From frontend to backend 👨‍🎤

I've recently moved to learning how things work in the backend - Express.js, website, and soon python! This blog is about my experience while playing around with API calls, specifically the Github-Discord Integration.

Here's what I planned on doing:

How my API call fits IRL 💻

Developers never check whether someone has pushed a commit. Either that or they have to go out of their way to keep an eye out on the changes - who, when, what.

Here's where integrations like mine are useful.

• As a reviewer, I can easily check who's pushed any code to the repo and go check it out.
• As the developer, I know who made the commit before me.

Functional requirements 🗒️

• Whenever a user commits a push to his/her github repository then there will be message sent to your discord channel.
• Message format : "<username> just pushed a commit with message - "your_commit_message" to <repo-name>".

Hosting 📤

I'm hosting it on Netlify because

• It's fast
• I already know the works

Languages and framework ✍️

I've been coding in Javascript so it seemed only natural to use Express.js.
