Projects and their Associated Objects¶

This section of the documentation covers the representations of various objects related to the Projects API.

Project Objects¶

class github3.projects.Project(json, session)¶

Object representing a single project from the API.

See http://developer.github.com/v3/projects/ for more details.

body¶: The Markdown formatted text describing the project.

created_at¶: A datetime representing the date and time when this project was created.

creator¶: A ShortUser instance representing the user who created this project.

id¶: The unique identifier for this project on GitHub.

name¶: The name given to this project.

number¶: The repository-local identifier of this project.

owner_url¶: The URL of the resource in the API of the owning resource - either a repository or an organization.

updated_at¶: A datetime representing the date and time when this project was last updated.

as_dict()¶

Return the attributes for this object as a dictionary.

This is equivalent to calling:

json.loads(obj.as_json())

Returns: this object’s attributes serialized to a dictionary
Return type: dict

as_json()¶

Return the json data for this object.

This is equivalent to calling:

json.dumps(obj.as_dict())

Returns: this object’s attributes as a JSON string
Return type: str

column(id)¶

Get a project column with the given ID.

Parameters: id (int) – (required), the column ID
Returns: the desired column in the project
Return type: ProjectColumn

columns(number=- 1, etag=None)¶

Iterate over the columns in this project.

Parameters

number (int) – (optional), number of columns to return. Default: -1 returns all available columns.
etag (str) – (optional), ETag from a previous request to the same endpoint

Returns

generator of columns

Return type

ProjectColumn

create_column(name)¶

Create a column in this project.

Parameters: name (str) – (required), name of the column
Returns: the created project column
Return type: ProjectColumn

delete()¶

Delete this project.

Returns: True if successfully deleted, False otherwise
Return type: bool

classmethod from_dict(json_dict, session)¶: Return an instance of this class formed from json_dict.

classmethod from_json(json, session)¶: Return an instance of this class formed from json.

new_session()¶

Generate a new session.

Returns: A brand new session
Return type: GitHubSession

property ratelimit_remaining¶

Number of requests before GitHub imposes a ratelimit.

Returns: int

refresh(conditional: bool = False) → github3.models.GitHubCore¶

Re-retrieve the information for this object.

The reasoning for the return value is the following example:

repos = [r.refresh() for r in g.repositories_by('kennethreitz')]

Without the return value, that would be an array of None’s and you would otherwise have to do:

repos = [r for i in g.repositories_by('kennethreitz')]
[r.refresh() for r in repos]

Which is really an anti-pattern.

Changed in version 0.5.

Parameters: conditional (bool) – If True, then we will search for a stored header (‘Last-Modified’, or ‘ETag’) on the object and send that as described in the Conditional Requests section of the docs
Returns: self

update(name=None, body=None)¶

Update this project.

Parameters

name (str) – (optional), new name of the project
body (str) – (optional), new body of the project

Returns

True if successfully updated, False otherwise

Return type

bool

project_url¶: The URL used to retrieve the project that owns this column via the API.

updated_at¶: A datetime object representing the date and time when the column was last updated.

This is equivalent to calling:

json.dumps(obj.as_dict())

Returns: self

retrieve_issue_from_content()¶

Attempt to retrieve an Issue from the content url.
