CreateNewProvider.md

Resources available in a provider class

this.headers - The headers of the request (Reference)
this.body - only the body of the request object
this.payload - a DiscordPayload
this.logger - a winston logger.

Example for providers without multiple methods

import { BaseProvider } from '../provider/BaseProvider'

class NewProvider extends BaseProvider {
    static getName() {
        return "{providerName}"
    }
    
    async parseData() {
        //do your stuff here and add things to this.payload
    }
}

export { NewProvider }

Example for providers with multiple methods

import { BaseProvider } from '../provider/BaseProvider'

class NewProvider extends BaseProvider {
    constructor() {
        super()
        //do some stuff that should be available on all sub methods (e.g. setting the discord embed color)
    }
    
    public static getName() {
        return "{providerName}"
    }

    public getType() {
        //return the method that is used for this request.
        //e.g. for GitLab we returning `this.body.object_kind`  
        //if this.body.object_kind would be merge_request it would execute the sub method mergeRequest in this class here.
        return {providerType};
    }

    //every type will be formated as camelCase
    //e.g. merge_request will be mergeRequest
    public async {typeName}() {
        //do your stuff here and add things to this.payload
    }
}

export { NewProvider }
