Cant get gatsby-source-github-api to load properly

[iamjmitch]

Hi,

Sorry if this is not the right place to post this but I cant seem to get this to load up properly.

I goto localhost:8000/___graphql I do now have the option of allGithubData/githubData however there is no user/repo there.

Current gatsby-node.js file

const dotenv = require("dotenv")
    dotenv.config()

  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: `gatsby-source-github-api`,
      options: {
        url: "https://api.github.com/graphql",
        token: process.env.GATSBY_GITHUB_ACCESS,
        },
    },
...
]

.env file seems to be working fine for other plugins so I don't think that's the problem.

Have tried uninstall package globally and from --save and reinstalling.

What am I doing wrong?

Edit: no issues thrown on gatsby develop

Maybe take a look at this: https://github.com/ldd/gatsby-source-github-api/issues/21#issuecomment-650036417

In particular, you do not really get any data so it's possible that the query that you are using is invalid. I looked at that person's source code and found this: https://github.com/orlovedev/orlove.dev/blob/master/gatsby-config.js#L32-L56

Let me know if that helps and if it doesn't, give me a link to your repo and/or a github gist with the relevant code from gatsby-config.js

I hope that helps!

Unfortunately I faced the same problem. Couldn't get the plugin to provide the GitHub queries.

Does anyone have an update on this? I'm unable to get it to work in Gatsby 4.10.3 and I've asked on StackOverflow: "Why am I unable to get any organization repositories from gatsby-source-github-api?"

author here. @soVader I think you are missing an ending } for your query to work (from the stack overflow question you made)

so instead of

exports.githubApiQuery = `
query($github_login: String!, $repo_count: Int!){
  viewer {
    organization(login: $github_login) {
      login
      id
      location
      name
      url
      repositories(first: $repo_count, privacy:PRIVATE) {
        nodes {
          id
          name
          openGraphImageUrl
          createdAt
          stargazerCount
          url
          description
        }
      }
    }
  }
`

it should be

exports.githubApiQuery = `
query($github_login: String!, $repo_count: Int!){
  viewer {
    organization(login: $github_login) {
      login
      id
      location
      name
      url
      repositories(first: $repo_count, privacy:PRIVATE) {
        nodes {
          id
          name
          openGraphImageUrl
          createdAt
          stargazerCount
          url
          description
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
`

Let me know if that fixes it (or if it helps)

@ldd thanks for reaching out really appreciate it. I've built and tested my query in explorer and in Postman with the token as my password using the query of:

query ($github_org: String!, $repo_count: Int!) {
  organization(login: $github_org) {
    repositories(
      first: $repo_count
      privacy: PUBLIC
      isFork: false
      orderBy: {field: UPDATED_AT, direction: DESC}
    ) {
      nodes {
        id
        name
        updatedAt
        createdAt
        stargazerCount
        url
        description
      }
    }
  }
}

variables:

{
  "github_org": "facebook",
  "repo_count": 3
}

my gatsby-config.js for the plugin:

{
      resolve: `gatsby-source-github-api`,
      options: {
        url: 'https://api.github.com/graphql',

        // token: required by the GitHub API
        token: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN,

        // GraphQLquery: defaults to a search query
        graphQLQuery: `
        query ($github_org: String!, $repo_count: Int!) {
          organization(login: $github_org) {
            repositories(
              first: $repo_count
              privacy: PUBLIC
              isFork: false
              orderBy: {field: UPDATED_AT, direction: DESC}
            ) {
              nodes {
                id
                name
                updatedAt
                createdAt
                stargazerCount
                url
                description
              }
            }
          }
        }
        `,

        // variables: defaults to variables needed for a search query
        variables: {
          github_org: process.env.GITHUB_ORG,
          repo_count: 3,
        },
      },
    },

the above query works in Postman and Explorer. Let me delete everything and start over after a reboot, VSC update and rebuild my config.
