GithubPilot - Github API V3 Swifty Wrapper

This is a Swift Github API Wrapper, it could make your life a little easier if you want to make an App with Github's wonderful data.

Installation

CocoaPods

Add a Podfile to your project, then edit it by adding:

use_frameworks!
pod 'GithubPilot', '~>1.0.3'

then, run the following command:

$ pod install

From now on you should use {Project}.xcworkspace to open your project

Before You start

Setup Your developer applications

Go to your Github homepage, tap your avatar -> Setting, on your left choose Applications -> Developer applications, then you should tap register a new OAuth application on your top right side.

Remember you should use a custom Authorization callback URL, which will be used later, eg. FunnyGithubTest://random After registration, you could get your Client ID and Client Secret.

Setup Your Project

To allow your user to be re-directed back to your app after OAuth dance, you'll need to associate a custom URL scheme with your app.

Open your Xcode then open Info.plist of your project. copy and paste following code to your Info.plist source code.

  <key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
  <array>
      <dict>
          <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
          <array>
              <string>your.custom.scheme(eg. FunnyGithubTest)</string>
          </array>
      <dict>
  <array>

Usage

Authentication

First, add import GithubPilot at the top of your AppDelegate. You could then add application(_: didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:) with following to authenticate your client. You also should take care of scope parameter that your client will use, refer to Github Scope

Github.setupClientID("YourClientID", clientSecret: "YourClientSecret", scope: ["user", "repo"], redirectURI: "YourCustomCallBackURL")
Github.authenticate()

Second, add following code to your AppDelegate to get Github access token

func application(application: UIApplication, openURL url: NSURL, sourceApplication: String?, annotation: AnyObject) -> Bool 
{
    Github.requestAccessToken(url)
    return true
}

Used in Code

Users

Get the authenticated user

if let client = Github.authorizedClient {
        client.users.getAuthenticatedUser().response({ user, requestError in
            if let me = user {
                print(me.description)
            } else {
                print(requestError?.description)
            }
        })
}

Get a user with username

if let client = Github.authorizedClient {
        client.users.getUser(username: "onevcat").response({ (githubUser, error) -> Void in
            if let user = githubUser {
                print(user.description)
            } else {
                print(error?.description)
            }
        })
}

Get a page of users from `since` id

if let client = Github.authorizedClient {
        client.users.getAllUsers("1209").response({ (httpResponse, users, requestError) -> Void in
            if let response = httpResponse {
                // next `since` id
                print("Since   :\(response)")
            }
            if let result = users {
                for user in result {
                    print(user.description)
                }
            } else {
                print(requestError?.description)
            }
        })
}

Repositories

Get repositories of authenticated user

if let client = Github.authorizedClient {
        client.repos.getAuthenticatedUserRepos().response({ (result, error) -> Void in
            if let repos = result {
                print(repos.count)
                for i in repos {
                    print(i.name)
                    print(i.stargazersCount)
                }
            }
            if let requestError = error {
                print(requestError.description)
            }
        })
}

Get a repo by repo name and repo owner name

if let client = Github.authorizedClient {
        client.repos.getRepo("Yep", owner: "CatchChat").response({ (result, error) -> Void in
            if let repo = result {
                print(repo.name)
            }
            if let requestError = error {
                print(requestError.description)
            }
        })
}

Get repos belong to a user

if let client = Github.authorizedClient {
    client.repos.getRepoFrom(owner: "onevcat").response({ (nextPage, result, error) -> Void in
        if let page = nextPage {
            print("Next Page is \(page)")
        }
        if let repos = result {
            print(repos.count)
            for r in repos {
                print(r.name)
                print(r.stargazersCount)
            }
        }
        if let requestError = error {
            print(requestError.description)
        }
    })
}

Events

Get received events for a user

if let client = Github.authorizedClient {
    client.events.getReceivedEventsForUser("someUser", page: "1").response({ (nextpage, results, error) -> Void in
        if let events = results {
            // New events
        }
    })
}

Example

You could refer to one of my project GitPocket as an example.

Future Work

There all tons of other API I haven't implementated, like Search. I will continuously make this repo better. Welcome to pull request and open issues.
