React GitHub GraphQL Search

This project was based on Building a GraphQL Project with React.js by Ray Villalobos.

Key differences:

• Converted to TypeScript
• Added debouncing to ensure we don't fire off too many requests
• Added db.js.example to make setup easier
• Consolidated a bunch of the search configuration options into a single state variable to pass around/validate

Setup

1. Generate a personal access token to be able to make API requests to Github's GraphQL.

Permissions should be read-only:

• repo (all of them)
• user (all of them)

2. Copy db.js.example to ./src/config/db.ts

cp ./db.js.example ./src/config/db.ts

3. Adjust ./src/db.js to use your auth token where it has the placeholder <github_auth_token>

4. Start it up

npm start
