This connector uses the Octokit GitHub REST API package.

Reshuffle GitHub Connector

This package contains a Reshuffle connector to connect to GitHub.

The following example listens to all GitHub events on a repository:

const { Reshuffle } = require('reshuffle')
const { GitHubConnector } = require('reshuffle-github-connector')

const app = new Reshuffle()
const connector = new GitHubConnector(app, {
  token: process.env.TOKEN,
  runtimeBaseUrl: process.env.RUNTIME_BASE_URL
})

connector.on({ githubEvent: 'push' }, (event) => {
  console.log('GitHub Event: ', event)
})

app.start()

Create an API token from your GitHub account:

1. Log in and go to https://github.com/settings/tokens.
2. Click "Generate new token".
3. Click Copy to clipboard, then paste the token to your script, or elsewhere to save

Configuration Options:

Provide options as below for connecting to GitHub:

const connector = new GitHubConnector(app, {

To use GitHub connector events, you need to provide at least your runtimeBaseUrl. You can also override the default webhookPath and webhookName.

interface GithubConnectorConfigOptions extends OctokitOptions {
  secret?: string
  webhookPath?: string
  runtimeBaseUrl?: string
  token?: string
}

  log?: {
    debug: (message: string) => unknown
    info: (message: string) => unknown
    warn: (message: string) => unknown

  repo: process.env.REPO,
  githubEvent: GithubEvent
}

Examples of event listeners:

const app = new Reshuffle()
const connector = new GitHubConnector(app, {
  token: process.env.TOKEN,
  runtimeBaseUrl: process.env.RUNTIME_BASE_URL
})

connector.on({ 
    owner: process.env.OWNER,
    repo: process.env.REPO,
    githubEvent: 'issues' 
  }, async (event, app) => {
  console.log(event)
})

connector.on({ 
    owner: process.env.OWNER,
    repo: process.env.REPO,
    githubEvent: 'fork' 
  }, async (event, app) => {
  console.log(event)
})

Connector actions

All actions are provided via the sdk. // See full list of actions with documentation Octokit GitHub Rest.js Documentation

Few examples:

• Get the issues for a repository

const repoIssues = await connector.sdk().issues.get({
  owner,
  repo,
  issue_number,
})

• Create a pull request

const pullRequest = await connector.sdk().pulls.create({
  owner,
  repo,
  title,
  head,
  base,
})

• Follow another user:

const user = await connector.sdk().users.follow({
  username,
})
