console.error( 'Remaining: %d', info.remaining );
console.error( 'Reset: %s', (new Date( info.reset*1000 )).toISOString() );
}
if ( error ) {
throw new Error( error.message );
}
console.log( JSON.stringify( results ) );
// returns <user_data>
}
The function

:
- token: Github access token.
- username: Github username.
- useragent: user agent
string
.
To authenticate with Github, set the token
option.
var opts = {
'token': 'tkjorjk34ek3nj4!'
};
following( opts, clbk );
To get a list of users a particular user is following, set the username
option.
var opts = {
'username': 'kgryte'
};
following( opts, clbk );
To specify a user agent, set the useragent
option.
var opts = {
'useragent': 'hello-github!'
};
following( opts, clbk );
following.factory( options, clbk )
Creates a reusable function
.
var opts = {
'username': 'kgryte',
'token': 'tkjorjk34ek3nj4!'
};
var get = following.factory( opts, clbk );
get();
get();
get();
// ...
The factory method accepts the same options
as following()
.
Notes
- Either a
username
or atoken
or both must be provided. If provided atoken
, but not ausername
, thefunction
fetches who the authenticated user is following on Github. - Rate limit information includes the following:
- limit: maximum number of requests a consumer is permitted to make per hour.
- remaining: number of remaining requests.
- reset: time at which the current rate limit window resets in UTC seconds.
Examples
var following = require( 'github-following' );
var opts = {
'username': 'kgryte',
'useragent': 'beep-boop-bop'
};
following( opts, clbk );
function clbk( error, results, info ) {
if ( info ) {
console.error( info );
}
if ( error ) {
throw new Error( error.message );
}
console.log( results );
}

Tests
Unit
This repository uses tape for unit tests. To run the tests, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.
Test Coverage
This repository uses Istanbul as its code coverage tool. To generate a test coverage report, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:
$ make test-cov
Istanbul creates a ./reports/coverage
directory. To access an HTML version of the report,
$ make view-cov
Browser Support
This repository uses Testling for browser testing. To run the tests in a (headless) local web browser, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:
$ make test-browsers
To view the tests in a local web browser,
