GitHub for Dart

This is a Client Library for GitHub in Dart. I wrote this out of necessity, and then when I got a great reaction from the Dart community, I decided to put a lot of effort into it. Please submit issues and pull requests, join my IRC channel, help out, or just give me encouragement, I will surely do everything you ask.

Getting Started

First, add the following to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  github: ">=0.5.8 <1.0.0"

Then import the library and use it:

For the Server

import 'package:github/client.dart';

void main() {
  var github = new GitHub();
  github.repository(new RepositorySlug("DirectMyFile", "github.dart")).then((Repository repo) {
    /* Do Something */
  });
}

For the Browser

import 'package:github/browser.dart';

void main() {
  /* Required to setup GitHub for the Browser */
  initGitHub();
  
  var github = new GitHub();
  github.repository(new RepositorySlug("DirectMyFile", "github.dart")).then((Repository repo) {
    /* Do Something */
  });
}

Authentication

To use a GitHub token:

var github = new GitHub(auth: new Authentication.withToken("YourTokenHere"));
