POE::Component::Github - A POE component for the Github API

SYNOPSIS

   use strict;

   use POE qw(Component::Github);
   
   my $user = 'bingos';
   
   my $github = POE::Component::Github->spawn();

     return;
   }

DESCRIPTION

POE::Component::Github is a POE component that provides asynchronous access to the Github API http://develop.github.com/ to other POE sessions or components. It was inspired by Net::Github.

The component handles communicating with the Github API and will parse the JSON data returned into perl data structures for you.

The component also implements flood control to ensure that no more than 60 requests are made per minute ( which is the current limit ).

CONSTRUCTOR

spawn

Spawns a new POE::Component::Github session and returns an object. Takes a number of optional parameters:

  'login', provide a default login name to use for authenticated requests;
  'token', provide a default Github API token to use for authenticated requests;

METHODS

The following methods are available from the object returned by spawn.

get_session_id: Returns the POE session ID of the component's session.
yield: Send an event to the component's session.

INPUT EVENTS

These are events that the component will accept. The format of all events is:

  $poe_kernel->post( POCO_GITHUB, EVENT, COMMAND, HASHREF_OF_OPTIONS );

  $github_object->yield( EVENT, COMMAND, HASHREF_OF_OPTIONS );

Where EVENT is either user, repositories, commits, object, issues or network.

Where authentication is required it will be indicated. This may be either provided during spawn or provided as arguments to each command. You may obtain the token for your Github account from https://github.com/account

Three options are common to all commands, event, session and postback.

It is possible to send arbitary data with your query. If you are using postback the best way to achieve this is using the normal postback mechanism. Otherwise you may provide underscore prefixed keys in the hashref that you send with requests. These will be sent back with the results of your request.

event: The name of the event in the requesting session to send the results. Mandatory unless postback is specified.
session: Specify that an alternative session receive the results event instead, purely optional, the default is to send to the requesting session.
postback: Instead of specifying an event, one may specify a POE::Session postback instead. See the docs for POE::Session for more details.

User API

http://develop.github.com/p/users.html

Searching users, getting user information and managing authenticated user account information.

Send the event user with one of the following commands:

search

Search for users. Provide the parameter user to search for.

  $poe_kernel->post( $github->get_session_id, 
        'user', 'search', { event => '_search', user => 'moocow' } );

Show extended information about a user. Provide the parameter user to query.

  $poe_kernel->post( $github->get_session_id, 
        'user', 'show', { event => '_show', user => 'moocow' } );

If authentication credentials are provided a show on your own user will have extra extended information regarding disk usage etc.

following

Network API

http://develop.github.com/p/network.html

The ( Not So ) Secret Network API

Send the event network with one of the following commands:

network_meta

Provide user and repo.

  $poe_kernel->post( $github->get_session_id, 'network', 'network_meta',
          { 
            event => '_network',

            repo     => 'the-barn',
          } 
  );

network_data_chunk

Provide user and repo, and nethash, optionally start and end.

  $poe_kernel->post( $github->get_session_id, 'network', 'network_data_chunk',
          { 
            event => '_network', 
            user     => 'moocow',
            repo     => 'the-barn',
            nethash  => $nethash,
            start    => $start,
            end      => $end,
          } 
  );

OUTPUT EVENTS

Events that the component sends back to your requesting session will have a HASHREF as ARG0 ( postback requests will have this as the first item in the ARRAYREF in ARG1 ).

Any arbitary data that you passed as underscore prefixed keys will exist along with the following:

  'data', contains the data that was returned from the API call, if successful.
  'error', if there was a problem, this will exist and contain some text relating to the error.

Example, this is returned by the SYNOPSIS

  {
     'cmd' => 'show',
     'user' => 'bingos',
     'data' => {
                'user' => {
                           'location' => undef,
                           'followers_count' => 37,
                           'name' => 'Chris Williams',
                           'blog' => 'http://use.perl.org/~bingos/journal/',
                           'public_repo_count' => 100,
                           'login' => 'bingos',
                           'email' => '',
                           'created_at' => '2009/03/10 08:13:36 -0700',
                           'public_gist_count' => 1,
                           'id' => 62011,
                           'company' => undef,
                           'following_count' => 129
