Building GitHub Apps with Golang

• go-github-app

  2 64 0.0 Go

  Template for building GitHub Apps in Go.

To build the Go application, we will use the template I prepared in https://github.com/MartinHeinz/go-github-app. This application is ready to be used as GitHub app and all that's missing in it, are a couple of variables which we saved during setup in previous section. The repository contains convenience script which you can use to populate all the values:

• JSON-to-Go

  64 4,363 2.4 JavaScript

  Translates JSON into a Go type in your browser instantly (original)

If the event name matches one of the options we proceed with loading the JSON payload into a EventPayload struct, which is defined in cmd/app/webhook/models.go. It's just a struct generated using https://mholt.github.io/json-to-go/ with unnecessary fields stripped.

Next we need to go to https://github.com/settings/apps/new to configure the integration. Fill the fields as follows:

• go-github-mock

  1 89 6.6 Go

  A library to aid unittesting code that uses Golang's Github SDK

So far we've been testing the app with localtunnel, which is nice for quick ad-hoc tests against live API, but it doesn't replace proper unit tests. To write unit tests for this app, we need to mock-out the API to avoid being dependent on the external service. To do so, we can use go-github-mock:
