Evaluating configuration contents
I’m looking at a JavaScript configuration file for "GitProfile" and overlaying it with the user’s own setup. The file includes potentially duplicative lengthy content from a README, detailing setup and customization.
Envisioning functionalities
The user is thinking about a GitProfile project update, focusing on an intuitive frontend for easy details input and replacing educational info with LinkedIn URL to retrieve details.
Enhancing user experience
I’m working on creating a front-end for GitProfile to streamline user detail entry, replacing the manual config file edit. Also, planning to extract education details from LinkedIn using the provided URL.
Creating a user-friendly frontend
I'm mapping out the creation of a GitProfile project frontend to simplify user data entry. Instead of manual edits, users will input details, and LinkedIn URL will fetch education information.
Generating dynamic forms
Crafting a dynamic form on a React page to simplify user inputs, including education details fetched from LinkedIn.
Detailing profile form
I’m mapping out a profile form with fields like GitHub username, social media links, skills, and experiences. Utilizing React's state management to handle inputs and generate a dynamic configuration object.
Focusing on LinkedIn
I’m registering a LinkedIn app, setting up OAuth 2.0 for authentication, and using the API to fetch profile data. If this isn't possible, manually entering the data might be the next step.
Refining data sources
Hmm, I’m thinking about how not scraping LinkedIn. Instead, user-uploaded resumes in JSON or CSV formats could be a viable alternative for extracting education data.
Crafting the form
I created a functional React form with States for GitHub and LinkedIn URLs. The form has two input fields and a submit button to gather user inputs and compile them into a configuration object.
Integrating updates
I’m pulling together the main app component by incorporating GitProfile
and ConfigForm
. The goal is to seamlessly toggle between form submission and profile display.
Integrating LinkedIn
I’m showing how to authenticate users and fetch education details with an API integration, or considering a resume upload for manual entry.
Refining the application
I’m working through dynamic configurations and comprehensive testing for precise portfolio generation. Also, I'm weighing deployment options for scalability and user security.
To enhance your GitProfile project by adding a frontend for user input and fetching education details from LinkedIn, you'll need to make several modifications. Below is a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:
Instead of requiring users to edit the gitprofile.config.js
file manually, you can create a user-friendly form where they can enter their details.
Since GitProfile is built with React.js, you can add a new component for the form.
Example: Create a file named ConfigForm.jsx
in the src/components
directory.
// src/components/ConfigForm.jsx import React, { useState } from 'react'; const ConfigForm = ({ onSubmit }) => { const [githubUsername, setGithubUsername] = useState(''); const [linkedinUrl, setLinkedinUrl] = useState(''); // ... other state variables for social links, skills, etc. const handleSubmit = (e) => { e.preventDefault(); const config = { github: { username: githubUsername, // other GitHub config options }, social: { linkedin: linkedinUrl, // other social links }, // other config options }; onSubmit(config); }; return ( <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}> <label> GitHub Username: <input type="text" value={githubUsername} onChange={(e) => setGithubUsername(e.target.value)} required /> </label> <label> LinkedIn URL: <input type="text" value={linkedinUrl} onChange={(e) => setLinkedinUrl(e.target.value)} /> </label> {/* Add other form fields as needed */} <button type="submit">Generate Portfolio</button> </form> ); }; export default ConfigForm;
Modify your App.jsx
to include the form and handle the configuration.
// src/App.jsx import React, { useState } from 'react'; import GitProfile from '@arifszn/gitprofile'; import ConfigForm from './components/ConfigForm'; function App() { const [config, setConfig] = useState(null); const handleConfigSubmit = (config) => { setConfig(config); }; return ( <div> {!config ? ( <ConfigForm onSubmit={handleConfigSubmit} /> ) : ( <GitProfile config={config} /> )} </div> ); } export default App;
Fetching data directly from LinkedIn profiles requires careful handling due to API restrictions.
r_liteprofile
and r_emailaddress
permissions at a minimum.You'll need to authenticate users to access their LinkedIn data.
Steps:
Register a LinkedIn App:
Set Up Authentication Flow:
Obtain Access Token:
Fetch Education Data:
/me
endpoint.https://api.linkedin.com/v2/educationElements?q=members&projection=(elements*(schoolName,degreeName,fieldOfStudy,dates))
Example Code Snippet:
// Inside ConfigForm.jsx import LinkedIn from 'react-linkedin-login-oauth2'; const ConfigForm = ({ onSubmit }) => { // ... existing state variables const handleSuccess = (data) => { // Exchange data.code for access token // Fetch education details using access token // Update state with education details }; const handleFailure = (error) => { console.log(error); }; return ( <div> {/* ... existing form elements */} <LinkedIn clientId="LINKEDIN_CLIENT_ID" onFailure={handleFailure} onSuccess={handleSuccess} redirectUri="YOUR_REDIRECT_URI" > <img src={linkedInButton} alt="Log in with Linked In" /> </LinkedIn> </div> ); };
Important: Replace LINKEDIN_CLIENT_ID
and YOUR_REDIRECT_URI
with your actual LinkedIn app credentials.
Process the data received from LinkedIn and incorporate it into the user's configuration.
Adjust your project to accept configurations dynamically rather than from a static file.
gitprofile.config.js
Since the configuration will now come from user input, you can eliminate or repurpose the config file.
Ensure that the GitProfile
component uses the dynamic configuration.
// src/App.jsx <GitProfile config={config} />
If necessary, modify how configurations are exported and imported throughout your project to accommodate dynamic data.
If you want to allow users to save or share their generated portfolios:
Save the configuration in the browser's local storage.
// After setting the config localStorage.setItem('userConfig', JSON.stringify(config));
Set up a backend (e.g., Node.js with Express) to store user configurations in a database.
Adjust the frontend to reflect these changes.
Since you're fetching education details from LinkedIn, you can remove manual education input fields.
Ensure that all components work as expected.
When deploying the application:
dotenv
to manage them locally.LinkedIn's OAuth 2.0 requires HTTPS for redirect URIs in production environments.
If integrating with LinkedIn's API is not feasible, you can modify the form to allow manual entry of education details in a more user-friendly way.
Provide a way for users to add multiple education entries.
// In ConfigForm.jsx const [educations, setEducations] = useState([]); const addEducation = () => { setEducations([...educations, { institution: '', degree: '', from: '', to: '' }]); }; const handleEducationChange = (index, field, value) => { const newEducations = [...educations]; newEducations[index][field] = value; setEducations(newEducations); }; // Render education fields {educations.map((edu, index) => ( <div key={index}> <input type="text" placeholder="Institution" value={edu.institution} onChange={(e) => handleEducationChange(index, 'institution', e.target.value)} /> {/* Other fields for degree, from, to */} </div> ))} <button type="button" onClick={addEducation}>Add Education</button>
By following these steps, you can modify your GitProfile project to include a frontend form for user input and fetch education details from LinkedIn. Remember to handle user data responsibly and comply with all third-party API terms of service.
