tentacles-streams

A streaming GitHub client for pagenated results for node.js.

What is Tentacles Streams?

Tentacles Streams is an adapter for the Tentacles GitHub client. It takes pagenated results from the GitHub API and returns a stream of results. All pages of results will automatically be fetched from GitHub.

Using Tentacles Streams

Install Tentacles Streams:

$ npm install tentacles-streams --save

var TentaclesStreams = require('tentacles-streams');
 
/* Options are passed through to the tentacles client. */
var client = new TentaclesStreams({ accessToken: process.env.GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN });
 
/* Creates a ReadableStream in object stream mode. Options are passed through to Tentacles */
var stream = client.issue.listAllVisibleForAuthUser({ query: { state: 'all', per_page: 10 /* Will default to 100 */ } });
 
/* Pipe the stream somewhere */
stream.pipe(issueProcessor);
 
/* .. or use events .. */
stream.on('data', function(issue) {
  /* Do something with the issue */
});
 
stream.on('end', function() {
  /* All results have been read */
});
 
stream.on('error', function(err) {
  /* An error occurred */
});

Batching Pages

You can configure Tentacles Streams to pump the each page of results through as an hash of { items: [], page: n, lastPage: m }, rather than individual items. To do this, set { stream: { batchPages: true } } in the options hash.

var TentaclesStreams = require('tentacles-streams');
 
var client = new TentaclesStreams();
var stream = client.issue.listForRepo('ruby/ruby', { stream: { batchPages: true } });
 
stream.on('data', function(data) {
  console.log(data.items.length); // 100 (or `per_page`) items
  console.log(data.page); // 1 - n
  console.log(data.lastPage); // n
});

Backpressure, Pause and Resume

The streams support backpressure and pause and resume

var TentaclesStreams = require('tentacles-streams');
 
var client = new TentaclesStreams();
var stream = client.issue.listForRepo('ruby/ruby');
 
var count = 0;
stream.on('data', function(issue) {
  console.log(issue);
 
  /* Pause for 1s every hundred issues */
  if (++count % 100 === 0) {
    stream.pause();
    setTimeout(function() {
      stream.resume();
    }, 1000);
  }
});

Skipping results

If you want to skip some pages in the results, set { query: { page: X } } in the options hash.

var TentaclesStreams = require('tentacles-streams');
 
var client = new TentaclesStreams();
var stream = client.issue.listForRepo('ruby/ruby', { query: { page: 5 } });
 
/* Will start streaming from page 5 of results */
