| 11 | + |
| 12 | +- **Frontend**: Blazor WebAssembly (.NET 9.0) |
| 13 | +- **Styling**: Tailwind CSS |
| 14 | +- **Icons**: Lucide Icons |
| 15 | +- **Deployment**: GitHub Pages |
| 16 | +- **CI/CD**: GitHub Actions |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +## 🚀 Getting Started |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +### Prerequisites |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +- .NET 9.0 SDK |
| 23 | +- Visual Studio 2022 or VS Code with C# extension |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +### Installation |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +1. **Clone the repository** |
| 28 | + ```bash |
| 29 | + git clone https://github.com/yourusername/TextHub.git |
| 30 | + cd TextHub |
| 31 | + ``` |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +2. **Restore dependencies** |
| 34 | + ```bash |

| 45 | + |
| 46 | +## 🚀 Deployment |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +The application is automatically deployed to GitHub Pages using GitHub Actions. The deployment workflow: |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +1. Builds the Blazor WebAssembly application |
| 51 | +2. Changes the base href from `/` to `/TextHub/` for GitHub Pages |
| 52 | +3. Creates a 404.html file for SPA fallback |
| 53 | +4. Deploys to the `gh-pages` branch |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +### Manual Deployment |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +To deploy manually: |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +```bash |
| 60 | +dotnet publish TextHub/TextHub.csproj -c Release -o release |
| 61 | +# The release folder contains the deployable files |
| 62 | +``` |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +## 🐛 Common Issues & Solutions |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +### Issue: 404 Errors on Direct URL Access |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +**Problem**: When you use `/uppercase` for navigation not work as expected |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +Example : |
| 71 | +=> website is hoisted on `codefrydev.in/TetxHub` |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +=> With `/uppercase` it will got to `codefrydev.in/uppercase` which causes issue |
| 74 | +=> With `oppercase` it will go to 'codefrydev.in/TextHub/uppercase` |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +**Solution**: |
| 77 | +1. **Fixed Navigation Links**: Removed leading slashes from all tool links in `ToolDataService.cs` |
| 78 | + ```csharp |
| 79 | + // Before (causing 404s) |
| 80 | + new Tool("Uppercase Converter", "Convert any text to UPPERCASE instantly", "/uppercase", "...") |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | + // After (working correctly) |
| 83 | + new Tool("Uppercase Converter", "Convert any text to UPPERCASE instantly", "uppercase", "...") |
| 84 | + ``` |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +2. **Fixed Navigation Bar**: Updated all navigation links to use relative paths |
| 87 | + ```html |
| 88 | + <!-- Before --> |
| 89 | + <a href="/">Text Hub</a> |
| 90 | + <a href="/uppercase">Uppercase</a> |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | + <!-- After --> |
| 93 | + <a href="">Text Hub</a> |
| 94 | + <a href="uppercase">Uppercase</a> |
| 95 | + ``` |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +3. **Deployment Configuration**: The deployment workflow automatically: |
| 98 | + - Changes base href to `/TextHub/` for GitHub Pages |
| 99 | + - Creates a 404.html file for SPA fallback |
| 100 | + - Ensures relative links resolve correctly |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +### Issue: Links Not Working After Deployment |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +**Problem**: Tool cards and navigation links don't work after deploying to GitHub Pages. |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +**Solution**: Ensure all links use relative paths instead of absolute paths. The base href configuration in the deployment handles the rest. |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +## 🎨 Customization |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +### Adding New Tools |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +1. **Create the Razor component** in the appropriate `Features/` folder |
| 113 | +2. **Add the route** using `@page "/tool-name"` |
| 114 | +3. **Update ToolDataService.cs** to include the new tool |
| 115 | +4. **Add the tool to the appropriate section** (TextCase, TextAnalysis, or TextFormatting) |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +Example: |
| 118 | +```csharp |
| 119 | +// In ToolDataService.cs |
| 120 | +new Tool("New Tool", "Description of the new tool", "new-tool", "<svg>...</svg>") |
| 121 | +``` |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +### Styling |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +The application uses Tailwind CSS for styling. Key customization points: |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +- **Colors**: Defined in `wwwroot/index.html` in the Tailwind config |
| 128 | +- **Components**: Styled using Tailwind classes |
| 129 | +- **Animations**: Custom animations defined in the CSS |
