Modify wins.js to accept GitHub and LinkedIn usernames and construct URLs

[lc1715]

Fixes #5470

What changes did you make?

• Updated the code in assets/wins.js so that if the existing fields Github URL (optional) and Linkedin URL (optional) are blank, the code will reference the new fields GitHub Handle and LinkedIn Name and will construct the appropriate URLs.

Why did you make the changes (we will use this info to test)?

• We need to modify wins.js so that if the existing GitHub/LinkedIn fields (which contain URLs) are not populated, the code will use the new fields GitHub Handle and LinkedIn Name and reconstruct the appropriate URLs.

Hi Lisa,

Nice work on this. Using the GitHub Handle and LinkedIn Name properties to construct the URL values in the main function keeps the code simple and avoids duplicating conditional logic at the point of use. That made the implementation feel really clean and easy to follow.

I tested this by updating a few entries in _wins-data.json with GitHub Handle and LinkedIn Name values, and confirmed that the URLs are constructed correctly when the original URL fields are empty.

I was curious how you tested this on your end since the changes aren't directly visible in the UI and rely on data in the JSON file. I'd be interested to hear your approach there.

No changes requested from my side, happy to approve.

Hi Jose!

Yes, I also tested this by updating the GitHub Handle and LinkedIn Name values in the _wins-data.json file. I ran Docker to view the changes in the browser and console.log cardData inside of the main function to see the newly constructed URLs.

Awesome, sounds like we're on the same page. Nice work Lisa!
