Description
Problem
No GitHub integration on website:
- Users don't know extension is open source
- No way to star/fork from website
- Missing community engagement
Solution
Add GitHub buttons using official GitHub API:
<!-- src/lib/components/GitHubButtons.svelte -->
<script>
import { onMount } from 'svelte';
let stars = 0;
let forks = 0;
onMount(async () => {
const response = await fetch(
'https://api.github.com/repos/ControlForge-Systems/controlforge-vscode'
);
const data = await response.json();
stars = data.stargazers_count;
forks = data.forks_count;
});
</script>
<div class="github-buttons">
<a
href="https://github.com/ControlForge-Systems/controlforge-vscode"
class="github-button"
target="_blank"
rel="noopener noreferrer"
>
<svg><!-- GitHub icon --></svg>
<span>Star</span>
<span class="count">{stars}</span>
</a>
<a
href="https://github.com/ControlForge-Systems/controlforge-vscode/fork"
class="github-button"
target="_blank"
rel="noopener noreferrer"
>
<svg><!-- Fork icon --></svg>
<span>Fork</span>
<span class="count">{forks}</span>
</a>
</div>
<style>
.github-button {
display: inline-flex;
align-items: center;
gap: 0.5rem;
padding: 0.5rem 1rem;
border: 1px solid #d1d5da;
border-radius: 6px;
background: white;
color: #24292e;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 0.875rem;
}
.count {
background: #f3f4f6;
padding: 0.25rem 0.5rem;
border-radius: 4px;
font-weight: 600;
}
</style>Alternative: Use GitHub Buttons Widget
Simpler but less customizable:
<iframe
src="https://ghbtns.com/github-btn.html?user=ControlForge-Systems&repo=controlforge-vscode&type=star&count=true&size=large"
frameborder="0"
scrolling="0"
width="170"
height="30"
title="GitHub Stars"
></iframe>Placement
- Header (right side)
- Footer
- Homepage hero section
- Documentation sidebar
