Octokit.swift

Installation

Using Swift Package Manager:

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
  name: "MyAwesomeApp",
    dependencies: [
      .package(url: "https://github.com/nerdishbynature/octokit.swift", from: "0.9.0"),
    ]
  )

Authentication

Octokit supports both, GitHub and GitHub Enterprise. Authentication is handled using Configurations.

There are two types of Configurations, TokenConfiguration and OAuthConfiguration.

TokenConfiguration

TokenConfiguration is used if you are using Access Token based Authentication (e.g. the user offered you an access token he generated on the website) or if you got an Access Token through the OAuth Flow

You can initialize a new config for github.com as follows:

let config = TokenConfiguration("YOUR_PRIVATE_GITHUB_TOKEN_HERE")

or for GitHub Enterprise

let config = TokenConfiguration("YOUR_PRIVATE_GITHUB_TOKEN_HERE", url: "https://github.example.com/api/v3/")

After you got your token you can use it with Octokit

Octokit(config).me() { response in
  switch response {
  case .success(let user):
    print(user.login as Any)
  case .failure(let error):
    print(error)
  }
}

OAuthConfiguration

OAuthConfiguration is meant to be used, if you don't have an access token already and the user has to login to your application. This also handles the OAuth flow.

You can authenticate an user for github.com as follows:

let config = OAuthConfiguration(token: "<Your Client ID>", secret: "<Your Client secret>", scopes: ["repo", "read:org"])
let url = config.authenticate()

or for GitHub Enterprise

let config = OAuthConfiguration("https://github.example.com/api/v3/", webURL: "https://github.example.com/", token: "<Your Client ID>", secret: "<Your Client secret>", scopes: ["repo", "read:org"])

After you got your config you can authenticate the user:

// AppDelegate.swift

config.authenticate()

func application(application: UIApplication, openURL url: NSURL, sourceApplication: String?, annotation: AnyObject?) -> Bool {
  config.handleOpenURL(url) { config in
    self.loadCurrentUser(config) // purely optional of course
  }
  return false
}

func loadCurrentUser(config: TokenConfiguration) {
  Octokit(config).me() { response in
    switch response {
    case .success(let user):
      print(user.login)
    case .failure(let error):
      print(error)
    }
  }
}

Please note that you will be given a TokenConfiguration back from the OAuth flow. You have to store the accessToken yourself. If you want to make further requests it is not necessary to do the OAuth Flow again. You can just use a TokenConfiguration.

let token = // get your token from your keychain, user defaults (not recommended) etc.
let config = TokenConfiguration(token)
Octokit(config).user(name: "octocat") { response in
  switch response {
  case .success(let user):
  	print("User login: \(user.login!)")
  case .failure(let error):
  	print("Error: \(error)")
  }
}
