🐙 @rodbe/github-api

Typed and customizable wrapper for the GitHub REST API. Handles pagination automatically and supports custom mappers to transform responses into the shape your app needs.

📦 Installation

npm install @rodbe/github-api
# or
pnpm add @rodbe/github-api

✅ Requirements

• Node.js >= 18.18.2
• A GitHub personal access token 🔑

📖 API

All functions accept a token parameter (GitHub personal access token) and an optional mapper function to transform each item in the response.

getOrgs({ token, mapper? }) 🏢

Fetches all organizations for the authenticated user. Handles pagination automatically.

import { getOrgs } from '@rodbe/github-api';

const { organizations, errors } = await getOrgs({ token: 'ghp_...' });

// With a custom mapper
const { organizations } = await getOrgs({
  token: 'ghp_...',
  mapper: org => ({ id: org.id, name: org.login, avatar: org.avatar_url }),
});

Returns: { organizations: T[], errors: Error[] }

getReposByUser({ token, mapper? }) 👤

Fetches all repositories for the authenticated user (owned, member, forked, etc.).

import { getReposByUser } from '@rodbe/github-api';

const repos = await getReposByUser({ token: 'ghp_...' });

// With a custom mapper
const repos = await getReposByUser({
  token: 'ghp_...',
  mapper: repo => ({ name: repo.name, isPrivate: repo.private, stars: repo.stargazers_count }),
});

Returns: T[]

getReposByOrg({ token, org, mapper? }) 🏗️

Fetches all repositories for a specific organization.

import { getReposByOrg } from '@rodbe/github-api';

const repos = await getReposByOrg({ token: 'ghp_...', org: 'my-org' });

// With a custom mapper
const repos = await getReposByOrg({
  token: 'ghp_...',
  org: 'my-org',
  mapper: repo => ({ name: repo.name, url: repo.html_url }),
});

Returns: T[]

getReposByOrgs({ token, orgs, mapper? }) 🏗️🏗️

Fetches repositories for multiple organizations in a single call. Returns a record keyed by org name.

import { getReposByOrgs } from '@rodbe/github-api';

const result = await getReposByOrgs({
  token: 'ghp_...',
  orgs: ['org-a', 'org-b'],
});

result['org-a']; // OrgRepository[]
result['org-b']; // OrgRepository[]

// With a custom mapper
const result = await getReposByOrgs({
  token: 'ghp_...',
  orgs: ['org-a', 'org-b'] as const,
  mapper: repo => repo.name,
});

Returns: Record<Org, T[]>

getStarredRepos({ token, mapper? }) ⭐

Fetches all repositories starred by the authenticated user.

import { getStarredRepos } from '@rodbe/github-api';

const starred = await getStarredRepos({ token: 'ghp_...' });

// With a custom mapper
const starred = await getStarredRepos({
  token: 'ghp_...',
  mapper: repo => ({ name: repo.name, language: repo.language }),
});

Returns: T[]

🔄 Custom mappers

Every function accepts an optional mapper callback that receives the raw GitHub API object and returns a value of any shape. The return type of the function is inferred automatically from the mapper's return type.

// Without mapper → returns UserRepository[]
const repos = await getReposByUser({ token });

// With mapper → returns { name: string; stars: number }[]
const repos = await getReposByUser({
  token,
  mapper: repo => ({ name: repo.name, stars: repo.stargazers_count }),
});

🧩 Types

The following types are exported and can be used in your own code:

| Type | Description | | ---------------- | ------------------------------------- | | Organization | GitHub organization object | | UserRepository | Repository returned by user endpoints | | OrgRepository | Repository returned by org endpoints | | Owner | Repository owner object | | Permissions | Repository permissions object | | License | Repository license object |
