depaginate

Consume paginated APIs and return a giant array

This is a helper function which works best with the GitHub v3 api. I am more than happy to extend it to other APIs as needed.

Install

$ npm install --save depaginate

Usage

const Octo = require('octokat')
const octo = new Octo()
const depaginate = require('depaginate');
 
function test () {
  var inputArray = []
  return depaginate(inputArray, function (opts) {
    return octo.repos(opts.org, opts.repo).branches.fetch({
      per_page: 100,
      page: opts.page
    })
  }, {
    org: opts.org,
    repo: repo.name
  })
}

API

depaginate(array, callFx, [options])

array

Type: array

This is the array that will be returned. It needs to be set outside of the callFx, hence passing it in.

callFx

Type: function

This is the function to call the API again.

options

Type: object

This is specifically for page, but also for any options required by the call function.
