Develop a feature in the backend to fetch and parse the README file from a specified GitHub repository to extract image URLs. This should help to enhance the data representation and user experience in our application.
Tasks:
API Integration:
Set up an endpoint in the backend to receive repository details (owner and repository name).
Integrate with the GitHub API to fetch the README file's raw content.
Content Parsing:
Develop a function to parse the README content (likely in markdown format) and extract image URLs.
Consider using a reliable parsing library or regular expressions to extract image URLs from the markdown content.
Error Handling:
Implement robust error handling to manage potential issues like invalid repository details or API failures.
Testing:
Develop unit tests to verify the functionality of the new feature.
Conduct integration testing to ensure compatibility with the existing backend infrastructure.
Documentation:
Update the API documentation to include details about the new endpoint.
Prepare a brief user guide or tutorial demonstrating how to use the new feature.
Acceptance Criteria:
The backend should be able to fetch README files from GitHub repositories accurately.
Successfully parse the README content to extract image URLs.
Adequate error handling to manage potential issues and provide meaningful error messages.
