Feature Request/Bug: Repository limit is 100

[BaseMax]

Hi Khushbu,

I have about 300 public repository. But your app only receives 100 of them.
Because GitHub web services only give 100.
But you have to scan page by page.

• https://api.github.com/users/BaseMax/repos?page=1&per_page=100&sort=updated
• https://api.github.com/users/BaseMax/repos?page=2&per_page=100&sort=updated
• ...

Take a look at this example:

Max

Hi Max,
I knew about this (from the GitHub documentation) when I started working on GitZilla.
But I took it lightly as I didn't know GitZilla will get such an amazing response from the dev community.
Also, another reason is fetching all the repositories at a time will increase the loading time which will not result in good user experience. Hence I thought to just limit to single page.

This is my current code in src/components/User.jsx -

Thanks for finding out this issue and reminding me again and giving an example.
I will look into it and fix this very soon.
I am thinking of something like fetching 100 repositories first and show them first and then fetching more as the user scrolls down. This will decrease the loading time.

But I am not very sure. As I don't know much about pagination and fetching. I am a beginner in react and working with API too.

Please suggest your views on this.

Thank you.

Self-assigning myself for this issue.

A good quick way to fix this would be adding a button for more, which is rendered only when the user's user.public_repos > page_number * 100.

Here, page_number, initially 1 is the current page number.

A simple fetch request can be made, and the data can be appended to the repos state.

Glad to see your suggestion but I already started working on this issue. It will be fixed soon.
Thank you! 😄
