Bridge School Personal Project

Deployed at https://github-fetcher.netlify.app/

Due Date

Due by 9am on February 12th

Requirements

• Create a login page: a user landing on the page should be able to input a username and submit it.

• Once the user has logged in, they should be able to see the most recent repositories (repos) that use has forked and their most recent pull requests.

• Each of the forked repos should display the name of that repo as a link, and link to the base repo.

• Each of the pull requests should display the title of the pull request as a link, and link to that pull request.

• Each of the pull requests should have, in addition, a visual indicator for whether it is open, closed or merged. This could be colour coded, or just have the status in words next to it.

Data Source

Your data source is the Github API! You'll be using the events and pull-request endpoints. Using the Github API display:

• the most recent repositories a given user has forked
• the most recent pull requests a user has created

The events endpoint will return all the most recent events (or actions) a user has completed. Everything from opening a pull request to forking a repo to starring a repo. All the different types of events are clarified by a type property. E.g. ForkEvent and PullRequestEvent which you can use to get the info you need. The pull request endpoint will give you the information you need to find out the status of a given pull request (whether its open, closed or merged)

EXAMPLES https://api.github.com/users/pkanal/events https://api.github.com/repos/bridge-school/bridgeschool.io/pulls/39

Go to those URLs in your browser to have a look at the JSON response. Its a good idea to copy these as example responses into a file in case you hit the rate limit of the API and that way you can keep on developing.

To view these responses in a nice format, install a chrome extension that helps you view JSON, e.g. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/json-formatter/bcjindcccaagfpapjjmafapmmgkkhgoa?hl=en

Technical requirements

React and Redux, of course! You should use create-react-app, a convenient way to bootstrap React apps. You'll also want to install dev-tools browser extensions for React and Redux.

You can refer to the finished version of a similar Github app here to get started: https://github.com/melaniebrgr/github-app-with-redux-after/tree/final-20180927-1304.

Instructions

1. Fork this repository to your own github
2. Clone the forked version of this repository to your computer
3. Set up create react app and make an initial commit to the master branch of your repo

Part One Complete the requirements outlined above using only React (no Redux) and push it up to the master branch of your repo

Part Two Create a new branch called redux-solution and port your React only solution to use Redux. Only complete part two after you have finished part one.

Submissions Once you have completed your personal project we'll provide a Google form for you to submit the link to your repo.
