Initialise a SelectorTB object — init

Creates a SelectorTB object for specifying data sources (GitHub, GitLab, or local). The selector can be used to fetch issues from different sources.

init_selector(source = NULL, ...)

Arguments

source

a character string that is either:

"GitHub" if you want to fetch information from GitHub
"GitLab" if you want to fetch information from GitLab
or "local" if you want to fetch information locally.

...

Additional arguments specific to the source type:

For GitHub: owner, repo
For GitLab: project_id
For local: dataset_name, dataset_dir

Value

A SelectorTB object configured for the specified source.

Details

SelectorTB objects define data sources for retrieving issues from GitHub, GitLab, or local YAML files. They allow combining multiple sources into a single query using merge_selector().

See the corresponding vignettes: https://tanguybarthelemy.github.io/IssueTrackeR/articles/selectors.html to have more information about selectors. Also see vignette("selectors")

Examples

# GitHub selector for a specific repository
gh_sel <- init_selector(
    source = "GitHub",
    owner = "TanguyBarthelemy",
    repo = "IssueTrackeR"
)

# GitLab selector for multiple projects
gl_sel <- init_selector(source = "GitLab", project_id = c(4578, 2384))

# Local selector for a dataset
local_sel <- init_selector(
    source = "local",
    dataset_name = "my_dataset",
    dataset_dir = "/path/to/data"
)
