releases

A simple web-page/api resource that allows you to display the latest releases to your users and allow them to download them. It is riented to work with and support private github repositories.

Instructions

Local development

git clone
npm install
Create a local config file based off of the config.dest.json via cp config.dest.json config.json
Edit it to reflect your needs
Run in develop mode to test it out locally GITHUB_TOKEN=... npm run dev

Deployment (using now)

now --prod -e GITHUB_TOKEN=...

Additional options

CACHE_DELAY=900000 - cache time for the specific release
MAXIMUM_RELEASES=25 - how many releases should be pulled from gihtub and displayed on All releases page
PRE_RELEASES=true - do you want to display only pre-releases or stable releases (false by default)

Ability to fetch a release directly by matched keywords:

/api/fetch/[owner]/[repo]/[platform]/[keyword]/[version]

Examples:

/api/fetch/inlife/releases/win/serv/latest
/api/fetch/inlife/nexrender/lin/worker/1.23.2

Information

By default all releases are cached for 15 minutes. To bust cache (for example right after the release) you can call GET /api?cache=bust

The overall idea and design elements are based off the ZEIT's Hazel, props to them for making such a cool tool.
