React Single Page Application demo that uses Github Gist API to show all public gists for an user.

ReactJS Single Page App demo which has the following features:

1. Search: When a user enters a username, it should be able to get a full list of public gists by that user.
2. Filetype: Convert the filetypes of the files in the gist into a tag/badge, (e.g, if the returned gist has list of files containing python and javascript files, the gist should have the respective tags/badges).
3. Fork: Username/Avatar of the last 3 users who forked it with avatar linking to the fork.

• create-react-app: Starter kit to create a reactjs app.
• bootstrap css (4.1.3): For styling and basic layout.
• react-router-dom (4.3.1): For routing between the search results screen and the detail screen.
• redux, react-redux: For data state management.
• redux-thunk: redux middleware library to dispatch asynchronous actions.
• For api calls I am using the fetch() method, which returns a Promise.
