github-deploy-notify

Send notification to GitHub deployment API

Simple utility for sending a notification to GitHub deployment API of a deployment.

Install

npm install github-deploy-notify -g

Example usage

Usage via command line

Create file github-deploy-notify.config.js

module.exports = {
  githubToken: 'df89s7af89ds0a7daa',
  project: 'my-project-name',
  org: 'my-org-name',
  body: {
    // insert options according to 
    // https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/deployments/#create-a-deployment
  }
}

Then run

github-deploy-notify --verbose

The tool looks by default for a configuration object from ./github-deploy-notify.config.js. You can also specify an alternative path for the configuration object with the --config option.

Usage via Javascript API

var githubDeployNotify = require('github-deploy-notify');
deployNotify({
  githubToken: 'df89s7af89ds0a7daa',
  project: 'my-project-name',
  org: 'my-org-name',
  body: {
    // insert options according to 
    // https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/deployments/#create-a-deployment
  }
}, function(err) {
    if (err) {
      console.log('Failed to send notification to GitHub deployment API');
    } else {
      console.log('Notification delivered to GitHub deployment API');
