Assessment

The React assignment should take you less than 2 hours to complete. If you go over, please stop.

Overview

Build a React + TypeScript application utilizing the GitHub API to show data related to a given user.

Requirements

Use Create React App or Next.js to avoid wasting time on configuration.

The app only has one page /. Hence, no routing required.

The app fetches the results from this API call (https://api.github.com/users/[your-github-username]) with any GitHub username.

Example: https://api.github.com/users/paulzakin

The user enters the username in a search bar to fetch the result.

  • The match should be an exact, lowercase match
  • If no match is found, run window.alert("No match found!")

After the successful match has been fetched, present the following on the page:

  • Name
  • Bio
  • Username
  • Email
  • Avatar (Through Avatar URL).

The app should look reasonably nice and be mobile responsive. Don't use a CSS framework.
