Hacktoberfest Checker

:warning: Thanks for the memories, but it’s time to sunset this little app, you can read more here: https://jenko.me/hacktoberfest/2022/11/21/hacktoberfest-checking-out

Useful checker web app to see how close you are to achieving the requirements for a free t-shirt as part of Hacktoberfest.

2022!

Well I’ve had next to no time to do anything really other than a very light (and probably broken) re-skin. As far as I’m aware nothing has changed in terms of rules this year, so only a re-skin that was required (if there are new rules, feel free to submit a PR - it’ll count towards your total!)

Doesn’t DigitalOcean have their progress checker now?

They do! However, I still think it’s worth having a checker that doesn’t require auth and allows you to check on your mates (or celebrity developers!).

Happy hacking!

Requirements

• Node LTS (v10/12/14)

  Recommended to use NVM

Running the app

• Generate a GitHub personal access token to ensure you don’t get rate limited as often.

• Generate a Gitlab personal access token to ensure gitlab is supported.

• Create a .env file using .env.example as an example. Or export the GitHub/Gitlab token as an environment variable for Node.js to use:

  • Mac/Linux: export GITHUB_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN; export GITLAB_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN
  • Windows (cmd.exe): set GITHUB_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN; set GITLAB_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN
  • Windows (PowerShell): $env: GITHUB_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN; GITLAB_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN

• $ npm install

• $ npm run tailwind-gen

• $ npm start

• Point browser to localhost:5000

Want to run the API server and the frontend in their processes? Use this:

$ npm run start-frontend
$ npm run start-server

or in a single command…

$ npm run start-development

Running the app within Docker

As an alternative to the section above, you can run the app within a Docker container:

• $ docker build -t hacktoberfest-checker .

• $ docker run -p 5000:5000 -e "GITHUB_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN" hacktoberfest-checker

or use the docker-compose

• $ docker-compose up --build

Changing styling

Styling is done through tailwind as much as possible, no CSS should be added and class names favoured. However, there will be occasions where custom CSS is required, in this case you need to edit style.css and run npm run tailwind-gen to generate the new CSS file.

Note: You should never directly edit index.css
