Projects

Showcase All Your Projects 🛍️🎇

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, used my portfolio's project section as inspiration.

Getting Projects

To get projects, follow these steps:

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

Setup Your Own Projects

You can easily set up projects to show your own repos.

• Fork the repo
• Clone it
• 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 username.
• You may also want to update the favicon too, update the link tag in index.html
• Push your changes
• Go to repo settings on GitHub and enable GitHub Pages.

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

Here's the projects page for @sindresorhus

Number Of Repos

The number of repos is controlled by 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 are shown on the same page.

Forked Repos

Forked repos are hidden by default, to show them set hideForks = true 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 configs. Edit the variables under :root in styles.css to modify colorscheme.

Programming Language Icons

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

Viewing projects

Open index.html in your favorite browser or visit 2kabhishek.github.io/projects.

How it was built

Projects was built using HTML CSS & JavaScript. It was built on Neovim and the python http server. Uses GitHub API for data and Devicons for programming icons.

What I learned

• Learned about a few quirks of the fetch API, especially implementation of maxPages.
• Flex, box-shadow and some other CSS tricks were revisited.
