Github Searcher
This is a web app that searches for github repos based on repo names or by user name (option is given as a select tag). It uses http://piotrmurach.github.io/github/ for Github API calls.
Running the app:
You need to have an .env file in the root directory with the following two fields:
LOGIN="<your-github-login>"
PASSWORD="<your-password>"
These fields are being used in the config/application.rb file.
We've defined constants such as PER_PAGE for pagination in a file called config/initializers/constant.rb.
Details:
All the application code involving Github API is in app/controllers/github_interface_controller.rb.
Pagination is done natively by the used gem, however some logic was involved when it came to rendering it on the page which could be seen in app/views/github_interface/index.html.erb and the helper app/helpers/application_helper.rb.
There is no database since we don't need to persist anything and so no need of running migrations.
Bootstrap is used for some styling.
Tests:
Tests can be run from the root application directory by running:
rspec
Test Coverage:
Test coverage is done using simplecov. The output of simplecov is an HTML file named index.html that goes inside coverage folder.
Currently, the coverage is 85.71%.
Testing could further be expanded to cover more cases.
