| 21 | +## Adding Snippets |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +### Adding to an Existing Category |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +1. **Find the language file:** |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +Head over to the `/public/data` folder and locate the language file you need, like javascript.json or python.json |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +2. **Find the category:** |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +Look for the categoryName where your snippet belongs. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +3. **Add your snippet** in this format: |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +```json |
| 36 | +{ |
| 37 | + "title": "Name of the snippet", |
| 38 | + "description": "A short explanation of what the snippet does", |
| 39 | + "code": "your code goes here", |
| 40 | + "tags": ["tag1", "tag2", "tag3"], |
| 41 | + "author": "your_github_username" |
| 42 | +} |
| 43 | +``` |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +Here’s an example for JavaScript: |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +```json |
| 48 | +// javascript.json |
| 49 | +[ |
| 50 | + { |
| 51 | + "categoryName": "Date and Time", |
| 52 | + "snippets": [ |
| 53 | + { |
| 54 | + "title": "Format Date", |
| 55 | + "description": "Formats a date in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format.", |
| 56 | + "code": "const formatDate = (date) => date.toISOString().split('T')[0];\n\n// Usage:\nconsole.log(formatDate(new Date())); // Output: '2024-12-10'", |
| 57 | + "tags": ["javascript", "date", "format"], |
| 58 | + "author": "technoph1le" |
| 59 | + } |
| 60 | + ] |
| 61 | + } |
| 62 | +] |
| 63 | +``` |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +### Adding a New Category |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +If your snippet doesn’t fit into any existing category, you can create a new one! Just make sure it’s unique and doesn’t overlap with others (e.g., don’t create separate categories for “Date” and “Time” when “Date and Time” works). |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +Use this format: |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +```json |
| 72 | +[ |
| 73 | + { |
| 74 | + "categoryName": "New Category Name", |
| 75 | + "snippets": [ |
| 76 | + { |
| 77 | + "title": "Name of the snippet", |
| 78 | + "description": "A short explanation of what it does", |
| 79 | + "code": "your code goes here", |
| 80 | + "tags": ["tag1", "tag2", "tag3"], |
| 81 | + "author": "your_github_username" |
| 82 | + } |
| 83 | + ] |
| 84 | + } |
| 85 | +] |
| 86 | +``` |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +### Adding a New Language |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +Want to include a new programming language? Here's what to do: |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +1. **Create a new file:** |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +In the `/public/data` folder, create a file named after the language (e.g., `go.json`). |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +2. **Add categories and snippets:** |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +Follow the formats explained above. |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +3. **Update the `_index.json`:** |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +Add your new language like this: |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +```json |
| 105 | +[ |
| 106 | + { |
| 107 | + "lang": "Go", |
| 108 | + "icon": "/icons/go.svg" |
| 109 | + } |
| 110 | +] |
| 111 | +``` |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +4. **Include an icon:** |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +Upload a logo for your language into the `/public/icons` folder. Make sure the filename matches the one you used in `_index.json`. Icons should be 50x50px in `.svg` format. |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +5. **Double-check your work:** |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +Test on your side and confirm if it works properly. |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +--- |
| 122 | + |
