At the moment my call to the GitHub API returns all issues for my repo.
var repoIssueRequest = new RepositoryIssueRequest
{
State = itemState,// Is ItemState.Open or ItemState.Closed
Labels = new[] { label1, label2}// Trying to specify the labels I want to filter by, but there is no set, so this won't work
};
var gitRepoIssues = (_gitHubclient.Issue.GetForRepository(string owner, string repo name, repoIssueRequest)).Result.ToList();
I want to not just specify whether to get open or closed issues, but by labels too. The spec (View Here) specifies labels as one of the parameters, but in octokit.net I can't specify a list of labels, as it only has the getter accessor.
RepositoryIssueRequest
implements IssueRequest
, and the IssueRequest
contains public Collection<string> Labels { get; }
.
At the moment I filter by labels after getting all the issues, but a lot of data must be getting returned if a couple hundred issues are being returned and then filtering this collection of issues. How can I specify the labels, so that the time it takes to return the collection of issues is reduced?
I opened an issue on the Octokit.net repo, and got an answer to my problem.
var repoIssueRequest = new RepositoryIssueRequest
{
State = itemState,// Is ItemState.Open or ItemState.Closed
//Labels = new[] { label1, label2}// Don't specify label names here
};
repoIssueRequest.Labels.Add("Label1");// Repeat for label 2 and so on or use .AddRange()
var gitRepoIssues = (_gitHubclient.Issue.GetForRepository(string owner, string repo name, repoIssueRequest)).Result.ToList();
My thanks to shiftkey for a quick response to my issue
