hashnode-vala

This is questionable... I'm not sure how to use the Hashnode API. We just threw code at the wall until something stuck.

Unofficial Hashnode API client library for Vala. Still a work in progress.

Compilation

I recommend including hashnode-vala as a git submodule and adding hashnode-vala/src/Hashnode.vala to your sources list. This will avoid packaging conflicts and remote build system issues until I learn a better way to suggest this.

For libsoup3, use hashnode-vala/src/Hashnode3.vala.

Requirements

meson
ninja-build
valac

Building

meson build
cd build
meson configure -Denable_examples=true
ninja
./examples/hello-hashnode

Examples require update to publication id and Personal Access Token, don't check this in

string publication_id = "publication id";
string key = "personal-access-token";

Quick Start

New Login

string publication_id = "publication-id";
string key = "personal-access-token";

Hashnode.Client client = new Hashnode.Client ();
if (client.authenticate (
        publication_id,
        key))
{
    print ("Successfully logged in");
} else {
    print ("Could not login");
}

Publish a Post

string url;
string id;
if (client.publish_post (
    out url,
    out id,
    "# Hello Hashnode!

Hello from [ThiefMD](https://thiefmd.com)!",
    "Hello Hashnode!"))
{
    print ("Made post: %s", url);
}

Get Accessible Publications

GLib.List<Hashnode.PublicationResponse> publications = new GLib.List<Hashnode.PublicationResponse> ();
if (client.get_user_publications (ref publications)) {
    foreach (var publication in publications) {
        print ("Publication: %s (%s)\n", publication.title, publication.hashnodeId);
    }
}

Publish to a Specific Publication

string url;
string id;
if (client.publish_publication_post (
    out url,
    out id,
    "publication-id",
    "# Hello Hashnode!\n\nHello from [ThiefMD](https://thiefmd.com)!",
    "Hello Hashnode!"))
{
    print ("Made post: %s", url);
}
