Your task is to generate an HTML page that lists commits and shows some information from a public repository from Github.
Using the Github API (https://developer.github.com/v3/), choose a public repository, perhaps from you favorite library and generate an HTML page with the following information:
- Repository's full name ({owner}/{repo} e.g. avidity/some-repo) and description
- List of recent commits including author's name and email as well as commit SHA, date and message
Requests to the API must use authentication (even though for public repositories it's not required by Github).
We are not too fuzzy about the layout or design of the generated HTML page, but the HTML itself should be well-formatted.
Your solution should highlight your programming abilities.
You should supply instructions on how to install and run your project.
This is what I used to solve this test:
- Python-Flask in the backend;
- Python requests for http requests in flask
- To builtify the page, I used Bulmacss framework https://bulma.io/
The project follows this structure:
.
├── app
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── static
│ │ ├── css
│ │ │ ├── bulma.min.css
│ │ │ └── style.css
│ │ └── js
│ │ └── main.js
│ ├── templates
│ │ └── index.html
│ └── user.py
├── LICENSE
├── README.md
└── requirements.txt
5 directories, 9 files
This project use a factory pattern for flask apps.
It use a flask blueprints to isolate your routes.
Step one, install from requirements file
pip install -r requirements.txt
Step two, export flask vars
export FLASK_APP=app
export TOKEN_API=" a valid token"
Step three, run the app
flask run app
Now the app are running in http://127.0.0.1:5000
