Improving the code

Got a feature idea or bug fix? Here's how you can contribute:

• Open an issue to share your ideas or report a bug.
• Send a pull request with your changes.

Adding a Snippet

The snippets database is located in the /snippets folder.

1. Find the relevant language folder.

2. Locate the appropriate category folder for your snippet.

3. Create a markdown file and add your snippet using the following format:

---
title: Name of the snippet
description: A short explanation of what the snippet does
tags: tag1, tag2, tag3
author: your-github-username
---

```lang
// Your code here
```

Here's an example for JavaScript:

---
title: Format Date
description: Formats a date in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format.
author: dostonnabotov
tags: javascript,date,format
---

```js
const formatDate = (date) => date.toISOString().split('T')[0];

// Usage:
console.log(formatDate(new Date())); // Output: '2024-12-10'
```

Expected file structure:

/snippets
    |- language
        |- category-name
            |- your-snippet-here.md
