Label Sync: Streamline Your Workflow with Consistent Labels

Label synchronization, commonly known as `label-sync`, is an effective way to manage labels across multiple repositories. Consistent labeling helps maintain clear communication and improves project management. In this guide, we introduce the functionalities of `label-sync` and provide various API explanations with code snippets to help you integrate it into your projects.

Introduction to Label Sync

`label-sync` is a tool that ensures your repository labels are consistent. This is incredibly helpful when you have multiple repositories and want to enforce a standardized labeling scheme.

Useful API Examples

Below are some of the most useful API methods provided by `label-sync`, along with code snippets to demonstrate their usage:

1. Fetching All Labels

 const labels = await labelSync.getLabels(); console.log(labels); 

This method fetches all labels available in your repositories, making it easier to monitor and manage them.

2. Creating a New Label

 const newLabel = {
  name: 'bug',
  color: 'f29513',
  description: 'Something isn't working'
}; await labelSync.createLabel(newLabel); console.log('Label created successfully!'); 

You can create a new label with a custom name, color, and description using this API method.

3. Updating an Existing Label

 const updatedLabel = {
  name: 'bug',
  new_name: 'issue',
  color: 'd73a4a',
  description: 'An issue that needs to be resolved'
}; await labelSync.updateLabel(updatedLabel); console.log('Label updated successfully!'); 

This method allows you to update the properties of an existing label.

4. Deleting a Label

 await labelSync.deleteLabel('bug'); console.log('Label deleted successfully!'); 

You can delete a label using its name with this API method.

App Example

Below is a practical example of how to create a small app that uses `label-sync` APIs to manage labels:

 const labelSync = require('label-sync');
async function manageLabels() {
  try {
    const labels = await labelSync.getLabels();
    console.log('Existing Labels:', labels);

    const newLabel = {
      name: 'enhancement',
      color: 'a2eeef',
      description: 'New feature or request'
    };
    await labelSync.createLabel(newLabel);
    console.log('New Label Created');

    const updatedLabel = {
      name: 'enhancement',
      new_name: 'feature',
      color: '84b6eb',
      description: 'Planned feature'
    };
    await labelSync.updateLabel(updatedLabel);
    console.log('Label Updated');

    await labelSync.deleteLabel('bug');
    console.log('Label Deleted');
    
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error managing labels:', error);
  }
}
manageLabels(); 

This application fetches existing labels, creates a new label, updates an existing label, and deletes a label, demonstrating the core functionalities of `label-sync`.

By following these guidelines and coding practices, you can effectively manage your repository labels, ensuring consistency and clarity in your project management workflow.
