Octo Issue Tracker

About

It's a simple API that can listen to github issues events. Consists of three main endpoints:

• GET /v1/issues: that lists all the issues saved.

• GET /v1/issues/:number/events: that lists all the events that occurred on a specific issue.

• POST /v1/events: the webhook that you can use to listen and save issue events.

Setup

You need to install Docker, Docker Compose and clone this repository to your local machine.

Inside the project folder perform:

docker-compose build
docker-compose run --rm web rake db:create db:migrate

After that, execute:

docker-compose run --rm -e EDITOR=vim web bin/rails credentials:edit --environment development

Now you have to set two environment variables:

• default_username: a default username for basic authentication.

• default_password: a default password for basic authentication.

Usage

Enter the project directory and run:

docker-compose up -d

To access the endpoints, you could use a API client of your preference, like Insomnia or Postman.

In the request, you need to pass a basic authentication header, with the default username and password, which you defined earlier.

The POST request doesn't need authentication and it's payload is like the following example:

{
	"action": "opened",
	"issue": {
		"number": 1,
		"title": "Odit non inventore illo.",
		"body": "Sed nesciunt debitis. Tempora aut incidunt.",
		"updated_at":"2020-10-23T00:37:00Z"
	}
}

Github Webhooks

With everything set up, you can use ngrok to run a local server, which listens for issue events from a github repository. To do this, install ngrok and run:

ngrok http 3000

Copy the server base URL, generated by ngrok, go to the github webhook pages and put:

ngrokBaseURL/v1/events

Tests

In the project folder, run:

docker-compose run --rm web bundle exec rspec spec
