# gists.py

A simple asynchronous python wrapper for the [GitHub Gists](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/gists) API
----------
This API wrapper mainly focuses on the Gists part of the GitHub API, not the entire API

## Features
*All unchecked features are planned*
### Gists
- [ ] `GET`ing from `/gists`, to get authenticated user's Gists
- [ ] `GET`ing from `/users/{username}/gists` to get a user's Gists
- [ ] `GET` ing from `/gists/public` to get public Gists
- [ ] `GET` ing from `/gists/starred` to get authenticated user's starred Gists
- [X] `POST`ing to `/gists`, to create a Gist
- [X] `GET` ing from `/gists/{gist_id}` to get a Gist
- [X] `PATCH`ing to `/gists/{gist_id}`, to edit a Gist
- [X] `DELETE`ing from `/gists/{gist_id}` to delete a Gist
### Gists - Forks
- [ ] `POST`ing to `/gists/{gist_id}/forks` to fork a Gist to the authenticated user's profile
### Gists - Star
- [ ] `GET`ing from `/gists/{gist_id}/star` to check if a gist is starred by the authenticated user
- [ ] `PUT`ing `/gists/{gist_id}/star` to star a Gist with the authenticated user
- [ ] `DELETE`ing from `/gists/{gist_id}/star` to unstar a Gist with the authenticated user
### Gists - Comments
- [ ] `GET`ing from `/gists/{gist_id}/comments` to get all comments on a Gist
- [ ] `POST`ing to `/gists/{gist_id}/comments` to create a comment on a Gist
- [ ] `GET`ing from `/gists/{gist_id}/comments/{comment_id}` to get a comment on a Gist
- [ ] `PATCH`ing to `/gists/{gist_id}/comments/{comment_id}` to edit a comment of the authenticated user on a Gist
- [ ] `DELETE`ing from `/gists/{gist_id}/comments/{comment_id}` to delete a comment of the authenticated user on a Gist

## Installation
```sh
pip install gists.py
```
or
```sh
pip install git+https://github.com/WitherredAway/gists.py
```

## Usage examples
*This section is a work in progress*

### Import gists and instantiate a client
```py
# Import asyncio
import asyncio
# Import the package
import gists

# Create a client instance
client = gists.Client()
```
### Get a gist
```py
async def main_get():
    # Getting a gist does not require authorization

    # This method fetches the gist associated with the provided gist id, and returns a Gist object
    gist = await client.get_gist("GIST ID")
    return gist

# Run the main_get() function
gist = asyncio.run(main_get())
# Print the gist's description
print(gist.description)
```
### Create a new gist
```py
async def main_create() -> gists.Gist:
    # Creating a gist requires authorization, use client.authorize to authorize the client
    await client.authorize("YOUR GITHUB PERSONAL ACCESS TOKEN")
    
    # The description to set
    description = "Hi this is a gist"

    # The files to create in the new gist
    files = [
        gists.File(name="example.txt", content="I like turtles"),
        gists.File(name="helloworld.py", content="print(\"Hello, world!\")"),
    ]
    
    # Whether or not the gist should be public
    public = True

    # This method creates a new gist and returns a Gist object associated with that gist
    gist = await client.create_gist(files, description=description, public=public)
    return gist
        
# Run the main_create() function
gist_1 = asyncio.run(main_create())
# Print the gist's id
print(gist_1.id)
```
### Edit gist using the edit method of a Gist object
```py
async def main_edit():
    # Editing a gist requires authorization, but we already authorized the client when creating the gist

    # The description to edit to
    description = "Hello this is a gist, but edited"

    # The files to edit in gist

    files = [
        # Use a unique filename for the name parameter to create a new file
        gists.File(name="newfile.txt", content="New file"),
        # Use an existing filename for the name parameter to edit that file
        gists.File(name="example.txt", content="I like all animals"),
        # Use an existing filename for the name parameter and
        # pass in the new_name parameter to edit the name of that file,
        # in which case the content parameter is not mandatory
        gists.File(name="helloworld.py", new_name="hellouniverse.py")
    ]
    await gist_1.edit(files=files, description=description)
    
# Run the main_edit() function
asyncio.run(main_edit())
# Print the gist's edited description
print(gist_1.description)
```
