| 40 | +## Key Features |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +### 1. Dynamic Content System |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +- Portfolio content is defined in `src/content.js` as structured data |
| 45 | +- `src/dynamic-content.js` dynamically renders projects, skills, and expertise |
| 46 | +- Supports filtering by category and technology tags |
| 47 | +- Cross-section filtering (clicking a tag filters across all sections) |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +### 2. Animated Background |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +- Custom neural network animation canvas (`src/neural-network.js`) |
| 52 | +- Particles with connections, responsive to viewport size |
| 53 | +- Performance-optimized with requestAnimationFrame |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +### 3. Scroll Animations |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +- Intersection Observer API for scroll-triggered animations |
| 58 | +- Fade-in effects on sections as they enter viewport |
| 59 | +- Smooth transitions and micro-animations |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +### 4. SEO Optimization |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +- Comprehensive meta tags (Open Graph, Twitter Cards) |
| 64 | +- Semantic HTML5 structure |
| 65 | +- Proper heading hierarchy |
| 66 | +- Google Analytics integration |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +## Development Guidelines |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +### Code Style |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +1. **JavaScript**: |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | + - Use ES6+ features (modules, arrow functions, destructuring) |
| 75 | + - Prefer `for...of` loops over `forEach` (Biome lint rule) |
| 76 | + - Use `const` and `let`, never `var` |
| 77 | + - Module type: ES modules (`type="module"`) |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +2. **CSS**: |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | + - Use CSS Custom Properties for theming |
| 82 | + - Mobile-first responsive design |
| 83 | + - BEM-like naming conventions for classes |
| 84 | + - Avoid inline styles |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +3. **HTML**: |
| 87 | + - Semantic HTML5 elements |
| 88 | + - Accessibility: proper ARIA labels, alt text |
| 89 | + - Unique IDs for all interactive elements |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +### Linting & Formatting |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +- **Biome** is used for both linting and formatting |
| 94 | +- Configuration: `biome.json` |
| 95 | +- Pre-commit hook runs `biome check --write` on staged files |
| 96 | +- Lint rules enforce: |
| 97 | + - No `forEach` (use `for...of` instead) |
| 98 | + - Consistent code style |
| 99 | + - Import organization |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +### Scripts |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +```bash |
| 104 | +pnpm dev # Start dev server (localhost:5173) |
| 105 | +pnpm build # Build for production |
| 106 | +pnpm preview # Preview production build |
| 107 | +pnpm lint # Run linter |
| 108 | +pnpm lint:fix # Fix linting issues |
| 109 | +pnpm format # Format code |
| 110 | +pnpm check # Lint + format check |
| 111 | +``` |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +### Pre-commit Workflow |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +1. Husky runs on `git commit` |
| 116 | +2. lint-staged runs `biome check --write` on `*.{js,css}` |
| 117 | +3. Commit fails if linting errors exist |
| 118 | +4. Auto-fixes are staged automatically |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +## Content Management |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +### Adding/Editing Content |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +All content is in `src/content.js`: |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +```javascript |
| 127 | +export const projects = [ |
| 128 | + { |
| 129 | + title: "Project Name", |
| 130 | + description: "Description", |
| 131 | + category: "category-slug", |
| 132 | + technologies: ["React", "Node.js"], |
| 133 | + link: "https://...", |
| 134 | + github: "https://github.com/...", |
| 135 | + }, |
| 136 | +]; |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +export const skills = [ |
| 139 | + { |
| 140 | + name: "Skill Name", |
| 141 | + category: "category-slug", |
| 142 | + level: "Expert|Advanced|Intermediate", |
| 143 | + technologies: ["Tech1", "Tech2"], |
| 144 | + }, |
| 145 | +]; |
| 146 | +``` |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +### Categories |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | +- Projects: `web-app`, `ml-project`, `cloud-infra`, `api-service` |
| 151 | +- Skills: `frontend`, `backend`, `cloud`, `ai-ml`, `devops` |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +### Technology Tags |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +- Clicking a tag filters all sections by that technology |
| 156 | +- Tags are automatically extracted from content data |
| 157 | +- Styling: `.tech-tag` class with hover effects |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +## Deployment |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +### Automatic Deployment |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +- **Trigger**: Push to `source` branch |
| 164 | +- **Process**: GitHub Actions workflow (`.github/workflows/main.yml`) |
| 165 | + 1. Checkout code |
| 166 | + 2. Install dependencies (pnpm) |
| 167 | + 3. Run linting (`pnpm lint`) |
| 168 | + 4. Build (`pnpm build`) |
| 169 | + 5. Deploy `dist/` to GitHub Pages |
| 170 | +- **Custom Domain**: gopalsaini.co.in (configured in GitHub Pages settings) |
| 171 | + |
| 172 | +### Manual Deployment |
| 173 | + |
| 174 | +```bash |
| 175 | +pnpm build |
| 176 | +# Deploy dist/ folder to hosting provider |
| 177 | +``` |
| 178 | + |
| 179 | +## Design System |
| 180 | + |
| 181 | +### Color Palette |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +```css |
| 184 | +--primary: #00f2ff; /* Cyan accent */ |
| 185 | +--primary-dark: #00b8c4; /* Darker cyan */ |
| 186 | +--bg-dark: #0a0e27; /* Deep navy background */ |
| 187 | +--bg-card: #1a1f3a; /* Card background */ |
| 188 | +--text-primary: #ffffff; /* White text */ |
| 189 | +--text-secondary: #a0aec0; /* Gray text */ |
| 190 | +``` |
| 191 | + |
| 192 | +### Typography |
| 193 | + |
| 194 | +- Font: System font stack (no external fonts) |
| 195 | +- Headings: Bold, large sizes with letter-spacing |
| 196 | +- Body: 16px base, 1.6 line-height |
| 197 | + |
| 198 | +### Spacing |
| 199 | + |
| 200 | +- Uses consistent spacing scale: 0.5rem, 1rem, 1.5rem, 2rem, 3rem, 4rem |
| 201 | +- Container max-width: 1200px |
| 202 | +- Section padding: 4rem vertical |
| 203 | + |
| 204 | +## Browser Support |
| 205 | + |
| 206 | +- Chrome (latest) |
| 207 | +- Firefox (latest) |
| 208 | +- Safari (latest) |
| 209 | +- Edge (latest) |
| 210 | + |
| 211 | +## Performance Considerations |
| 212 | + |
| 213 | +1. **Minimal JavaScript**: Only essential JS for interactivity |
| 214 | +2. **CSS Animations**: Use `transform` and `opacity` for 60fps |
| 215 | +3. **Lazy Loading**: Images use native lazy loading |
| 216 | +4. **Bundle Size**: Vite optimizes and minifies production build |
| 217 | +5. **Canvas Optimization**: Neural network animation uses RAF and throttling |
| 218 | + |
| 219 | +## Accessibility |
| 220 | + |
| 221 | +- WCAG 2.1 AA compliant |
| 222 | +- Keyboard navigation support |
| 223 | +- Screen reader friendly |
| 224 | +- Sufficient color contrast |
| 225 | +- Focus indicators on interactive elements |
| 226 | + |
| 227 | +## Common Tasks |
| 228 | + |
| 229 | +### Adding a New Project |
| 230 | + |
| 231 | +1. Edit `src/content.js` |
| 232 | +2. Add project object to `projects` array |
| 233 | +3. Ensure category and technologies are correct |
| 234 | +4. Test filtering functionality |
| 235 | +5. Commit and push to `source` branch |
| 236 | + |
| 237 | +### Updating Styles |
| 238 | + |
| 239 | +1. Edit `src/styles.css` |
| 240 | +2. Use existing CSS custom properties |
| 241 | +3. Test responsiveness (mobile, tablet, desktop) |
| 242 | +4. Run `pnpm lint:fix` before committing |
| 243 | + |
| 244 | +### Modifying Animations |
| 245 | + |
| 246 | +1. Edit `src/neural-network.js` for background |
| 247 | +2. Edit `src/dynamic-content.js` for scroll animations |
| 248 | +3. Test performance (60fps target) |
| 249 | +4. Ensure animations are accessible (respect `prefers-reduced-motion`) |
| 250 | + |
| 251 | +## Troubleshooting |
| 252 | + |
| 253 | +### Build Errors |
| 254 | + |
