To make a search bar that shows the GitHub Repositories in React, we have to use the Input tag, which creates search bars and includes several attributes like placeholder, type, and name.


Getting data or information from the API is also called Fetch API. It provides a JavaScript interface for accessing and manipulating protocol parts, such as requests and responses. It also offers a global fetch() method that can easily and logically fetch resources asynchronously across the network. Using API's call, we can create a dynamic search bar. A dynamic search box is a search bar with a text field for taking the user's input and then performing some operation based on the user's input to show him the dynamic results based on the user input. The API calls are triggered whenever a user starts typing to show him the dynamic options. We can also create a dropdown in a search box by using any element to open the dropdown menu. For example, a <button>, <a>, or <p> element. Then make use of a container element like <div> to create the dropdown menu and add the links.


Three most vital methods available in the React component API,

  • setState()
  • forceUpdate()
  • findDOMNode()


Here is an example of how you can create a search box using React:

Code

In this solution we're using React library.

Instructions

Follow the steps carefully to get the output easily.

  1. Install the Node.js and React on your IDE(preferable Visual Studio Code).
  2. Create React Application using npx create-react-app foldername.
  3. cd foldername.
  4. Open the folder in IDE.
  5. Copy the code using "copy" button above and paste it in app.js file(remove the earlier code from app.js).
  6. Open the terminal from IDE.
  7. npm start to run the file.


I hope you found this useful. I have added the link to dependent libraries, version information in the following sections.


I found this code snippet by searching for 'searching program to work on react' in kandi. You can try any such use case!

Environment Tested

I tested this solution in the following versions. Be mindful of changes when working with other versions.

  1. The solution is created in Visual Studio Code 1.73.1.
  2. The solution is tested on node v18.12.1 and npm v8.19.2.
  3. React version-18.2.0.


Using this solution, we are able to implement searching github repo queries in React with simple steps. This process also facilities an easy way to use, hassle-free method to create a hands-on working version of code which would help us to implement searching github repo queries in React.
