Introduction

Welcome to the OSC documentation! This comprehensive guide will help you get started with our community resources, understand our APIs, and learn best practices for contributing to open source projects.

OSC provides a rich ecosystem of tools, libraries, and resources designed to empower developers at all levels. Whether you're just starting your programming journey or you're an experienced developer looking to contribute to open source, you'll find valuable information here.

What You'll Learn

• How to set up your development environment
• Best practices for open source contribution
• API integration and usage patterns
• Community guidelines and standards

Installation

Getting started with OSC is simple. Follow these steps to set up your environment:

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed on your system:

Node.js (v16 or higher)
Git
A code editor (VS Code recommended)

Quick Installation

Install the OSC CLI tool globally:

npm install -g osc-cli

Verify your installation:

osc --version

Quick Start

Let's create your first OSC project:

// Create a new project
osc create my-project

// Navigate to project directory
cd my-project

// Install dependencies
npm install

// Start development server
npm run dev

Your project structure will look like this:

my-project/
├── src/
│   ├── index.js
│   ├── components/
│   └── utils/
├── public/
├── package.json
└── README.md

Configuration

OSC projects can be configured using the osc.config.js file in your project root:

// osc.config.js
module.exports = {
  // Project settings
  name: 'my-project',
  version: '1.0.0',
  
  // Build configuration
  build: {
    target: 'es2020',
    minify: true,
    sourcemap: true
  },
  
  // Development server
  dev: {
    port: 3000,
    host: 'localhost',
    https: false
  }
};

API Authentication

OSC APIs use JWT tokens for authentication. Here's how to authenticate:

// Get your API token
const response = await fetch('/api/auth/login', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    email: '[email protected]',
    password: 'your-password'
  })
});

const { token } = await response.json();

// Use the token in subsequent requests
const apiResponse = await fetch('/api/protected-endpoint', {
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`
  }
});

API Endpoints
