How does it work?

• Put a search query for GitHub Repositories

• Fetch GitHub Repo URLs through API call to NPM

• Collect all the comments, download count, stars count, fork count from GitHub API

• Perform Sentiment Analysis on Comments

• Suggest best available repository for given search term on Slack

Set the following environment variables before you run this collection :

• searchTerm : the query you want to search say css minifier etc.
• maxSize : maximum number of repositories you want to fetch say 20.

It sends the popular repository on Slack channel using webhook.

This collection uses Github API to fetch comments and sends a report to an internal Slack channel using a webhook.
