AddTeamRepo's "permission" option and AddTeamMembership's "role" option
should both be passed as part of a JSON request body, not as URL query
parameters.
- AddTeamMembership and ListTeamMembers both take new Option structs to
specify role. (BREAKING CHANGE).
- Add Role to ListMembersOptions
- update Permission and Role docs
Ref #187
- allow setting permission when adding a team repository
- update IsTeamRepo to return a *Repository instead of a bool, since the
Repository contains the permission data for the team. This is a
BREAKING CHANGE, however I don't think this is an often used method.
- update docs for setting the team permission when creating or editing a
team.
Ref #187
This includes all of the methods mentioned in this blog post:
https://developer.github.com/changes/2014-03-18-paginating-method-changes/
as well as a handful of others I found. Sadly, this is a breaking
change for many of these methods because it changes the method
signature, but with yesterday's API change these methods are now broken
anyway. :(
Like a51d6b4303, this change makes me sad, mainly because it is a
breaking change for all clients, and makes common tasks like reading
data out of structs slightly more work, with no direct benefit. Notably,
developers will need to make sure and check for nil values before trying
to dereference these pointers. Sadly, the change is still necessary, as
is more fully explained in issue #19. We can make the nil pointer
checks a little easier by adding some Get* funcs like goprotobuf does.
I spent a lot of time over the last few weeks exploring this change
(switching fields to pointers) versus the much larger change of using
protocol buffers for all GitHub data types. While the goprotobuf
library is very mature and feature-rich (it's used heavily inside of
Google), it's the wrong tool for this task, since we're not actually
using the proto wire format. While it does address the immediate
concern in #19, it makes way too many other things terribly awkward.
One of the biggest drawbacks of this change is that it will make the
string output from fmt.Printf("%v") next to useless, since all pointer
values are displayed as their memory address. To handle that, I'll be
writing a custom String() function for these structs that is heavily
inspired by goprotobuf and internals from go's fmt package.
when initializing a slice of concrete structs, it's not necessary to
declare the type of each item in the slice, since the compiler knows
what you mean.
The truth is, this change makes me sad. It's a breaking change
for all clients and it adds more complexity to the library surface. In
most cases, clients will simply drop the Response object on the floor
(which is actually all the library itself was doing before this
change... now we're just pushing that off to the client).
Initially, the Response object will be primarily of interest for
functions that return paginated result sets, since the Response.NextPage
field is the only way to know for sure if there are more pages that
should be fetched. And this is really the cleanest way to get at that
data, so in that respect this change isn't so bad.
It's also worth noting that returning the raw Response object makes a
lot more since in a GitHub library than it may in others, given how
GitHub makes liberal (read: proper) use of HTTP request and response
headers. Other APIs, like Google's various APIs for example, tend to
push things like pagination links into the response body. While this is
certainly less of a purist view in terms of REST, it does make the lives
of client developers a lot easier, since then the response body contains
everything you need to know. But whatever; this is how GitHub rolls, so
we'll roll right along with them. (Somewhat ironically we are ignoring
the RESTful links in the GitHub response bodies, since we're actually
calling the API in an RPC style and don't do anything with those links.)
We still don't have an easy way to set arbitrary request headers, but
that's a problem for another day.
Fixes#22
Since the library has received external contributions, Google is no
longer the sole copyright holder. Update the boilerplate at the top of
each file to reflect that, and add AUTHORS and CONTRIBUTORS files to
track this information.
This adds basic methods for working with issues, assignees, and issue
comments. Issue events, labels, and milestones are not included in this
commit. (Fixes#7)
Also properly return a 204 response on methods that don't include a
response body. This has no actual effect on current tests, but more
accurately reflects what the GitHub API really returns and might make a
difference in the future.
internally, http.Error uses fmt.Fprintln() which will append a newline
to what should be an empty response body. In one of my previous tests,
this was causing spurious errors. I've since rewritten that test, but
still best to avoid it here.
This commit adds the core library funcationality and establishes the
general calling style and testing structure. Only a few GitHub API
methods related to organizations and repositories are included in this
first commit, mainly to cement the calling style.
