[Feat]: Automate Profile Addition via Website Form Submission | gssoc-ext | level 3

[Hamza1821]

What feature?

Issue Description:

Currently, DevDisplay requires users to manually fork the repository, create a JSON file, and submit a pull request to add their profiles. To enhance user experience and simplify the contribution process, I will create a feature that allows users to submit their profile details directly from the website, automatically generating and submitting the required JSON file via a form.
Detailed Plan:

Create a Profile Submission Form:

Build a form using React Hook Form for collecting user details:
Fields: Name, Location, Bio, Avatar URL, Portfolio URL, Skills, GitHub, Twitter, LinkedIn.
Validate input fields to ensure correct data formatting (e.g., valid URLs, bio length of 20-30 words).

Generate JSON from Form Data:

Upon form submission, the input will be processed and converted into the required JSON format, matching the existing profile structure.
The skills will be handled as a comma-separated input that is transformed into an array.

Example of JSON format:

json

{
"name": "Your Name",
"location": "Your Location",
"bio": "Your Bio should be 20-30 words not more than that",
"avatar": "https://github.com/your-github-username.png",
"portfolio": "Your Portfolio URL or Github URL",
"skills": ["Your Skill 1", "Your Skill 2", "..."],
"social": {
"GitHub": "https://github.com/your-github-username",
"Twitter": "https://twitter.com/your-twitter-username",
"LinkedIn": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/your-linkedin-username"
}
}

Backend Integration for GitHub Automation:

Set up a backend service (Node.js/Express) to handle the form submissions.
Use the GitHub API to automate the process of adding the user's JSON profile file to the repository:
Fork the repository (if necessary).
Create a new branch.
Add the JSON file (e.g., username.json) to the public/data/ folder.
Submit a pull request automatically.

GitHub API Usage:

Implement the following GitHub API endpoints:
Fork Repository (if needed).
Create File in Repository.
Create Pull Request.

User Experience:

Once the pull request is created, it will await the project maintainer’s review and merge.
After merging, the user’s profile will be displayed on the website automatically.

UI Enhancements:

Add appropriate success and error messages to guide users through the process.
Notify users when their profile has been successfully submitted and is under review.
