Same as issues/discussions for a repo but for a user only

[andry81]

📋 Description

Add links of number of issues/discussions just for a user only.

🔗 Data

issues by user: https://github.com/issues?q=author%3Aandry81+sort%3Aupdated-desc+
discussions by user: https://github.com/discussions?q=author%3Aandry81+sort%3Aupdated-desc+

Both links need a login.

🎤 Motivation

Put it as a statistic in the main page readme file: user/user

If someone is interested in working on this, the GraphQL queries for this would be

{
  user(login: "andry81") {
    issues {
      totalCount
    }
  }
}

{
  user(login: "andry81") {
    repositoryDiscussions {
      totalCount
    }
  }
}

I wanted to add this and i first looked for a shield to add it to before creating something new.
While searching i noticed you can already create this shield using the git-hub-issue-custom-search shield:
Example of issues by abdry81:
Using this url: https://img.shields.io/github/issues-search?query=author%3Aandry81&label=issues%20by%20andry81
I used the link you provided and counted the issues, and the numbers fit (181 issues opened by andry81 to date)

@andry81 Please let me know if this solves the first issue for displaying user created issues or you still want us to discuss adding a new shield/option?

Regarding discussions across repositories I could not find a way to implement this with existing shields. I think it would be best to add this in a new shield.
@chris48s I think that instead of creating a specific shield for all discussions by author it will be much better to add a non-repo specific discussion custom search.

I could for example use the search query with discussion as search type for this type of shield similar to issues costume search

query ($query: String!) {
  search(query: $query, type: DISCUSSION) {
    discussionCount
  }
 }

Please provide me with feedback what would better fit the project so i could implement the solution.

Well here is a quick preview

Created the discussion badge you you wanted in my new branch using:
http://localhost:8080/github/discussions-search?query=author%3Aandry81&label=discussions%20by%20andry81

[jNullj]

I ended up adding this, i think that its good to have regardless of the original issue.
I could implement a new service from the BaseGithubDiscussionsSearch if you think there is an advantage of making a specific user discussion count more accessible. But using this new service you can create the desired badge and many others.

[andry81]

@jNullj Thanks for the effort! One more thing here is that the issues and discussions is not reachable from a not logged in page. May be add a second icon to indicate that the badge url requires the GitHub login? Or may be add a second line of text like _{login required}?

[jNullj]

do you refer to GitHub API token? I just tested and you are right, i could not make requests without one altho the API should have a small rate limit for calls without a token.
Do you have an example of such message or should i get creative?

[andry81]

I've meant the simple url in the readme file: https://github.com/issues?q=author%3Aandry81+sort%3Aupdated-desc+

[jNullj]

Not sure what readme file you refer to, i never added those urls in my pull request and I don't see why they should be added.
Also you can access the same information without a login using those links:

• for issues: https://github.com/search?q=author%3Aandry81&type=issues&s=created&o=desc
• for discussions: https://github.com/search?q=author%3Aandry81&type=discussions&s=created&o=desc

@jNullj Thank you! This is what I was looking for.

[andry81]

It would be useful if add a badge for the commits too: https://github.com/search?q=author%3Aandry81&type=commits&s=author-date&o=desc

[jNullj]

I can add this in a seperate PR as a new service for 'commit custom search'. But lets wait to see what the maintainers think about the changes i added so far and those changes as well. I want to avoid making too much changes without knowing they will not get rejected.

I can add this with the an REST api call, the GraphQL does not support commit search (yet?).
Please reopen this issue or make another one so we can track this, just to make sure i understand what you are asking for, you want a badge that will show total commit across all repositories by you?
Take into account the api has some limitations regarding the maximum number of repositories it will search.
