Comprehensive documentation for the Synapse framework, built entirely with Synapse itself to showcase its capabilities.

Overview

This documentation package demonstrates the power of the Synapse framework by using its own components to build a complete documentation system. It includes:

• HTTP Server: Custom server implementation showcasing Synapse's routing concepts
• Template Engine: Custom templating system with variable substitution, conditionals, and loops
• Database: In-memory database with ORM-like capabilities
• Authentication: Simple auth system demonstrating security concepts
• Static Generation: Ability to generate static HTML files for GitHub Pages

Quick Start

Development Server

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Start development server
npm run dev

# Visit http://localhost:3001

Production Build

# Build the documentation
npm run build

# Start production server
npm start

Static Generation

# Generate static HTML files
npm run generate

# Files will be created in ./public/

Architecture

The documentation system is built using Synapse's own concepts:

SimpleServer

A custom HTTP server implementation that demonstrates:

• Route handling and middleware
• Request/response processing
• Error handling and 404 pages

SimpleTemplateEngine

A template engine that supports:

• Variable substitution: {{variable}}
• Conditional blocks: {% if condition %}...{% endif %}
• Loop blocks: {% for item in array %}...{% endfor %}

SimpleDatabase

An in-memory database with:

• Table creation and management
• CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete)
• Query filtering and conditions
• ORM-like record management

SimpleAuth

A basic authentication system with:

• Password hashing and verification
• JWT-like token generation and validation
• User management and sessions

Content Structure

The documentation is organized into several main sections:

1. Getting Started - Introduction and quick start guide
2. Core Framework - Core packages and basic functionality
3. Enterprise Features - Production-ready capabilities
4. Next-Generation Features - AI, blockchain, collaboration
5. Futuristic Features - PWA, voice, WebAssembly, WebRTC
6. API Reference - Complete API documentation
7. Examples & Tutorials - Practical examples and guides

GitHub Pages Deployment

The documentation is designed to be deployed to GitHub Pages:

1. Static HTML files are generated in the ./public/ directory
2. GitHub Actions workflow automatically builds and deploys on push to main
3. Documentation is available at the repository's GitHub Pages URL

Development

Adding New Content

1. Pages: Add new pages in the setupDatabase() method
2. Examples: Add code examples in the examples array
3. Templates: Modify template methods for UI changes
4. Routes: Add new routes in the setupRoutes() method

Customization

The documentation system is highly customizable:

• Templates: Modify the template methods to change the UI
• Styling: Update CSS in the template strings
• Content: Add new pages, examples, and tutorials
• Features: Extend the server with new capabilities

Showcasing Synapse

This documentation package demonstrates many Synapse concepts:

• Zero Dependencies: Built with pure TypeScript and Node.js
• Type Safety: Complete TypeScript support throughout
• Modular Design: Clean separation of concerns
• Template Engine: Custom templating with .webml-like syntax
• Database Layer: ORM-like database operations
• HTTP Server: Custom server implementation
• Authentication: Security and user management
• Static Generation: Build-time content generation
