Readme
Import your TypeScript and JavaScript to Val Town
This function requires two keys: one from Github to get your gists, and one from Val Town to make the vals in your account:
- Github token: https://github.com/settings/tokens
- Val Town key: https://www.val.town/settings/api
You can use this function by calling it and passing your keys like so:
@maas.importGists({
githubToken: @me.secrets.githubGists,
valTownKey: @me.secrets.valtown,
});
Example usage: https://www.val.town/v/maas.untitled_harlequinCrawdad
