Module documentation for 0.28.0.1

GitHub

Haskell-CI Hackage

The GitHub API v3 for Haskell.

Some functions are missing; these are functions where the GitHub API did not work as expected. The full GitHub API is in beta and constantly improving.

Installation

In your project’s cabal file:

Build-depends:       github

Or from the command line:

cabal v1-install github

Example Usage

See the samples in the samples/ directory.

Note: some samples might be outdated.

Documentation

For details see the reference documentation on Hackage.

Each module lines up with the hierarchy of documentation from the GitHub API.

Request functions (ending with R) construct a data type which can be executed in IO by executeRequest functions. They are all listed in the root GitHub module.

IO functions produce an IO (Either Error a), where a is the actual thing you want. You must call the function using IO goodness, then dispatch on the possible error message. Here’s an example from the samples:

Many function have samples under samples/ directory.

{-# LANGUAGE NoImplicitPrelude #-}
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}

import Prelude.Compat

import Data.Text         (Text, pack)
import Data.Text.IO as T (putStrLn)
import Data.Monoid       ((<>))

import GitHub (github')
import qualified GitHub

main :: IO ()
main = do
    possibleUsers <- github' GitHub.usersFollowingR "phadej"
    T.putStrLn $ either (("Error: " <>) . pack . show)
                        (foldMap ((<> "\n") . formatUser))
                        possibleUsers

formatUser :: GitHub.SimpleUser -> Text
formatUser = GitHub.untagName . GitHub.simpleUserLogin

2012-02-15, Mike Burns

  • milestoneDueOn and repoLanguage are now Maybe types.
  • Introduce GithubOwner as the sum type for a GithubUser or GithubOrganization. Everything that once produced a GithubUser now produces a GithubOwner. All record accessors have changed their names.
  • Similar to GithubOwner, introduce DetailedOwner, which can be a DetailedUser or a DetailedOrganization. All record accessors have changed their names.
  • An HTTPConnectionError now composes SomeException instead of IOException. All exceptions raised by the underlying http-conduit library are encapulated there.
  • The githubIssueClosedBy function now produces a Maybe GithubOwner.
  • Remove the Blobs API, as it is broken upstream.
  • Bugs found and squashed thanks to Joey Hess and Simon Hengel.
