ProjectV2 Client

This is an in-progress client to use the ProjectV2 functionality through the GitHub GraphQL API.

Setup

1. Install the projectv2 module: pip3 install github-projectv2
2. Create a .env file in the root containing a value for GITHUB_API_TOKEN (this will be loaded using python-dotenv)
3. Use the requirements.txt file to ensure you have all of the dependencies you need.
4. Enjoy!

NOTE: You can use an actual environment variable instead of the .env approach, setting the same GITHUB_API_TOKEN value

Example Usage

from projectv2.project import Project

project = Project()
project.get('myorg', '1234')
print(project.title)

# Find the field with the name "Test Field 1"
found = None
for field in project.fields:
    if field.name == "Test Field 1":
        found = field

if found is None:
    raise Exception("Field not found")

items = project.get_items('myorg')
print(items)

# Look on the project fields and find the one with the name "Test Field 1" and get its options
# Then, find the option with the name "Option 1" and get its id

for option in found.options:
    if option.name == "test3":
        newOption = option

for item in items:
    result = item.update_field_value(project, field, newOption)
    print(result)

NOTE: When the get method is called on the Project, the get_fields method will automatically be called to populate the fields property with instances of the Field class.
