Frontend Coding Challenge
The idea of this project is to implement a small client application for discovering trending repositories on GitHub.
A list of the repositories created in the last 7 days with the most number of stars in github should be displayed and the user should be able to favourite them. The favourited repositories should be visible either through a filter or in a different tab.
Some basic info about the repo should be displayed, such as: repo name, link to GitHub, description and number of stars. To keep things simple, the favourites won’t be sent back to GitHub’s servers but just stored locally (e.g localstorage, cookies etc...).
GitHub provides a public search endpoint which you can use for fetching the most starred repositories:
https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=created:>2017-01-10&sort=stars&order=desc
We value: clear, easy to understand code, use of semantic HTML, CSS naming conventions and tests. The technology you use is up to you, but we work with React so seeing this in the solution is always great as well. Have fun!
