Details

This function is intended for easy information retrieval about rOpenGov package issues and pull requests. More specifically, this function returns a tibble containing information on issue id, title, status (open or closed), number of comments, who opened it, when it was created, what was the openers status (rOpenGov organization member, package contributor or a regular user who opened e.g. a bug issue) and what is the type of the issue.

GitHub Issues API handles Pull Requests and Issues similarly and therefore this function returns both types by default. Different types of issues can be filtered by using the issue.type parameter.

Kudos for this function go to Jennifer Bryan. The changes made here are mostly related to adding additional fields (opener_type, issue_type) to the output tibble and writing a function around these original contributions. The scope of this function is to mainly help rOpenGov team analyze the type of user feedback we get via GitHub issues and therefore the scope of this function is very limited.

Value
