Script Kit meets Octokit

happy to do a live coding show :) Want to join in? I built johnlindquist/kit#221 for now, but I'd love to hook it up with @octoherd, so you could run any existing Octoherd Script with kit, and get the prompts using your sweat UI!

Let's do it

— @johnlindquist on twitter

Update: kit does currently not support importing ES Modules, so we will postpone that idea for now. We will instead create a kit script using @octokit

Outline

• Introductions, what is Script Kit
• Use GitHub's API from Kit, persist the GitHub token
• Use Octokit from Kit
  • Import Octokit
  • Import TypeScript definitions
  • create a new repository issue
• Attempt to use an @octoherd script from Kit
  • esm import workaround
  • Try to use https://github.com/octoherd/script-star-or-unstar from Kit

Recording

• YouTube: https://youtu.be/aSjHCTKuJOc

Shownotes

• scriptkit.com
• scriptkit-octokit - The Octokit SDK for Script Kit
• The two scripts we published: Set GitHub profile status johnlindquist/kit#246

Preparation

• Build a minimal kit example that uses @octokit
• create an Outline for the show
• confirm outline with @johnlindquist

[johnlindquist]

To be clear, kit supports esm. The "npm" auto-installer/importer is a WIP for esm.

You can import esm modules in your scripts with the standard js import keyword or the "await import" function.
