Create repository screen filter

[jouderianjr]

Hey everyone, reading the issue #286 I was wondering that maybe we could create a filter feature for repository field.

I was thinking about 2 options.

1 - Add tabs ( Similar that one has in search tab) containing All, Public, Private and Forks.

2 - Add a filter button in the header bar in order to open a modal with many options as order by date and alphabetical. And some checkboxes to filter All, Public, Private and Forks types.

What do you think about? 😄

I think having tabs like in the SearchScreen in RepositoryListScreen is an absolutely great idea :) Having 4 categories for All, Public, Private and Forks should be solid 🙌

Awesome, I could get this one when I finish the edit/delete comment feature, but if someone would like to get first, would be great also.

Hi I am getting into React Native from React, and would love to have an open source project with existing infrastructure to work on top of.

Can I take a look at this task?

@nma Sure! would be awesome 😄

So here is a sample work plan I'm drafting out after looking through the code, let me know if anything feels off!

• Core code changes will be done on the User subfolder https://github.com/gitpoint/git-point/tree/master/src/user on the RepositoryListScreen
• I will reference the implementation of tabs from the search screen on adding tabs https://github.com/gitpoint/git-point/blob/master/src/search/screens/search.screen.js#L229-L240 and place it on the user repository
• In https://github.com/gitpoint/git-point/blob/master/src/api/index.js, add the ability to filter by type of repositories from the Github API --> https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/#list-your-repositories

Open questions (these can be addressed concurrently while I implement the tabs for repositories)

• Do we want a client side sorting of the data? Or do we be prefer updating API? I think we should reduce API calls and sort client side, as I don't foresee a single user having > 500 Repositories. A final input here would drop the work for updating api/index.js

@nma The search bar in this screen is filtering locally or is calling the API? I believe the bar needs to have similar behavior. :)

@jouderianjr Search Bar is doing a separate API request, I'll go for that workflow then.

Is this still open for anyone to take?
