Github Batch

Because sometimes, you just need to create a whole bunch of issues.

Current version: 0.0.1 (Changelog)

Github Batch provides a batch interface for creating issues for Github repos. Currently, it can create issues singly; in the future, it will be able to create them by parsing textfiles, and from uploaded images.

Requirements

• Node
• NPM

Installation

For the backend:

• cd gatekeeper && npm install

For the frontend:

• cd web && npm install && bower install

Development

For the backend:

• Add your Github API ID and secret to the environment variables OAUTH_CLIENT_ID and OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET
• Run node server.js in the gatekeeper directory.

For the frontend:

• Run grunt serve in the web directory.

Credits

Thanks to the Prose team for creating Gatekeeper, which made learning the OAuth steps less painful.

github-batch's Issues

Combine API and server for deployment

It would be simpler to deploy as one app, rather than a separate frontend and API with Gatekeeper.

http://scotch.io/tutorials/javascript/creating-a-single-page-todo-app-with-node-and-angular suggests a way to do it...

Create additional site info

• How it works
• Pricing
• Contact

Create repo select view

• List all repos
• Dynamic filter by name

Create image review view

• List all images
• Allow editing of title
• Allow editing of body
• Submit button

Make navbar fixed

/choose-repo hits API too early

/choose-repo tries to hit the Github API before the token is properly set - ANNOY

Create payment handler with Stripe

Write more tests

These were started in #16, but there are still plenty to go.

Tidy up auth

Instead of testing pages, create an interceptor that checks a property on a route's parameters to determine access.

Create image upload view

• Drag and drop multiple images onto area
• Reject other file types

Allow images to be hosted on S3

Add repo / issue information to navbar

Get repos from organisations as well

The Github API docs suggest the /user/repos endpoint doesn't provide org repos the user has access to.

This needs to be checked, and if true, we need to be able to list and post issues to org repos as well.

Add markdown support

Issue bodies should have support for Markdown in the first instance, and at some point, (GFM)[https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavored-markdown/]

Implement login via github
