Are higher-level GraphQL functions in scope of this package?

[salim-b]

Some time ago I've written three (two of them non-trivial) functions based on gh::gh_gql():

• gh_dir_ls
• gh_text_file()
• gh_text_files() (convenience wrapper combining the first two functions)

Currently they live in my pal package. It's not on CRAN, the development version can be installed via remotes::install_gitlab("salim_b/r/pkgs/pal"). Sources are found here.

In this comment I sense reservations against the introduction of higher-level functions in gh. Still, I think those functions could be useful for a broader audience, so I'd like to ask whether you're open for a pull request to directly include them in gh.

Thanks! Those functions are indeed out of scope here. No doubt that they are useful, but we want to keep gh minimal and un-opinionated.

We could potentially include them in the documentation as examples, but even that has a non-trivial amount of maintenance burden.

Ok, understood. It was worth a try. 😄
