OcZi / release-watcher

A small API to request github releases (<10 kb size).

Release Watcher

A small API to request github releases (<10 kb size).
Methods of release are inspired by python's version info.

Supports Gson as deserializer of http requests (Jackson and other libs can be adapted).

Usage

import me.oczi.release.GithubReleases;
import me.oczi.release.Release;

class MyClass {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Create the service to request releases
        GsonReleaseService service = new GsonReleaseService(
            GithubReleases.of("OcZi", "Margaret") // Build the release URL of the repository
        );
        // Wait CompletableFuture to finish
        Release[] releases = service.requestLastRelease().join();
        // Github will return it in date order
        Release lastRelease = releases[0];

        // New version found?
        if (lastRelease.isGreaterThan(0, 8)) {
            System.out.println("New version available: " + lastRelease.getVersion());
        }
    }
}
