GitHub User Search App – Day 3

 

What I Worked On

Today I continued working on the GitHub User Search App and successfully completed the entire project! 🎉
This includes designing the layout, integrating the API, and even implementing the dark mode toggle.

Tasks Completed:

  • Connected the GitHub Users API using fetch() in JavaScript

  • Displayed real-time user data including:

    • Profile picture, username, join date, bio

    • Repo count, followers, following

    • Location, blog, Twitter, and company info

  • Styled the layout using CSS for a clean and responsive UI

  • Implemented dark mode toggle with a smooth switch

  • Handled invalid usernames with a “User not found” message

  • Polished the UI for desktop and mobile views

What I Learned

  • How to fetch data from APIs and display it dynamically on the page

  • How to update the DOM with user-provided input

  • Improved my CSS styling and layout structuring using Flexbox

  • Gained clarity on how to handle different data cases from APIs

  • Understood better error handling and conditional rendering in JS

 Challenges Faced

  • Faced some confusion while extracting and displaying all fields from the API response.

  • Referred to ChatGPT and MDN Docs to overcome blocks

 Gracias

Grateful for this mini project! It helped me connect all the dots — from HTML structure, CSS design, to JavaScript logic.
