Ember Data Github

Ember Data abstraction for the GitHub API.

Installation

ember install ember-data-github

Usage

You need to choose how you wish to authenticate your GitHub requests using OAuth. ember-data-github provides a simple and direct mechanism that is specific to itself. Alternatively, you can use a more general authentication framework like ember-simple-auth.

Authenticating Directly

If you already have a token to use the OAuth endpoints, such as a Personal access token, you must set the property named githubAccessToken on github-session service with the currently logged in user's GitHub access token.

Authenticating with ember-simple-auth

If you are using ember-simple-auth (ESA) to authenticate, perhaps with torii and ESA's torii-provider, you can authenticate by creating a github authorizer and extending ember-data-github's adapter for each model you use. See the respective addon docs and GitHub's OAuth docs to set it up.

Once you have a token, the authorizer will look like

// app/authorizers/github.js

import Ember from 'ember';
import Base from 'ember-simple-auth/authorizers/base';

export default Base.extend({
  session: Ember.inject.service(),
  authorize(sessionData, block) {
    if (this.get('session.isAuthenticated') && !Ember.isEmpty(sessionData.access_token)) {
      block('Authorization', `token ${sessionData.access_token}`);
    }
  }
});

assuming access_token is the name of the property containing the token. This automatically injects the Authorization header into the API requests using ESA mechanisms.

An extended adapter for github-user would look like

// app/adapters/github-user.js

import GitHubUserAdapter from 'ember-data-github/adapters/github-user';
import DataAdapterMixin from 'ember-simple-auth/mixins/data-adapter-mixin';

export default GitHubUserAdapter.extend(DataAdapterMixin, {
  authorizer: 'authorizer:github'
});

Retrieving GitHub Data

The following examples show how to retrieve each supported GitHub entity as you might use it in your model hook.

this.get('store').findRecord('github-user', '#'); // get the current user
this.get('store').findRecord('github-user', 'jimmay5469'); // get a user
this.get('store').findRecord('github-repository', 'jimmay5469/old-hash'); // get a repository
this.get('store').findRecord('github-branch', 'jimmay5469/old-hash/branches/master'); // get a branch
this.get('store').queryRecord('github-branch', { repo: 'jimmay5469/old-hash', branch: 'master' }); // get a specific branch
this.get('store').query('github-branch', { repo: 'jimmay5469/old-hash' }); // get a repo's branches
this.get('store').queryRecord('github-release', { repo: 'jimmay5469/old-hash', releaseId: 1 }); // get a specific release
this.get('store').query('github-release', { repo: 'jimmay5469/old-hash' }) // get a repo's releases
