Introducing Projects

Present all your projects in style with a super customizable web app! ✨

Projects uses the GitHub API to list all your GitHub projects in a nice searchable grid. Also shows pretty programming icons using devicons.

Inspiration

Needed a way to display all my projects, that should auto update from GitHub

Getting Projects

To get projects, follow these steps:

git clone https://github.com/2kabhishek/projects
cd projects

Setup Your Own Projects

You can set up projects for yourself by following these steps:

• Fork the repo: https://github.com/2kabhishek/projects
• Clone it locally / Open it in GitHub Codespaces
• Open up script.js and update the username variable to your GitHub username.
• Open up index.html and update the title tag to make it your own.
• You may also want to update the favicon by updating the link tag in index.html
• Commit and push your changes
• Go to repo settings on GitHub, under Pages enable GitHub Pages.
  • Choose 'Deploy from a branch' with the main branch and / as the root directory.
• Done!

The site should be live on https://<your-username>.github.io/projects

Number Of Repos

The number of repos shown changes with the maxPages variable, the GitHub API supports 100 repos per page max. If you have less than 100 repos, set maxPages to 1, if you have 300 then 3.

You can also edit the fetch query to reduce the per page repo count.

There's no pagination, all repos show up on the same page.

Forked Repos

To show forked repos set hideForks = false in script.js

Authenticated Requests

If you are working locally and notice the API is not sending over data, it might be because of rate limit on GitHub API requests.

You can either wait for an hour or setup a personal access token on GitHub and pass that into the fetch request in script.js

Themes

Comes with a dark and light theme by default, depends upon your system and browser settings.

Edit the variables under :root in styles.css to change color scheme.

Programming Language Icons

This project uses Devicon for adding language icons, if the language name and icon are not displayed, for any of your repos, update devicons mapping in script.js.

How it was built

I built Projects using HTML CSS JavaScript and Neovim

What I learned

• Learned about some quirks of the fetch API, during implementation of maxPages.
• Revisited Flex, box-shadow and some other CSS tricks
