authorize with github like at prose.io about github HOT 8 CLOSED

just following up I switched to oauth, and tried just showing a user

user.show('mtc2013', function(err, user) {});

I get "Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function" on line 32 of gtihub.js

from github.

@tansaku duplicate of #49?

I did see that and I tried switching to var xhr = new window.XMLHttpRequest() and the error goes away, but now I just get undefined:

var user = github.getUser();
var gist = github.getGist(5534034);
user.show('mtc2013', function(err, user) {
  alert(user);
});
gist.read(function(err, gist) {
  alert(gist);
});

the pop ups just say undefined ... :-(

ah, I had them wrapped in a jquery $(function() {} have moved them out and now it's working - sorry to have bothered you. BTW, I would love to know if I can support that "authorise with github" button with just github.js or if I need to pull stuff in from prose.io. Github.js seems to be designed to work with a hardcoded particular user - I'd really like users of my system to be able to authenticate against their own accounts rather than using mine ...

@tansaku, You will probably need more than just github.js. Do you have your own application set up on GitHub to authenticate with the GitHub API? You may want to take a look at GateKeeper (written for prose.io, I think). I'm using it with a combination of github.js and some custom code to let users authorize with their GitHub accounts for a chrome extension. You can checkout my blog post for more details.

You can authenticate with github.js using basic auth (username & password combos, easy to use but insecure really) or auth tokens - either Authorised App Tokens (based on client/secrets) or Personal Access Tokens (set up using the web UI).

More info on creating a token here:
https://help.github.com/articles/creating-an-access-token-for-command-line-use
and creating them during web app flow/on the fly here:
http://developer.github.com/v3/oauth/

Hope that helps.

In order to use OAuth, you probably want to integrate this little server piece.

Oh this was already mentioned... anyways.
