Does GitHub's GraphQL API have an equivalent to the contents API?
I can't seem to come up with a query that accepts repo owner, repo name and file path and returns the contents of the file. I'm guessing it has something to do with the tree object?
https://developer.github.com/early-access/graphql/explorer/
After some digging, found it:
query {
repository(name: "repoName", owner: "repoOwner") {
object(expression: "branch:path/to/file") {
... on Blob {
text
}
}
}
}
The argument passed to expression
on the object
field is actually a git revision expression suitable for rev-parse
, so I guess you can have fun with it to do advanced querying.
