grunt-repos

Grunt task to download a list of repos from GitHub's API

Getting Started

If you haven't used grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide.

From the same directory as your project's Gruntfile and package.json, install this plugin with the following command:

npm install grunt-repos --save-dev

Once that's done, add this line to your project's Gruntfile:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-repos');

If the plugin has been installed correctly, running grunt --help at the command line should list the newly-installed plugin's task or tasks. In addition, the plugin should be listed in package.json as a devDependency, which ensures that it will be installed whenever the npm install command is run.

The "repos" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named repos to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  repos: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    }
  }
})

Options

username

Type: String Default: assemble

List repositories for the specified org. Using src, you must also pass an HTTP query string as a parameter, e.g. repos?page=1&per_page=100. This is done the way to keep the task light and flexible. (See the Gruntfile for examples).

path

Type: String Default: /orgs/assemble/

If you don't like how the task constructs the path by default, a custom path may be defined. Any custom parameters may be specified as segments in the path or passed as an HTTP query string parameter in the src.

filterBy

Type: String Default: name

The property to use to filter the collection. This option works in conjunction with options.include and options.exclude.

exclude

Type: String|Array Default: undefined

Keywords to use for excluding repos from the returned array. If the property defined using filterBy contains any values with excluded keywords, the repo will be omitted from the list.

include

Type: String|Array Default: undefined

Keywords to use for whitelisting repos in the returned array. Unless excluded, if the property defined using filterBy contains any values with these keywords, the repo will be included in the list.

sortBy

Type: String Default: name

The property by which to sort the collection.

sortOrder

Type: String Default: asc

The order in which to sort the collection.

namespace

Type: String Default: "repos": []

Add the list of repos to an array with the given property name. If left undefined, "repos": [] will be used. Specify false if you don't want to add the array to a property.

Usage Examples

namespaced list

Add the list of repos to an array with the given property name.

grunt.initConfig({
  repos: {
    options: {
      path: '/orgs/assemble/',
      namespace: 'assemble'
    },
    files: {
      'test/fixtures/data/helpers.json': ['repos?page=1&per_page=100']
    }
  }
});

Returns:

{
  "assemble": [
    {
      "id": 5916767,
      "name": "assemble",
      "full_name": "assemble/assemble",
      "owner": {
        "login": "assemble",
        "id": 2645080,
        ...
      }
    }
  ]
}

no namespace

Or just return the array of repos.

grunt.initConfig({
  repos: {
    no_namespace: {
      options: {
        path: '/orgs/assemble/',
        namespace: false,
      },
      files: {
        'test/actual/no_namespace.json': ['repos?page=1&per_page=100']
      }
    }
  }
});

Returns:

[
  {
    "id": 5916767,
    "name": "assemble",
    "full_name": "assemble/assemble",
    "owner": {
      "login": "assemble",
      "id": 2645080,
      ...
    }
  }
]
