getting gist from github in an archive

index.js

var request = require('request')
	, express = require('express')
	, app = express.createServer().listen(8000)
	, slides = []
	, data = ''
	, zip = require("node-native-zip")
	;

app.get('/', function(req, res){
	// what needs to be done: fetch files from github, concatenate, arhive and send to user 
	// issues: i have no idea how many files I have to fetch, could be 1 could be 20 

request.get({url:'https://api.github.com/users/piatra/gists', json:true}, function (error, response, body) {
		if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
			for (var i = 0; i < body.length; i++) {

				if(body[i].description === 'reveal.js') {
					var files = body[i].files;
					for(var prop in files) {
						// could not parse object in any other way
						if(files.hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
							request(files[prop].raw_url, function(err, response, body){
								// problems with closures
								// files[prop].filename always the same file
								slides.push({
									name : parseInt(files[prop].filename),
									content: body
								})
								
							})
						}
					}
				}
			}

			//concatenate all files in a large one called _data_
			//zip it and send it to the user

			// var archive = new zip();
			// archive.add('slides.html', new Buffer(data, "utf8"));
			// var buffer = archive.toBuffer();
			// res.attachment('hello.zip')
			// res.send(buffer)

		}
});

})

Sorry for the late response, I just saw your twitter message now. Take a look at this: http://cjohansen.no/talks/2012/sdc-functional/#68

Apart from that you just need to gzip the resulting file.

P.S. Send me an email next time so I get your msg right away.
