This repo is an example of consuming the GitHub GraphQL in Julia using auto-generated types.
The following libraries are employed:
- https://github.com/laurium-labs/graphql-julia-codegen
- https://github.com/laurium-labs/GraphQLCodegen.jl
The JSON response from the server is automatically parsed into the auto-generated types. This is possible because GraphQL queries come back in a predictable format.
You will need to set the env variable with export github_access_token=YOUR_TOKEN_HERE. A token can be generated from GitHub web ui (https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token).
If you change a GraphQL query, you need to re-run code generation: graphql-julia-codegen --source="src/" --destination="src/generated/" --endpoint="https://api.github.com/graphql" --header="Authorization:Bearer $github_access_token"
If you do not have graphql-julia-codegen see https://github.com/laurium-labs/graphql-julia-codegen for install instructions.
