Readme for github-0.2.0

Github

The Github API v3 for Haskell.

This is currently a read-only API.

Some functions which do not require authentication are also missing; these are functions where the Github API did not work as expected. The full Github API is in beta and constantly improving.

Installation

In your project's cabal file:

-- Packages needed in order to build this package.
Build-depends:       github

Or from the command line:

cabal install github

Example Usage

See the samples in the samples/ directory.

Documentation

For details see the reference documentation on Hackage. Later.

Each module lines up with the hierarchy of documentation from the Github API.

Each function has a sample written for it.

All functions produce an IO (Either Error a), where a is the actual thing you want. You must call the function using IO goodness, then dispatch on the possible error message. Here's an example from the samples:

import Github.Users.Followers
import Data.List (intercalate)
main = do
  possibleUsers <- usersFollowing "mike-burns"
  putStrLn $ either (\error -> "Error: " ++ $ show error)
                    (intercalate "\n" . map githubUserLogin)
                    possibleUsers
