🚀 Usage Examples

Basic Setup

import { createGitHubApiWrapperFromEnv } from '@flakeguard/shared';
import pino from 'pino';

const logger = pino();
const wrapper = createGitHubApiWrapperFromEnv(logger);

Making Requests with Resilience

// High-priority check run creation
const checkRun = await wrapper.request({
  method: 'POST',
  endpoint: '/repos/{owner}/{repo}/check-runs',
  priority: 'high',
  data: {
    name: 'FlakeGuard',
    head_sha: 'abc123',
    status: 'in_progress',
  },
});

Artifact Downloads with Streaming

// Stream large artifacts
for await (const chunk of wrapper.streamArtifact({
  artifactId: 12345,
  owner: 'org',
  repo: 'repo',
  chunkSize: 64 * 1024,
  maxRetries: 3,
})) {
  await processChunk(chunk);
}

Health Monitoring

import { createHealthCheck } from '@flakeguard/shared';

const healthCheck = createHealthCheck(wrapper);

app.get('/health/github', async (req, res) => {
  const health = await healthCheck();
  res.status(health.healthy ? 200 : 503).json(health);
});

📊 Monitoring Integration

Prometheus Metrics

The wrapper exposes metrics compatible with Prometheus:

github_api_requests_total
github_api_failures_total
github_api_rate_limit_remaining
github_api_circuit_breaker_state
github_api_response_time_p95_ms

Alerting Rules

Pre-configured alerting rules for:

Rate limit exhaustion
Circuit breaker opening
High failure rates
Response time degradation
