github-repos

A shard that makes it easy to fetch data about specific repositories.

This module was original made as part of a personal project which is why only a few properties has been added to GitHub::Repo, however, contributions are very welcome ;).

Installation

1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

   dependencies:
     github-repos:
       github: henrikac/github-repos
   

2. Run shards install

Usage

Keep in mind that "Unauthenticated clients can make 60 requests per hour" 1.

require "github-repos"

repos = GitHub.fetch_repos("henrikac", ["pokeapi", "github-repos", "prettytable"])

if repos.empty?
  puts "Didn't find any repositories :'("
else
  repos.each { |r| puts r.title }
end

The original purpose of this module was to fetch repository data every 5 minutes. By doing this the data displayed to potential users was always up-to-date.

require "github-repos"

mut = Mutex.new
repos = Array(GitHub::Repo).new

spawn do
  loop do
    mut.lock
    repos = GitHub.fetch_repos("henrikac", ["pokeapi", "github-repos", "prettytable"])
    mut.unlock

    sleep 5.minutes
  end
end
