Code Samples (cURL / JavaScript / Python)

Every endpoint page shows request code in three languages. None of it is stored statically. Pure generator functions transform an ApiSpec into each language's snippet on demand — so the samples can never drift from the spec.

Where the generators live

src/lib/docs/code-samples.ts — pure and dependency-free (imports only the spec types, the resolvers, and DEFAULT_BASE_URL), so it unit-tests cleanly and is SSR-safe.

export type SampleLang = "curl" | "javascript" | "python";

export const sampleFor = (spec: ApiSpec, lang: SampleLang): string => {
	switch (lang) {
		case "curl":       return toCurl(spec);
		case "javascript": return toJsFetch(spec);
		case "python":     return toPython(spec);
	}
};

Generator	Output
toCurl(spec)	curl --request <METHOD> --url '<url>' --header '…' --data '<json>'
toJsFetch(spec)	await fetch('<url>', { method, headers, body: JSON.stringify(…) })
toPython(spec)	import requests … requests.<method>(url, json=payload, headers=headers)

Inputs — all from the single source of truth

The generators pull every value through the shared resolvers, so the common params and the auth headers appear without being declared per endpoint:

• resolveHeaders() → the auth header set.
• resolveRequestParams(spec) → common + endpoint params, each with its resolved in (common params are query on a GET, body otherwise).
• resolveEndpointUrl(spec, overrides?) → substitutes {path_param} tokens, appends an in:"query" query string (so GET URLs carry ?initiator_id=…), and prefixes DEFAULT_BASE_URL.
• hasBody(spec) → method !== "GET" and the generated body is non-empty.
• buildSampleRequest(spec) → the request body example (override or generated).

export const resolveEndpointUrl = (spec, overrides?) => {
	const params = resolveRequestParams(spec);
	let path = spec.path;
	for (const p of params.filter((p) => p.in === "path"))
		path = path.replace(`{${p.name}}`, urlValue(overrides?.[p.name] ?? p.example, p.name));
	let url = `${DEFAULT_BASE_URL}${path}`;
	const query = params.filter((p) => p.in === "query");
	if (query.length)
		url += "?" + query
			.map((p) => `${encodeURIComponent(p.name)}=${encodeURIComponent(urlValue(overrides?.[p.name] ?? p.example, p.name))}`)
			.join("&");
	return url;
};

pyDict() renders a JS value as a Python literal (true→True, null→None, nested dicts/lists with indentation) for the Python sample.

Secrets are never emitted

Auth header values that must be computed/signed per request are rendered as obvious placeholder tokens, never real secrets:

const HEADER_PLACEHOLDER: Record<string, string> = {
	developer_key: "<your_developer_key>",
	"secret-key": "<computed_secret_key>",
	"secret-key-timestamp": "<timestamp_ms>",
	"content-type": "application/json",
};

The live "Try it" console substitutes the real, locally-signed values at send time (see try-it-now.md) — the static samples stay placeholder-only.

Where they render

src/components/docs/CodeSamples.tsx (the right rail):

1. DocDetailPage passes spec to <CodeSamples spec=… />.
2. State lang defaults to "curl"; sampleFor(spec, lang) produces the string.
3. Language tabs call setLang() → re-render with the new snippet.
4. <NumberedCode> shows line-numbered code with a copy button; a "Test Request" button calls onTest(path, method), which opens the Scalar "Try it" modal (see try-it-now.md).
5. A second card renders spec.sampleSuccessResponse as line-numbered JSON.

When generation happens

• Runtime: regenerated client-side on each tab switch — pure functions, no fetch, instant.
• Build time: the same module is SSR-safe and importable by Node. Note the Markdown twins (../markdown-generation.md) embed the request/response JSON examples, not these per-language snippets.
