GitHub Data

Quickly populate mocks with real data from GitHub!

Usage

To populate data from GitHub, layers need to describe what data they should render.

You can do this by naming your layers with the following syntax:

__{fieldname}, e.g. __bio, or __avatar_url

For nested values, use dot syntax:

__owner.avatar_url

For example field names, see the following examples:

• user: https://api.github.com/users/brianlovin
• org: https://api.github.com/orgs/github
• repo: https://api.github.com/repos/withspectrum/spectrum
• issues: https://api.github.com/repos/withspectrum/spectrum/issues
• pull requests: https://api.github.com/repos/withspectrum/spectrum/pulls
