Github.js
Github.js provides a minimal higher-level wrapper around Github's API.
Usage
/*
Data can be retrieved from the API either using callbacks (as in versions < 1.0)
or using a new promise-based API. The promise-based API returns the raw Axios
request promise.
*/
import GitHub from 'github-api';
// unauthenticated client
const gh = new GitHub();
let gist = gh.getGist(); // not a gist yet
gist.create({
public: true,
description: 'My first gist',
files: {
"file1.txt": {
content: "Aren't gists great!"
}
}
}).then(function({data}) {
// Promises!
let createdGist = data;
return gist.read();
}).then(function({data}) {
let retrievedGist = data;
// do interesting things
});
var GitHub = require('github-api');
// basic auth
var gh = new GitHub({
username: 'FOO',
password: 'NotFoo'
/* also acceptable:
token: 'MY_OAUTH_TOKEN'
*/
});
var me = gh.getUser(); // no user specified defaults to the user for whom credentials were provided
me.listNotifications(function(err, notifications) {
// do some stuff
});
var clayreimann = gh.getUser('clayreimann');
clayreimann.listStarredRepos(function(err, repos) {
// look at all the starred repos!
});
API Documentation
API documentation is hosted on github pages, and is generated from JSDoc; any contributions should include updated JSDoc.
Installation

or unpkg.
npm install github-api
<!-- just github-api source (5.3kb) -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/github-api/dist/GitHub.min.js"></script>

GitHub Tools
The team behind Github.js has created a whole organization, called GitHub Tools, dedicated to GitHub and its API. In the near future this repository could be moved under the GitHub Tools organization as well. In the meantime, we recommend you to take a look at other projects of the organization.
