📁 Contribution Structure

Single Button (Simple Structure)

Create a folder in /contributions/ with your GitHub username:

contributions/
└── your-github-username/
    ├── index.js          # Required: Button metadata
    ├── button.jsx        # Option 1: React component
    ├── button.html       # Option 2: HTML template
    ├── button.css        # Option 2: CSS styles (if using HTML)
    ├── button.js         # Option 2: JavaScript logic (if using HTML)
    └── README.md         # Optional: Description of your button

Multiple Buttons (Advanced Structure) 🆕

Want to contribute multiple buttons? Create subfolders for each button:

contributions/
└── your-github-username/
    ├── awesome-button/
    │   ├── index.js      # Button 1 metadata
    │   └── button.jsx    # Button 1 component
    ├── cool-button/
    │   ├── index.js      # Button 2 metadata
    │   ├── button.html   # Button 2 HTML
    │   ├── button.css    # Button 2 styles

    └── epic-button/
        ├── index.js      # Button 3 metadata
        └── button.jsx    # Button 3 component

🎯 Both structures are supported! The system automatically detects which structure you're using.

🛠️ Step-by-Step Contribution Guide

Step 1: Fork and Clone

# Fork this repository on GitHub, then:
git clone https://github.com/MRIEnan/clickhub_hactoberfest2025.git
cd clickhub_hactoberfest2025
npm install

Step 2: Create Your Folder

Single Button:

mkdir contributions/your-github-username
cd contributions/your-github-username

Multiple Buttons (Advanced):

mkdir -p contributions/your-github-username/your-button-name
cd contributions/your-github-username/your-button-name

💡 Pro Tip: You can create as many buttons as you want by creating separate folders for each one!

Step 3: Create the Required index.js

This file is mandatory for all contributions:

// contributions/your-github-username/index.js
const buttonMetadata = {
  name: "Your Button Name",
  author: "your-github-username",
  description: "A brief description of your button",
  type: "react", // "react", "html", or "vanilla"
  tags: ["tag1", "tag2", "tag3"], // Optional: relevant tags
  difficulty: "beginner", // "beginner", "intermediate", or "advanced"
  preview: "Brief preview text"
};

export default buttonMetadata;

Step 4: Choose Your Implementation

Option A: React/Next.js Component 🟢

Create button.jsx:

// contributions/your-github-username/button.jsx
'use client';

import { useState } from 'react';

export default function YourButtonName() {
  const [isClicked, setIsClicked] = useState(false);

  return (
    <button
      onClick={() => setIsClicked(!isClicked)}
      className="px-6 py-3 bg-blue-500 text-white rounded-lg hover:bg-blue-600 transition-colors"
    >
      {isClicked ? 'Clicked!' : 'Click Me!'}
    </button>
  );
}

Option B: HTML + CSS + JavaScript 🟡

Create three files:

button.html:

<button class="my-button" onclick="handleClick()">
  <span>Click Me!</span>
</button>

button.css:

.my-button {
  padding: 12px 24px;
  background: linear-gradient(45deg, #ff6b6b, #4ecdc4);
  border: none;
  border-radius: 8px;
  color: white;
  font-weight: bold;
  cursor: pointer;
  transition: transform 0.2s;
}

.my-button:hover {
  transform: scale(1.05);
}

button.js:

function handleClick() {
  console.log('Button clicked!');
  // Add your custom logic here
}

Step 5: Test Your Button

# From the project root
npm run dev

Visit http://localhost:3000 to see your button in the showcase!

Step 6: Submit Your Contribution

git add .
git commit -m "Add [your-button-name] by [your-username]"
git push origin main

Then create a Pull Request on GitHub!
