I agree with what the team said about exporting. That said, if you’re looking specifically to push you rich text documents to github, here’s a script that does so which can be used as part of an automation (I have a button that uses this to push the current version of a file to github). It assumes that your entity has a text field called “Github SHA”. One kind of annoying thing is that it names the file according to the entity id, but it’s workable:
// Developer reference is at api.fibery.io/#action-buttons
var chars = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/=';
function InvalidCharacterError(message) {
this.message = message;
}
InvalidCharacterError.prototype = new Error();
InvalidCharacterError.prototype.name = 'InvalidCharacterError';
// encoder
// [https://gist.github.com/999166] by [https://github.com/nignag]
function btoa(input) {
var str = String(input);
for (
// initialize result and counter
var block, charCode, idx = 0, map = chars, output = '';
// if the next str index does not exist:
// change the mapping table to "="
// check if d has no fractional digits
str.charAt(idx | 0) || (map = '=', idx % 1);
// "8 - idx % 1 * 8" generates the sequence 2, 4, 6, 8
output += map.charAt(63 & block >> 8 - idx % 1 * 8)
) {
charCode = str.charCodeAt(idx += 3 / 4);
if (charCode > 0xFF) {
throw new InvalidCharacterError("'btoa' failed: The string to be encoded contains characters outside of the Latin1 range.");
}
block = block << 8 | charCode;
}
return output;
}
// Fibery API is used to retrieve and update entities
const fibery = context.getService('fibery');
// HTTP allows to send requests to external services
const http = context.getService('http');
// affected entities are stored in args.currentEntities;
// to support batch actions they always come in an array
for (const entity of args.currentEntities) {
var desc = await fibery.getDocumentContent(entity.Description.Secret);
var url = "https://api.github.com/repos/[your username here]/[your repo name here]/contents/" + entity["Id"] + ".md"
var response = await http.putAsync(url, {
body: {
message: "Update " + entity.Name,
content: btoa(desc),
sha: entity["Github SHA"]
},
headers: {
'Accept': 'application/vnd.github.v3+json',
'Authorization': 'token [github token here]',
'User-Agent': '[github username here]'
}
});
console.log(response);
// to update an entity provide an object with the new values
await fibery.updateEntity(entity.type, entity.id, {
'Github SHA': response["content"]["sha"]
});
}
You can also pull the current version of the file from github using this script:
var chars = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/=';
function InvalidCharacterError(message) {
this.message = message;
}
InvalidCharacterError.prototype = new Error();
InvalidCharacterError.prototype.name = 'InvalidCharacterError';
// encoder

function btoa(input) {
var str = String(input);
for (
// initialize result and counter
var block, charCode, idx = 0, map = chars, output = '';
// if the next str index does not exist:
// change the mapping table to "="
// check if d has no fractional digits
str.charAt(idx | 0) || (map = '=', idx % 1);
// "8 - idx % 1 * 8" generates the sequence 2, 4, 6, 8
output += map.charAt(63 & block >> 8 - idx % 1 * 8)
) {
charCode = str.charCodeAt(idx += 3 / 4);
if (charCode > 0xFF) {
throw new InvalidCharacterError("'btoa' failed: The string to be encoded contains characters outside of the Latin1 range.");
}
block = block << 8 | charCode;
}
return output;
}
// decoder
// [https://gist.github.com/1020396] by [https://github.com/atk]
function atob(input) {
var str = (String(input)).replace(/[=]+$/, ''); // #31: ExtendScript bad parse of /=
if (str.length % 4 === 1) {
throw new InvalidCharacterError("'atob' failed: The string to be decoded is not correctly encoded.");
}
for (
// initialize result and counters
var bc = 0, bs, buffer, idx = 0, output = '';
// get next character
buffer = str.charAt(idx++); // eslint-disable-line no-cond-assign
// character found in table? initialize bit storage and add its ascii value;
~buffer && (bs = bc % 4 ? bs * 64 + buffer : buffer,
// and if not first of each 4 characters,
// convert the first 8 bits to one ascii character
bc++ % 4) ? output += String.fromCharCode(255 & bs >> (-2 * bc & 6)) : 0
) {
// try to find character in table (0-63, not found => -1)
buffer = chars.indexOf(buffer);
}
return output;
}
function atob_newlines(input) {
var lines = String(input).split("\n");
var result = "";
console.log(lines);
for (var i = 0; i < lines.length; i++) {
console.log(lines[i]);
result += atob(lines[i]);
}
return result;
