🎨 Design Philosophy

Browser-First Processing

All cURL parsing and code generation happens entirely in the browser using TypeScript. No backend servers, no API calls, no data collection.

SEO-Friendly Architecture

Each programming language has a dedicated page (/python, /javascript, etc.) with optimized meta tags and structured content for better search engine visibility.

Modern UX Patterns

• Tab-based Variants - Switch between library implementations seamlessly
• Quick Examples - Pre-built examples for common HTTP methods
• Real-time Conversion - Instant feedback with debounced updates
• Copy to Clipboard - One-click code copying
• Responsive Layout - Mobile-first design principles

🤝 Contributing

Contributions are welcome! Here's how you can help:

Adding a New Language

1. Create generator in src/lib/generators/yourlang.ts:

import type { Request } from '../curlconverter';

export function generateYourLangLibrary1(request: Request): string {
  // Implementation
  return `// Generated code`;
}

export function generateYourLangLibrary2(request: Request): string {
  // Alternative library implementation
  return `// Generated code`;
}

2. Export generators in src/lib/generators/index.ts:

export async function getYourLangGenerators() {
  const { generateYourLangLibrary1, generateYourLangLibrary2 } = await import('./yourlang');
  return {
    'Library 1': generateYourLangLibrary1,
    'Library 2': generateYourLangLibrary2,
  };
}

3. Add language metadata to src/lib/languages.ts:

export const TARGETS = [
  // ... existing languages
  { value: 'yourlang', label: 'Your Language', icon: '🔷' },
] as const;

4. Create language-specific page src/pages/yourlang.astro

5. Update sitemap.xml with new URL

Development Guidelines

• Use TypeScript for type safety
• Follow existing code structure and naming conventions
• Test generators with various cURL commands
• Ensure responsive design on mobile devices
• Add JSDoc comments for public functions
