Post

Post data to a Travis CI API endpoint.

Installation

$ npm install travis-ci-post

Usage

var request = require( 'travis-ci-post' );

request( [data,] options, clbk )

Sends a POST request to a Travis CI API endpoint.

var opts = {
	'pathname': '/builds/114143550/restart',
	'token': 'tkjorjk34ek3nj4!'
};

request( opts, onResponse );

function onResponse( error, results ) {
	if ( error ) {
		throw new Error( error.message );
	}
	console.dir( results );
	/* returns 
		{
			"result": true,
			"flash": [{"notice": "The build was successfully restarted."}]
		}
	*/
}

Request data may be provided as either a JSON object or a string.

var opts = {
	'pathname': '/settings/env_vars',
	'query': 'repository_id=42',
	'token': 'tkjorjk34ek3nj4!'
};

var data = {
	'env_var': {
		'name': 'BEEP',
		'value': 'boop',
		'public': false
	}
};

request( data, opts, onResponse );

The function accepts the following options:

• protocol: request protocol. Default: 'https'.
• hostname: endpoint hostname. Default: 'api.travis-ci.org'.
• port: endpoint port. Default: 443 (https) or 80 (http).
• pathname: resource pathname; e.g., /repos. Default: '/'.
• token: Travis CI access token.
• accept: media type. Default: 'application/vnd.travis-ci.2+json'.
• query: params portion of a query string; e.g., beep=boop&a=b. Default: ''.

To authenticate with an endpoint, set the token option.

var opts = {
	'pathname': '/builds/114143550/restart',
	'token': 'tkjorjk34ek3nj4!'
};

request( opts, onResponse );

To specify a particular endpoint, set the pathname option.

var opts = {
	'pathname': '/jobs/114143551/cancel',
	'token': 'tkjorjk34ek3nj4!'
};

request( opts, onResponse );

request.factory( options, clbk )

Creates a reusable function.

var opts = {
	'pathname': '/settings/env_vars',
	'query': 'repository_id=42',
	'token': 'tkjorjk34ek3nj4!'
};

var update = request.factory( opts, onResponse );

opts.pathname = '/jobs/114143551/restart';
delete opts.query;

var restart = request.factory( opts, onResponse );

// Repeatedly update an environment variable and restart a job...
var data = {
	'env_var': {
		'name': 'BEEP',
		'value': 0,
		'public': false
	}
}
update( data );
restart();

data.env_var.value += 1;
update( data );
restart();

data.env_var.value += 1;
update( data );
restart();
// ...

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

Notes

• If the module encounters an application-level error while initially querying an endpoint (e.g., no network connection, malformed request, etc), that error is returned immediately to the provided callback.

Examples

var request = require( 'travis-ci-post' );

var opts = {
	'hostname': 'api.travis-ci.org',
	'pathname': '/builds/114143550/restart',
	'token': 'tkjorjk34ek3nj4!'
};

request( opts, onResponse );

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

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

$ node ./examples/index.js

Note: in order to run the example, you will need to obtain an access token and modify the token option accordingly.

CLI

Installation

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

$ npm install -g travis-ci-post

Usage

Usage: travispost [options]

Options:

  -h,  --help               Print this message.
  -V,  --version            Print the package version.
       --protocol protocol  Request protocol. Default: https.
       --hostname host      Hostname. Default: api.travis-ci.org.
  -p,  --port port          Port. Default: 443 (https) or 80 (http).
       --pathname pathname  Resource pathname. Default: '/'.
       --token token        Travis CI access token.
       --accept media_type  Media type. Default: application/vnd.travis-ci.2+json.
  -d,  --data data          Request data.
  -qs, --query querystring  Params portion of a query string.

Notes

• In addition to the token option, the token may also be specified by a TRAVISCI_TOKEN environment variable. The command-line option always takes precedence.

Examples

Setting the access token using the command-line option:

$ DEBUG=* travispost --token <token> --pathname '/builds/114143550/restart'

Setting the access token using an environment variable:

$ DEBUG=* TRAVISCI_TOKEN=<token> travispost --pathname '/builds/114143550/restart'

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

$ DEBUG=* ./node_modules/.bin/travispost --token <token> --pathname '/builds/114143550/restart'

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> --pathname '/builds/114143550/restart'

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
