Find a GitHub user's favourite language.

Lang-o-Tron

An app to find a GitHub user's favourite language.

Requirements

• Ruby 2.4.1

Setup

1. Create the database: rake db:create db:schema:load
2. Create environment variables for your GitHub API credentials (GITHUB_CLIENT_ID and GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET)
3. Start the server: bin/rails s

Testing

We're using MiniTest, with VCR to mock calls to the GitHub API.

1. Run the tests: bin/rails test

TODO

• Implement error handling:
  • The GitHub user isn't found
  • They don't have any repositories
  • The connection to the API fails
• Paginate the accounts listing
• Make accounts stale after a given time so that, when queried, their favourite language is recalculated with a new call to the API
• Present more data about an account's language preferences - perhaps a pie chart showing all the languages they use

Done

• Add some basic styling to the front end
