🔧 Development Guide

Adding a New Tool

Create Component

# Create new file in src/pages/
touch src/pages/MyNewTool.tsx

Add SEO Configuration
- Edit src/config/seoConfig.ts
- Add metadata entry for the tool
Update Routing
- Add route in src/App.tsx
Update Navigation
- Add to sidebar list in src/components/Sidebar.tsx
- Update public/sitemap.xml

Component Template

import SEO from "../components/SEO";
import { toolsMetadata } from "../config/seoConfig";

export default function MyNewTool() {
  const meta = toolsMetadata.myNewTool;

  return (
    <>
      <SEO
        title={meta.title}
        description={meta.description}
        keywords={meta.keywords}
        canonical={meta.canonical}
      />
      {/* Your tool UI here */}
    </>
  );
}

Code Style Guidelines

React: Use functional components with hooks
TypeScript: Define types for all props and return values
Styling: Utility-first Tailwind CSS approach
Components: Keep components focused and reusable
Utilities: Extract common logic to src/utils/
Naming: Clear, descriptive names for variables and functions

Styling Conventions

// Use Tailwind utility classes
<div className="max-w-4xl mx-auto px-4">
  <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold text-gray-900 dark:text-white mb-6">
    Title
  </h1>
</div>

// Container sizing
max-w-4xl: Most tools
max-w-6xl: Wider layouts

// Spacing
space-y-4: Vertical rhythm
space-x-4: Horizontal spacing

🧪 Testing

# Run all tests
npm test

# Run in watch mode
npm run test:watch

# Run with coverage
npm run test:coverage

Tests are co-located with components using .test.tsx extension.

📦 Building for Production

# Build optimized production bundle
npm run build

# Output: static files in dist/ directory

# Preview production build
npm run preview

Deployment Options

Vercel (recommended) - Built-in optimizations for Vite
Netlify - Automatic deployments from git
GitHub Pages - Static hosting via workflow
Cloudflare Pages - Edge deployment
AWS S3 + CloudFront - Scalable CDN delivery

Output: Static files in dist/ directory (no server required)
