> [Create][github-create-issue] an issue on a GitHub repository.

## Installation

``` bash
$ npm install github-create-issue
```

## Usage

``` javascript
var createIssue = require( 'github-create-issue' );
```

#### createIssue( slug, title, options, clbk )

[Creates][github-create-issue] an issue on a GitHub repository.

``` javascript
var opts = {
'token': 'tkjorjk34ek3nj4!'
};

createIssue( 'kgryte/test-repo1', 'Big bug.', opts, clbk );

function clbk( error, issue, info ) {
// Check for rate limit information...
if ( info ) {
console.error( 'Limit: %d', info.limit );
console.error( 'Remaining: %d', info.remaining );
console.error( 'Reset: %s', (new Date( info.reset*1000 )).toISOString() );
}
if ( error ) {
throw new Error( error.message );
}
console.log( JSON.stringify( issue ) );
// returns
}
```

The `function` accepts the following `options`:
* __token__: GitHub [access token][github-token] (*required*).
* __useragent__: [user agent][github-user-agent] `string`.
* __body__: issue content.
* __assignees__: GitHub usernames of assigned users.
* __milestone__: associated milestone `number`.
* __labels__: `array` of associated labels.

To [authenticate][github-oauth2] with GitHub, set the [`token`][github-token] option.

``` javascript
var opts = {
'token': 'tkjorjk34ek3nj4!'
};

createIssue( 'kgryte/test-repo1', 'Big bug.', opts, clbk );
```

To specify a [user agent][github-user-agent], set the `useragent` option.

``` javascript
var opts = {
'token': 'tkjorjk34ek3nj4!',
'useragent': 'hello-github!'
};

createIssue( 'kgryte/test-repo1', 'Big bug.', opts, clbk );
```

## Notes

* [Rate limit][github-rate-limit] information includes the following:
- __limit__: maximum number of requests a consumer is permitted to make per hour.
- __remaining__: number of remaining requests.
- __reset__: time at which the current [rate limit][github-rate-limit] window resets in [UTC seconds][unix-time].

---

## Examples

``` javascript

var opts = {
'token': 'tkjorjk34ek3nj4!',
'useragent': 'beep-boop-bop',
'body': 'Beep boop.'
};

createIssue( 'kgryte/test-repo1', 'Big bug.', opts, clbk );

function clbk( error, issue, info ) {
if ( info ) {
console.error( info );
}
if ( error ) {
throw new Error( error.message );
}
console.log( issue );
}
```

To run the example code from the top-level application directory,

``` bash
$ node ./examples/index.js
```

__Note__: in order to run the example, you will need to obtain an access [token][github-token] with appropriate permissions and modify the `token` option accordingly.

## CLI

### Installation

To use the module as a general utility, install the module globally

``` bash
$ npm install -g github-create-issue
```

### Usage

``` bash
Usage: ghcreateissue [options] slug

Options:

-h, --help Print this message.
-V, --version Print the package version.
--token token GitHub access token.
-ua, --useragent ua User agent.
--title title Issue title.
--body content Issue content.
--assignees user1,user2,... GitHub usernames of assigned users.
--milestone number Associated milestone number.
--labels label1,label2,... Issue labels.
```

### Notes

* In addition to the [`token`][github-token] option, the [token][github-token] may also be specified by a [`GITHUB_TOKEN`][github-token] environment variable. The command-line option __always__ takes precedence.
* Issue information is written to `stdout`.
* [Rate limit][github-rate-limit] information is written to `stderr`.

### Examples

Setting the access [token][github-token] using the command-line option:

``` bash
$ DEBUG=* ghcreateissue beep/boop --title 'Big bug.' --token
# => '{...}'
```

Setting the access [token][github-token] using an environment variable:

``` bash
$ DEBUG=* GITHUB_TOKEN= ghcreateissue beep/boop --title 'Big bug.'
# => '{...}'
```

For local installations, modify the command to point to the local installation directory; e.g.,

``` bash
$ DEBUG=* ./node_modules/.bin/ghcreateissue beep/boop --title 'Big bug.' --token
# => '{...}'
```

Or, if you have cloned this repository and run `npm install`, modify the command to point to the executable; e.g.,

``` bash
$ DEBUG=* node ./bin/cli beep/boop --title 'Big bug.' --token
# => '{...}'
```

---

## Tests

### Unit

This repository uses [tape][tape] for unit tests. To run the tests, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

``` bash
$ make test
```

All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.

### Test Coverage

This repository uses [Istanbul][istanbul] as its code coverage tool. To generate a test coverage report, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

``` bash
$ make test-cov
```

Istanbul creates a `./reports/coverage` directory. To access an HTML version of the report,

``` bash
$ make view-cov
```

### Browser Support

This repository uses [Testling][testling] for browser testing. To run the tests in a (headless) local web browser, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

``` bash
$ make test-browsers
```

To view the tests in a local web browser,

``` bash
$ make view-browser-tests
```
