fetch-github-repositories

Fetch github repositories for a given user (or an organization).

Requirements

• Node.js v10 or higher

Why ?

• Fast and light (With a lazy API if required).
• Support both users and orgs endpoints with the kind option.
• Replacement for repos which introduce dozen of dependencies.
• Come with a bundled TypeScript definition for intellisense.

Getting Started

This package is available in the Node Package Repository and can be easily installed with npm or yarn.

$ npm i fetch-github-repositories
# or 
$ yarn add fetch-github-repositories

Usage example

const { fetch, fetchLazy } = require("fetch-github-repositories");
 
async function main() {
    const repos = await fetch("fraxken", {
        fetchUserOrgs: true // if you want an equivalent of "repos"
    });
 
    // or use lazy API
    for await (const repo of fetchLazy("fraxken")) {
        console.log(repo.full_name);
    }
}
main().catch(console.error);
