User Repositories

Get meta data for repositories associated with a user.

Installation

$ npm install github-user-repos

Usage

var repos = require( 'github-user-repos' );

repos( opts, clbk )

Gets meta data for repositories associated with a user.

var opts = {
	'username': 'kgryte'
};

repos( opts, clbk );

function clbk( error, results, info ) {
	// Check for rate limit information...
	if ( info ) {
		console.error( 'Limit: %d', info.limit );
		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 <repo_data>
}

The function accepts the following options:

• token: Github access token.
• username: Github username.
• type: repository type. Can be one of all, owner, member, public, or private. The public and private options are only applicable if the function is provided a token and no username.
• sort: method used to sort meta data. Can be one of full_name, created, pushed, or updated.
• direction: sort direction; either asc or desc.
• visibility: repository visibility. Can be one of all, public, or private. Applicable if provided a token and no username. Ignored if type option is present.
• affiliation: repository affiliation. A comma-separated list of values, which may include: owner, collaborator, organization_member. Applicable if provided a token and no username. Ignored if type option is present.
• useragent: user agent string.

To authenticate with Github, set the token option.

var opts = {
	'token': 'tkjorjk34ek3nj4!'
};

repos( opts, clbk );

To specify a user agent, set the useragent option.

var opts = {
	'username': 'kgryte',
	'useragent': 'hello-github!'
};

repos( opts, clbk );

To return repositories of a particular type, set the type option.

var opts = {
	'username': 'kgryte',
	'type': 'owner'
};

repos( opts, clbk );

To return repositories of a particular visibility, set the visibility option.

var opts = {
	'token': 'tkjorjk34ek3nj4!',
	'visibility': 'private'
};

repos( opts, clbk );

To return repositories of a particular affiliation, set the affiliation option.

var opts = {
	'token': 'tkjorjk34ek3nj4!',
	'affiliation': 'collaborator,organization_member'
};

repos( opts, clbk );

repos.factory( options, clbk )

Creates a reusable function.

var opts = {
	'username': 'kgryte',
	'token': 'tkjorjk34ek3nj4!'
};

var get = repos.factory( opts, clbk );

get();
get();
get();
// ...

The factory method accepts the same options as repos().

Notes

• Either a username or a token or both must be provided. If provided a token, but not a username, the function fetches repositories associated with the authenticated user.
• If not provided a token, the function can only return public repository meta data.
• 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 repos = require( 'github-user-repos' );

var opts = {
	'username': 'kgryte',
	'useragent': 'beep-boop-bop'
};

repos( opts, clbk );

function clbk( error, results, info ) {
	if ( info ) {
		console.error( info );
	}
	if ( error ) {
		throw new Error( error.message );
	}
	console.log( results );
}

To run the example code from the top-level application directory,

$ DEBUG=* node ./examples/index.js

CLI

Installation

To use the module as a general utility, install the module globally

$ npm install -g github-user-repos

Usage

Usage: ghuserrepos [options]

Options:

  -h,  --help                    Print this message.
  -V,  --version                 Print the package version.
       --token token             Github access token.
       --username username       Github username.
  -ua, --useragent ua            User agent.
       --visibility visibility   Repository visibility: public, private, all.
       --affiliation affiliation Repository affiliation.
       --type type               Repository type: forks, public, private, etc.
       --sort sort               Sort method: full_name, created, pushed, etc.
       --direction dir           Sort direction: asc, desc.

Notes

• In addition to the token option, the token may also be specified by a GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable. The command-line option always takes precedence.
• Request resources are written to stdout.
• Rate limit information is written to stderr.

Examples

Setting the access token using the command-line option:

$ DEBUG=* ghuserrepos --token <token> --username kgryte
# => '[{...},{...},...]'

Setting the access token using an environment variable:

$ DEBUG=* GITHUB_TOKEN=<token> ghuserrepos --username kgryte
# => '[{...},{...},...]'

For local installations, modify the command to point to the local installation directory; e.g.,

$ DEBUG=* ./node_modules/.bin/ghuserrepos --token <token>  --username kgryte
# => '[{...},{...},...]'

Or, if you have cloned this repository and run npm install, modify the command to point to the executable; e.g.,

$ DEBUG=* node ./bin/cli --token <token> --username kgryte
# => '[{...},{...},...]'

Tests

Unit

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

$ make test

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,

$ make view-browser-tests
