github-lang-getter

A Node.JS module to retrieve a Github user's git contributions by programming language

Usage

See examples in /examples

Install npm install --save github-lang-getter

Import const langGetter = require('github-lang-getter');

Get Repository Language Composition

Return the language makeup of a user's repositories, in bytes

NOTE: The numbers returned by these methods reflect the number of bytes committed by all contributors.

var token = 'YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN'; // https://github.com/settings/tokens
langGetter.getRepoLanguages(token).then((result) => {
    console.log(result);
}).catch((err) => {
    console.log(err);
});

For getRepoLanguages, you can also supply an optional second parameter to specify the visibility and affiliation of repositories to find. NOTE: Both visibility and affiliation are optional.

var token = 'YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN'; // https://github.com/settings/tokens
var options = {
    visibility: 'all' // 'all', 'public', or 'private'
    affiliation: ['owner'] // combination of 'owner', 'collaborator', and 'organization_member'
};
langGetter.getRepoLanguages(token, options).then((result) => {
    console.log(result);
}).catch((err) => {
    console.log(err);
});

You can also use getRepoLanguagesByUsername to query for another user's language makeup.

var username = 'GITHUB-USERNAME';
var token = 'YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN'; // https://github.com/settings/tokens
langGetter.getRepoLanguagesByUsername(token, username).then((result) => {
    console.log(result);
}).catch((err) => {
    console.log(err);
});

The above methods return an object similar to the following:

{
  CSS: 2194,
  HTML: 3627,
  JavaScript: 5909
}

Get User's Commit Language Composition

Return the language makeup of a user's commits, in bytes

NOTE: The numbers returned by these methods reflect the number of bytes only committed by the user.

var token = 'YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN'; // https://github.com/settings/tokens
langGetter.getCommitLanguages(token).then((result) => {
    console.log(result);
}).catch((err) => {
    console.log(err);
});

For getCommitLanguages, you can also supply an optional second parameter to specify the visibility and affiliation of repositories to find. NOTE: Both visibility and affiliation are optional.

var token = 'YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN'; // https://github.com/settings/tokens
var options = {
    visibility: 'all' // 'all', 'public', or 'private'
    affiliation: ['owner'] // combination of 'owner', 'collaborator', and 'organization_member'
};
langGetter.getCommitLanguages(token, options).then((result) => {
    console.log(result);
}).catch((err) => {
    console.log(err);
});

You can also use getCommitLanguagesByUsername to query for another user's language makeup.

var username = 'YOUR-USERNAME';
var token = 'YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN'; // https://github.com/settings/tokens
langGetter.getCommitLanguagesByUsername(token, username).then((result) => {
    console.log(result);
}).catch((err) => {
    console.log(err);
});

The above methods return an object similar to the following:

{
  CSS: {
      bytes: 2194,
      commits: 12
  },
  HTML: {
      bytes: 3627,
      commits: 9
  },
  JavaScript: {
      bytes: 5909,
      commits: 16
  }
}

Building

github-lang-getter uses Babel to build. Install the latest version of Node.JS

npm install
npm run build

The npm run build script transpiles all files in /src and outputs them in /dist

Tests

Mocha tests are located in /test

To run the tests, create a .env file at the root directory with contents like the following:

GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN=YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN
GITHUB_USERNAME=YOUR-USERNAME

Run the following commands

npm install
npm test
