A little work with Node.js and GitHub API - I'd like to implement some of similar functionality in my new SimpleVirtualAssistant project. Script checks repos of username, passed by url query string param 'username': http://127.0.0.1:2323/?username=bl4de

github_repos.js

var http = require("http");
var https = require("https");
var url = require("url");

var port = "2323";
var host = "127.0.0.1";

var server = http.createServer( function(request,response) {

    var _url = url.parse(request.url, true);
    // console.log(_url);

    var username = _url.query.username;

    console.log(username);

    // var username = "bl4de";
    var body = '';
    var repos = [];

    var options = {
        host : 'api.github.com',
        path : '/users/' + username + '/repos',
        method: 'GET',
        headers: {
            'User-agent': 'Node.js'
        },
        type: 'owner',
        sort: 'updated',
        direction: 'asc'
    };

    var g = https.request( options, function(gitresp) {
        gitresp.on('data', function(chunk) {
            console.log("chunk received");
            body += chunk;
        });

        gitresp.on('end', function() {
            console.log("gitresp end");

            var json = JSON.parse(body);

            json.forEach( function(repo) {
                // console.log(repo);
                repos.push({
                    name: repo.name,
                    description: repo.description,
                    html: '<li>name: ' + repo.name + ' description: ' +
                    repo.description + '</li>'
                });
            });

            response.writeHead(200, {
                "Content-type" : "text/html"
            });
            response.write('<div><h2>Repos of ' + username + 
                ' (' + repos.length + ')</h2></div><ul>');
            repos.forEach( function(repo){
                response.write(repo.html);
            });
            response.end("</ul>");
        });

    });
    g.end();

});


server.listen(port, host, function() {
    console.log("Server started on " + host + ":" + port);
});


// getRepos(username, function(repos) {
//     console.log("Repositories: ", repos);
// });
