Fetch data from an API, store that data in a database, and display it on your app's index page. Frontend is built with React, and backend is built with express and mongo.

by Peter X. Tan

High Level Goals

Build an app that takes data from GitHub's API and stores it in your database.

• When a user types in a –GitHub username– and submits the form, your app should:
  • Send a post requrest to your express server
  • Your server should GET that user's repos from GitHub's API
  • Your server should then sae the repos to the database
• When a user visits / refreshes your page, your app should:
  • GET the top (how will you determine top?) 25 repos in your express erver's database
  • Take those repos and display them on the page

• Node
• Mongo
