Addressed Issues

Fixes #345

The README advertises a repository creation timeline, but the Overview dashboard did not display one. This adds a chart showing repository creation over time using the repositories already loaded for the selected organization scope.

  • Switch between monthly and yearly grouping.
  • Hover to see the period's count and cumulative loaded-repository total.
  • Follow the dashboard's existing organization filter.
  • Explain coverage limits, including the exclusion of deleted repositories.

The chart uses existing created_at data and Recharts without additional API requests or dependencies. It includes zero-count periods, handles missing dates, and provides keyboard navigation and an expandable data table.

Screenshots/Recordings

Yearly timeline showing 280 loaded repositories, with the grouping selector and coverage note visible.

Repository creation timeline grouped by year, showing 280 loaded repositories

Additional Notes

Validation

  • All 92 tests pass after rebasing onto the latest upstream main, including 11 new tests covering aggregation, UTC boundaries, organization filtering, empty states, and tooltip content.
  • Production build passes with the existing bundle-size warning.
  • Verified locally with 87 loaded AOSSIE repositories, including monthly/yearly grouping and tooltip totals.
  • All four new files pass scoped JavaScript/JSX and React Hooks lint checks using temporary tooling outside the repository. The Overview changes introduce no new findings against its baseline.
  • Keyboard coverage checks Tab/Shift+Tab focus and real Recharts arrow-key tooltips before and after grouping changes. Native selection with Space/Down/Enter was also verified in the browser; jsdom does not emulate native select keyboard defaults.
  • No lint script is defined in this checkout. Its existing ESLint configuration targets TS/TSX and references dependencies absent from package.json.
  • The contribution guide requests TypeScript for new code, while the current source and toolchain use JavaScript/JSX. This implementation follows the surrounding JavaScript/JSX patterns and shared UI styles.

AI disclosure

AI assistance was used to implement the feature, write tests, update documentation, review code style, and draft this PR. Automated tests, a production build, scoped lint checks, and local browser checks were used to verify the changes.

Walkthrough

The Organization Dashboard now displays a yearly or monthly repository creation timeline. It uses loaded repositories selected by the organization filter and shows per-period and cumulative counts.

Changes

Repository Creation Timeline

Layer / File(s) Summary
Build UTC timeline data
src/utils/repositoryCreationTimeline.js, src/utils/repositoryCreationTimeline.test.js
The timeline builder groups valid creation dates by UTC year or month, fills gaps, and returns period and cumulative counts. Tests cover grouping, invalid dates, gaps, and input preservation.
Render and connect the dashboard timeline
src/components/RepositoryCreationTimeline.jsx, src/pages/OverviewPage.jsx, src/pages/OverviewPage.test.jsx, README.md
The dashboard displays the timeline chart, tooltip, grouping control, and expandable UTC table. The overview passes filtered repositories to the component. Tests cover filtering, loading, updates, and empty states. The README describes the loaded-repository scope.

The timeline’s keyboard accessibility needs test coverage. This is a bounded follow-up rather than evidence that the dashboard is currently unusable.

A rabbit counts the months in rows,
Then watches yearly totals grow.
The UTC bars rise and fall,
A tooltip shares the count for all.
The loaded burrows make the show.

Add required keyboard accessibility coverage for the timeline.

The test file must include accessibility testing. The current tests verify the table and grouping result, but they do not verify keyboard focus or keyboard operation for the chart or the Group by select. Add a test that focuses the chart, exercises its accessibilityLayer keyboard behavior, and reaches and operates the grouping control by keyboard.
