hubcaps

a rust interface for github

Documentation

/!\ planned API changes

• implement error handling in terms of error-chain crate
• implement async interface when hyper adopts it

The goal and motivation behind these are not to intentionally make breaking changes, but rather to adopt evolving community standards

installation

Add the following to your Cargo.toml filter

toml [dependencies] hubcaps = "0.3"

usage

Basic usage requires a user-defined user agent string (because github requires this), a hyper::Client instance, and a flavor of hubcaps::Credentials for authorization. For user authenticated requests you'll typically want to use hubcaps::Credentials::Token with a personal access token. For requests that permit anonymous access, you can substitute hubcaps::Credentials::Token with hubcaps::Credentials::None

Note: hyper 0.10 no longer includes a tls implementation by default. you will need to provide one to your choosing

```rust extern crate hyper; extern crate hubcaps; extern crate hypernativetls;

use hyper::Client; use hyper::net::HttpsConnector; use hypernativetls::NativeTlsClient; use hubcaps::{Credentials, Github};

fn main() { let github = Github::new( "my-cool-user-agent/0.1.0", // tls configured hyper client Client::with_connector( HttpsConnector::new( NativeTlsClient::new().unwrap() ) ), Credentials::Token("personal-access-token") ); } ```

Github instances define functions for accessing api services that map closely to their url structure.

As a convention, api methods that expect arguments are represented as functions that accept a struct representing those arguments with an optional builder interface for convenience of construction.

repositories

Typically the reference point of most github services is a repository

rust let repo = github.repo("user", "repo");

With a repo instance on hand, you can access a number of sub services, like labels, deployments, pulls, issues, and releases. Each of this are named functions exported from the repo interface.

labels

Labels is a service for tagging resources like issues and pulls with names which you can later group and filter on.

```rust use hubcaps::LabelOptions;

let labels = repo.labels();

// create new labels println!( "{:?}", labels.create( &LabelOptions::new( "rustic", "ccc" ) ).unwrap() );

// list labels for l in labels.list().unwrap() { println!("{:?}", l) }

// delete labels labels.delete("rustic").unwrap(); ```

deployments

Deployments is a service for orchestrating deployments of applications sourced from github repositories

rust let deployments = repo.deployments();

pulls

Pulls is a service for issuing code change requests against a repository

rust let pulls = repo.pulls();

issues

Issues is a service for tracking bugs for a repository

rust let issues = repo.issues();

releases

Releases is a service for tracking changes for a stable releases of a versioned library or application

rust let releases = repo.releases();

gists

Gists is a service for micro repositories

rust let gists = github.gists();

search

Search provides a raw string query search for indexed data. Currently only search for issues is supported

rust let search_issues = github.search().issues();
