Get Issues Data

[dtsrkb]

We are looking to implement something that will grab issues off of the githubapi and display them on the introduction page component in Augur. There is a possible starting point when looking at how they grab issues for the metrics, but instead of putting them in a dataframe we are going to display the issues.

@annotate(tag='open-issues')
    def open_issues(self, owner, repo):
        """
        Timeseries of the number of issues opened per day.

        :param owner: The username of the project owner.
        :param repo: The name of the repository.
        :return: DatFrame with number of issues opened per day.
        """

        url = 'https://api.github.com/repos/{}/{}/issues?state=all'.format(owner, repo)
        issues = []

        while True:
            response = requests.get(url, auth=('user', self.GITHUB_API_KEY))
            issues += response.json()

            if 'next' not in response.links:
                break

            url = response.links['next']['url']

        df = pd.DataFrame(issues, columns=['created_at'])
        df['created_at'] = pd.to_datetime(df['created_at']).dt.normalize()
        df = df.groupby('created_at').size().reset_index(name='count')

        return df 

This is the function we are currently looking at ^^^

The issues will be displayed under where it says "Issues For Newcomers" above the metrics and below the form elements

Maybe change the title to "get issues data"

The SQL code for retrieving this information from the database is roughly finished, but there are a few tweaks in order to make it perfect. There is still no way for us to take this info and display it on the frontend.

Our code now retrieves and displays the URL data for the 5 most recent issues on a repository in the UI. Next step will be to format this data appropriately for the UI, which is being handled in a different issue. This issue is being considered closed
