Code challenge application

redox-code-challenge

This application fetches all pull requests (open & closed) from the lodash respository, and stores all of them in local server memory. It does not schedule updates to be pulled from the repo, so the stored PRs reflect what's current at the time of server startup.

This route will fetch all of the PRs - http://jlim.site/fetchAllPullRequests

Github has an endpoint to fetch PRs, but for a large list it is paginated and limited to 100 results per. The source code here just concats the queries until there is none left - https://github.com/jeongl/redox-code-challenge/blob/master/src/api/githubApi.js

The front end is fairly simple with a filter to show closed or open PRs.

Stuff used to make this:

• react
• recompose - HOC helpers for react.
• lodash
• express
• JSON-tree - To display the PR list in json format, with interactivity.

Usage instructions (local)

1. Clone the repo, run yarn to install all the packages.
2. Create a .env file with your github credentials and store it in the root of the project. This will be used to call the github API using your account details. Here a reference to the section of code - https://github.com/jeongl/redox-code-challenge/blob/master/src/api/githubApi.js#L15

• An example .env looks like this:

  USERNAME=jeongl
  PASSWORD=ssshhhh

3. Start the server by running yarn start-server. This will start the server, pull PRs from lodash and store it in memory.
4. Start the front end application by running yarn start. After webpack builds the bundle visit localhost:8080
