feat(website): add GitHub stars/forks/PRs counter in navbar and community by TanmayNileshShinde · Pull Request #48 · babelize/babelize-elements

TanmayNileshShinde · 2026-10-15T17:12:24Z

Description

Replaces the static round GitHub icon and plain mobile menu link with an interactive, segmented GitHubCounter pill component showing live project traction metrics (stars, forks, PRs) with server-side caching and graceful fallback.

In the desktop navbar, RotatingGitHubCounter smoothly cycles between stars → forks → PRs → stars every 3 seconds with a fixed width to eliminate layout shift, pausing on hover and keyboard focus, and respecting prefers-reduced-motion (showing static stars). The mobile header and dropdown menu display the stars counter pill.

Closes #36

Implementation Notes

All PRs Query: Updated query to https://api.github.com/search/issues?q=repo:babelize/babelize-elements+is:pr so that pull request activity is properly represented (20+ PRs) instead of being hidden under the 10-count threshold.
Navbar Rotation (RotatingGitHubCounter):
- Rotates through available metrics (stars → forks → prs → stars) every 3 seconds.
- Link href and aria-label update dynamically with the active metric.
- Pauses timer on onMouseEnter and onFocus, resumes on onMouseLeave and onBlur.
- Reads prefers-reduced-motion: reduce via useSyncExternalStore; freezes rotation and shows static stars pill.
- Fixed width w-[136px] prevents horizontal layout shifts in the navbar.
- Skips metrics with count < 10 or null. If none qualify, renders static stars fallback pill.
- Mobile menu and header remain static stars pill.
Testing: 19 unit tests in test/github-counter.test.tsx using Vitest fake timers and DOM events testing cycle intervals, pause behaviors, skip logic, and accessible labels.

- Add reusable GitHubCounter segmented pill component supporting stars, forks, and prs metrics - Add formatGitHubCount utility for friendly count bucketing and compact notation - Add server-side cached GitHub API fetch with 1-hour revalidation - Replace static GitHub links in navbar and mobile menu with GitHubCounter - Add unit tests in test/github-counter.test.tsx - Closes babelize#36

📝 Walkthrough

The landing page fetches public GitHub star, fork, and open pull-request counts. It displays formatted metric counters in the navbar and community section, with fallback behavior when counts are unavailable.

Changes: GitHub stats display

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Fetch and provide GitHub stats `src/lib/github.ts`, `src/app/page.tsx`	The page fetches repository stars, forks, and open pull requests concurrently with one-hour revalidation. Failed or invalid responses produce null values.
Format and render metric counters `src/components/landing/github-counter.tsx`, `test/github-counter.test.tsx`	The reusable counter formats available counts, selects metric-specific links and icons, and includes accessible labels. Tests cover formatting, links, rotation, reduced-motion behavior, and rendered attributes.
Connect counters to landing page `src/app/page.tsx`, `src/components/landing/community.tsx`, `src/components/landing/navbar.tsx`	The page passes stats to the navbar and community section. The navbar renders desktop and mobile counters, and the community section renders star, fork, and PR counters.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The reviewed changes stay within #36. The rotating navbar counter, metric-specific links, server fetch helper, Community counters, responsive behavior, and tests directly support the requested GitHub traction counter or its optional Community placement. No unrelated change is established by the available repository evidence.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The implementation satisfies most coding requirements in #36. GitHubCounter supports all three metrics, metric links, accessible labels, decorative aria-hidden icons, fallback counts, responsive count hiding, and server-provided data. getGitHubStats uses public unauthenticated GitHub requests with one-hour revalidation. The navbar and Community integrations are present. Formatter tests cover the required values. However, #36 requires open pull requests. PRS_URL in src/lib/github.ts contains is:pr but does not contain is:open, so total_count includes closed pull requests.

Resolution

Update PRS_URL in src/lib/github.ts to query repo:babelize/babelize-elements+is:pr+is:open. Keep or add a test that verifies the request uses the open-PR query and that the returned metric represents open pull requests.

@TanmayNileshShinde Please add screenshots to the PR description before review. Needed:

Navbar on desktop (star counter pill)
Navbar on mobile, plus the open mobile menu
Community section with stars / forks / PRs counters
Fallback state (no count shown, e.g. API failure or count < 10)

sapatmohit

Two changes requested:

PR count: count all PRs (is:pr) instead of open (is:pr is:open). Open PRs stay under 10 most of the time, so the pill never shows a number. Update the label/aria text to match (e.g. "20+ PRs").
Navbar rotation: the navbar pill should cycle stars → forks → PRs → stars, every 3s.
- Client component; data still fetched on the server and passed as props (no client requests).
- Short fade/slide between metrics; the link and aria-label follow the visible metric.
- Pause on hover and focus.
- prefers-reduced-motion: no rotation, show stars only.
- No aria-live (avoid announcing every 3s).
- Fixed width across metrics so the navbar doesn't shift.
- Skip metrics with no count. If none have a count, show the static stars pill.
- Mobile menu pill can stay stars only.
- Tests for the cycle order, reduced motion and the skip logic, using fake timers.

Please also add the screenshots requested above, plus a short screen recording of the rotation.

- Query all PRs (is:pr) instead of open PRs so count reflects project activity - Add RotatingGitHubCounter to cycle stars -> forks -> PRs -> stars every 3s - Pause cycling on hover and focus; fallback to static stars on prefers-reduced-motion - Fixed width across metrics to prevent navbar layout shifts - Add comprehensive unit tests covering cycle order, pause, reduced motion, and skip logic

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Decide whether the PR metric counts open PRs or all PRs.

Issue #36 asks for the number of open PRs. PRS_URL has no is:open filter, so it counts every PR, including closed and merged ones. The prs counter links to https://github.com/babelize/babelize-elements/pulls, and that page shows open PRs by default. The number in the pill therefore does not match the page that the link opens.

Do one of the following:

Add +is:open to the query.

Keep all PRs, record that decision against the issue, and change the link to the is:pr search that includes all PRs.

Fix if open PRs is the requirement

TanmayNileshShinde · 2026-10-17T04:58:45Z

Hi @sapatmohit,

Thanks for the review! I've addressed all requested changes:

PR count: Updated the query to count all PRs (\is:pr) instead of open only, reflecting overall project activity (\20+ PRs) and updating the label / aria-label accordingly.
Navbar rotation (\RotatingGitHubCounter):
- Implemented 3-second cycle order: \stars\ -> \orks\ -> \prs\ -> \stars.
- Data remains server-side fetched and passed down as props (no client requests).
- Pauses on hover (\onMouseEnter\ / \onMouseLeave) and focus (\onFocus\ / \onBlur).
- Respects \prefers-reduced-motion\ via \useSyncExternalStore\ (no rotation, static stars only).
- No \�ria-live\ to prevent screen reader interruptions; link \href\ and \�ria-label\ dynamically update to match the active metric.
- Fixed width (\w-[136px]) to prevent navbar layout shifts during metric transitions.
- Skips metrics with no count (< 10 or null); shows static stars pill if no metrics qualify.
- Mobile header and mobile dropdown menu remain static stars pill.
- Added comprehensive unit tests in \ est/github-counter.test.tsx\ covering cycle order, fake timer advancement, pause behaviors, reduced motion, and skip logic (all 182 test cases passing).
Visual Proof & Screen Recording:
- Added screenshots to the PR description for desktop navbar, mobile navbar, mobile menu open state, community section (stars / forks / PRs), and fallback state.
- Added an animated screen recording demo showing the live navbar rotation in the PR description.

Ready for re-review!

animate-in/fade-in/slide-in utilities have no plugin in this repo, so the metric swap had no transition. Define a counter-in keyframe in the theme. Hide the GitHub pill and Get Started below sm; both stay reachable from the mobile menu.

sapatmohit

Counter rotation, PR count and screenshots verified. Pushed f0a49a8: metric-swap animation (the animate-in utilities had no plugin) and a simplified mobile navbar (logo + menu only). Approved.

Merged, thanks @TanmayNileshShinde. If you find the project useful, a ⭐ on the repo would be appreciated.
