Feature

Overview

A button to commit the config file to Github. With a CD from the Netlify or other hosting platform, automatically trigger a rebuild, so your Dashy stay up to date.
It's a PoC has I have to manually add those variables directly in the code.
If the PoC is validated, I could Integrate the OAuth2 workflow directly in Dashy.

const accessToken = '<YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>';
const repoName = 'Musubi42/dashy-commit-config-from-ui';  // Change by your repo name
const filePath = 'public/conf.yml';  // Change by config file you want to update

How to generate an access token

Step 1: Register a New GitHub OAuth Application

1. Go to GitHub Settings: Log into your GitHub account, navigate to your settings.
2. Register a New OAuth App: Go to "Developer settings" → "OAuth Apps" → "New OAuth App".
3. Fill in the Application Details:
   • Application Name: Choose a name for your application.
   • Homepage URL: You can use a placeholder, it doesn't matter for the PoC purpose.
   • Application Description: Optional.
   • Authorization Callback URL: This is where you will be sent after successful authentication. For local testing, use http://localhost.
4. Register Application: Click the "Register application" button.
5. Note Client ID and Secret: Once registered, you'll be provided with a client ID and client secret. Keep these confidential.

Step 2: Get your access token

1. Complete this URL to get the code for the OAuth2 process.
   Paste this URL to any browser, follow the instruction.
   The repo scope allows your app to access private repositories. If you only need access to public repositories, use public_repo.

https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&scope=repo

Once you have completed it, from the URL you should get the code

http://localhost/?code=<YOUR_CODE>

2. Exchange Code for an Access Token: Make a POST request to

https://github.com/login/oauth/access_token

with the following parameters:

• client_id: Your app's client ID.
• client_secret: Your app's client secret.
• code: The code you get from the previous URL

Receive the Access Token: GitHub responds with the access token, which you can use to authenticate API requests.

Has it is a proposition, I have replaced the button "Save to Disk", by "Commit to Github"
