gitbook-comments

A project focusing on comments integrated with code management providers like GitLab or GitHub.

Installation

Add the following plugins to your book.json and run the command gitbook install

{
    "plugins": ["comments-footer"]
}

Usage

1. GitHub

To use this plugin in a GitBook project deployed on GitHub, the first step is to install the GitHub app in your repository for accessing.

And then, the configuration option can be set as an object like the following snippet:

{
    "plugins": [
        "comments-footer"
    ],
    "pluginsConfig": {
        "comments-footer": {
            "type": "github",
            "repo": "trainings-juanmaguitar/gitbook-comments-juanmaguitar",
            "copyright": "Copyright © aleen42"
        }
    }
}

2. GitLab

What if using it in GitLab? You may need to create an application yourself with API scope accessing.

• Name: any name you want
• Redirect URI: the page url you published
• Scopes: choose api

And then, the configuration option can be set as an object like the following snippet:

{
    "plugins": [
        "comments-footer"
    ],
    "pluginsConfig": {
        "comments-footer": {
            "type": "gitlab",
            "repo": "fe-components/fe-documents",
            "copyright": "Copyright © aleen42",
            "redirect": "xxx",
            "clientId": "xxx",
            "host": "http://git.xxx.cn/"
        }
    }
}

• redirect: the page url you published
• clientId: the Application ID of your application created above
• host: the GitLab server host

TODO

• Disable subscribing states when commenting on articles.
• Replying features on GitLab.
• GitLab features depend on the functions around commit comments: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/59798. Use discussion instead.
• GitLab private access token has no detailed scope for avoiding abusing by others. It means that I cannot get discussions when users do not authorize themselves.
