Description

• The idea of this project is to implement a backend application for discovering popular repositories on GitHub using Node/TypeScript.

Service Specification

• A list of the most popular repositories, sorted by number of stars.
• An option to view the top 10, 50, 100 repositories.
• Given a date, the most popular repositories created from this date onwards should is returned.
• A filter for the programming language.

Implementation Details

• GitHub provides a public search endpoint which you can use for fetching the most popular repositories: https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=created:>2019-01-10&sort=stars&order=desc

Test

$ npm test

Start app

$ docker-compose up -d

Make a post request to:

http://localhost:8080/api/v1/repositories

Example payload:

{
	"date": "2019-01-10",
	"language": "Rust",
	"perPage": 50
}

Language and per_page are optional. In this case pagination defaults to 10.
