state=([0-9a-z]{32})/i);
// Web server
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
uri = url.parse(req.url);
// Redirect to github login
if (uri.pathname=='/login') {
res.writeHead(301, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain', 'Location': auth_url})
res.end('Redirecting to ' + auth_url);
}
// Callback url from github login
else if (uri.pathname=='/auth') {
var values = qs.parse(uri.query);
// Check against CSRF attacks
if (!state || state[1] != values.state) {
res.writeHead(403, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.end('');
} else {
github.auth.login(values.code, function (err, token) {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.end(token);
});
}
} else {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'})
res.end('');
}
}).listen(3000);
console.log('Server started on 3000');
You can also check your rate limit status by calling the following.
client.limit(function (err, left, max) {
console.log(left); // 4999
console.log(max); // 5000
});
All the callbacks for the following will take first an error argument, then a data argument, like this:
ghme.info(function(err, data, headers) {
console.log("error: " + err);
console.log("data: " + data);
console.log("headers:" + headers);
});
If a function is said to be supporting pagination, then that function can be used in many ways as shown below. Results from the function are arranged in pages.
The page argument is optional and is used to specify which page of issues to retrieve. The perPage argument is also optional and is used to specify how many issues per page.
// Normal usage of function
ghrepo.issues(callback); //array of first 30 issues
// Using pagination parameters
ghrepo.issues(2, 100, callback); //array of second 100 issues
ghrepo.issues(10, callback); //array of 30 issues from page 10
// Pagination parameters can be set with query object too
ghrepo.issues({
page: 2,
per_page: 100,
state: 'closed'
}, callback); //array of second 100 issues which are closed
