I'm trying to make an electron app that gets the file names of a directory in a repository. I just don't know how to do this with the api. I know there is a way, I just don't know how.
For example:
I want to get the file names in the src/ directory of a github repository using the api.
I use axios to make api requests.
Use Get repository content endpoint, documented here
Check out an example using Octokit
| List Repository contents | View in Fusebit  |
|---|
// If you don't send the path property, by default will send the contents from the root level
const repoContent = await github.rest.repos.getContent({
owner: 'repo-owner',
repo: 'repo-name'
});
console.log('Files found at root level', repoContent.data.map((file) => file.name));
