Ember Data abstraction for the GitHub API.
ember install ember-data-github
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
.
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.
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'
});
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
