Javascript Developer coding challenge

Using the assets provided, your task is to build a simple web application that shows a list of GitHub profiles.

Please, read all sections within this document carefully.

Points marked as optional are entirely up to you. They will give you the chance to shine within the selection process but they are not required.

With the "Guidelines" section in mind, you should complete at least the following required features.

Required features

• Avoid to use ANY external libraries for components

• Develop the “Add/Remove to Favorites” action which works client-side only

• The number of saved profiles in the header must be updated with the favorite profiles count

• Make the application responsive and with a modern design, in your own taste ( CSS )

• Initially the page must load only 6 profiles. Find the best way to browse the full list from the server and show more profiles

• Provide a solution to show only the saved profiles

• Show a search text input to filter the profiles by username

• [optional] Use of Typescript

• [optional] Use of Redux Toolkit

• [optional] Use of CSS preprocessors or Tailwind CSS

Guidelines

You're free to use the framework of your choice (Vuejs, Reactjs, Angularjs...) or just 'ol plain Vanilla JS. Also, you can start with a boilerplate if you want.

You must use the given API to retrieve a list of profiles and you can choose any API client to work with. You must provide the instructions to let us run the application.

If not specified in the design, it’s up to you to decide what’s best.

API docs

At this page you can find GitHub's "Getting started with the REST API" guide, with plenty of code snippets and JS examples ready to use. Please avoid using the Octocat JS library.

As you can read in the linked doc, GitHub's API requires authentication. You must own a GitHub account to complete this challenge.

AUTH TOKEN Creation: TL;DR Version

Go to your profile's settings page. On the left menu, click on the last entry, which should be Developer settings. On the left menu, click on Personal Access Token and then on Fine-grained tokens. On the top right, click on Generate new token. Give the token a name by filling in the required Token name field. You can leave all the remaining fields with the default values.
