Contributions

The Two major types of Contribution are explained below (Add Theme, Add Ideas) :

ADD Themes

Here we are talking about the theme for the website. The process to add theme is (After Fork And Clone):
we are showing an eg by adding a theme called test.

1. Add a new <option> in ./src/components/ThemeSelector.astro :

• Before

<select name="themes" id={id} class="btn">
  /* other options */
  <option value="neon">Neon</option>
</select>

• After

<select name="themes" id={id} class="btn">
  /* other options */
  <option value="neon">Neon</option>
  /* Added code 👇 */
  <option value="test">Test</option>
</select>

2. Adding a new class code in ./src/styles/themes.scss :

Name of the class is the value given to value attribute of your <option> tag

Here we used :

<option value="test">Test</option>

so our class is test.

• Before

/* Other Codes*/
.neon {
  --primary-1: #793fdf;
  --primary-2: #7091f5;
  --primary-3: #97fff4;
  --primary-4: #ffffff;
  --sidenav: #793fdfce;
  --gradient: #e600ff;
}

• After

/* Other Codes*/
.neon {
  /*same*/
}

/* Added code 👇 */
.test {
  --primary-1: #000000;
  --primary-2: #000132;
  --primary-3: #000245;
  --primary-4: #ffffff;
  --sidenav: #0000ce;
  --gradient: #f690fa;
}

NOTE :

1. --primary-1 : is used as the main background
2. --primary-3 : is mostly used my important texts
3. --primary-4 : is used by detailed texts
4. --sidenav : is reduced opacity of --primary-1, just append ce of your --primary-1;
5. --gradient : this is a random color which suits the website, it's the color of the gradient circle at top of the website

You can use https://colorhunt.co/ for the 4 Primary Colors, and choose a nice color for gradient on your own

ADD Ideas

Here we are talking about the ideas displayed on the website. The process to add ideas is (After Fork And Clone):

CASE 1 : Adding Idea in Existing Section/Field

we are showing an example by adding an idea in React section.

1. Add Your Object in the ./src/database/MainData.json inside the data of React section :

• Before

[
  {
    section: 'React',
    data: [
      {
        id: 1,
        title: 'E-commerce Dashboard',
        tags: ['React', 'Redux', 'CSS', 'API Integration'],
        description: 'Lorem Ispum',
        link: 'https://example-ecommerce-dashboard.com',
      },
    ],
  },
];

• After

[
  {
    section: 'React',
    data: [
      {
        // prev code
      },
      /* Added code 👇 */
      {
        id: 2,
        title: 'Test',
        tags: ['React', 'Redux', 'scss', 'API'],
        description: 'Give Meaningful Description, there is no word limit',
        link: 'Working Link',
      },
    ],
  },
];

CASE 2 : Adding Idea in a New Section/Field

we are showing an example by adding an idea in a new sectio : BackboneJs section.

1. Add Your Section Name in ./src/database/sections.json, to make your section/field appear in left navigation panel :

• Before

['React', 'Vue', 'Svelte', 'Frontend', 'Backend'];

• After

['React', 'Vue', 'Svelte', 'Frontend', 'Backend', 'BackboneJs'];

2. Add Your Object in the ./src/database/MainData.json inside the data of React section :

• Before

[
  {
    section: 'React',
    data: [
      {
        id: 1,
        title: 'E-commerce Dashboard',
        tags: ['React', 'Redux', 'CSS', 'API Integration'],
        description: 'Lorem Ispum',
        link: 'Working Link',
      },
    ],
  },
  // Similar Codes for Other Sections
];

• After

[
  // prev Codes
  {
    section: 'BackboneJs',
    data: [
      {
        id: 1,
        title: 'E-commerce Dashboard',
        tags: ['Backbonejs'],
        description: 'Give Meaningful Description, there is no word limit',
        link: 'Working Link',
      },
    ],
  },
];

NOTE :

1. section : the major Fields
2. link : It should be a working, non-broken link. It can be a figma, hosted website link. If your idea is based on any other already existing website (can be desings or any feature), then provide that website link.
3. *All the id in each sections must be unique*
