I created this project as an open source initiative to help resolve the issues on the Flutter Repository faster. Being a Flutter Developer myself, I have always applauded the commitment of the Flutter team to help and resolve issues, but when you have 7,000+ open issues, it definitely helps to have as much community support as we can get.
- It hits the Github Search API for issues, that are open. The full URL which is used is:
https://api.github.com/search/issues?q='e'+is:issue+state:open+repo:flutter/flutter&sort=updated
For consecutive requests we alternate between sorting by updated and created.
-
In response, GitHub gives us a list of issues, which we go through to identify which issues to tweet about.
-
Finally when we have our selected list, we use capture-website to get a screenshot of the issue url, and then send the image along with a tweet. This is done for all the selected issues.
git clone https://github.com/ayush221b/flutter-issues-bot.git
cd flutter-issues-bot
npm install
touch .env
Then inside the .env file, put in all your Twitter API credentials, as per the keys given in config.js
- Fork the Project to your GitHub Account
