🚀 Getting Started

Quick Start (Built Version)

1. Run the build process (see Development Setup below)
2. Open index.html in any modern web browser
3. Type text in the input field
4. Choose a transformation from the categorized buttons
5. Click any transform button to apply and auto-copy
6. Use the Universal Decoder to decode any encoded text

Development Setup

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build all assets (required before use):
# - Builds transform bundle from source files
# - Generates emoji data
# - Injects tool templates into index.html
npm run build

# Or build individual components:
npm run build:transforms  # Bundle all transformers
npm run build:emoji        # Generate emoji data
npm run build:templates    # Inject tool HTML templates
npm run build:index        # Generate transformer index

# Run tests
npm test                   # Run universal decoder tests
npm run test:universal     # Same as above
npm run test:steg          # Test steganography options

🛠️ Technical Details

Architecture

• Frontend: Vue.js 2.6 with modern CSS (staying on Vue 2)
• Tool System: Modular tool registry with build-time template injection
• Encoding: UTF-8 with proper Unicode handling
• Steganography: Variation selectors and Tags Unicode block
• Build Process:
  • Transformers are bundled from src/transformers/ into js/bundles/transforms-bundle.js
  • Tool templates are injected from templates/ into index.html
  • Emoji data is generated from Unicode specifications
  • All build steps are required before the app can run
