Exploring the Code

This project is built with Elixir and Phoenix. Most of the functionality is powered by Phoenix LiveView.

Custom JavaScript is used for the code editor, though it's kept minimal. While Tailwind is installed, the styles are primarily written in custom CSS and will remain that way.

Using collections

Polo supports request collections by using NimblePublisher. Although Polo is designed to run on a local machine, you can share collections with others using Git.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Create a new folder in /priv/collections. The name of the folder should match the name of your collection;
2. Add a new markdown file to the collection folder. The name of the file will be how the request appears in the collections sidebar;
3. Follow the template below to create a new request:

<!--- The JSON represents the request attributes. It must match the `Polo.Client.Request` from the source code. -->
{
    "method": "get",
    "url": "https://animechan.xyz/api/random"
}
---
<!--- This block represents the documentation of the endpoint. You can use Markdown syntax here. -->
This endpoint returns a random quote from anime.

You can see some examples in /priv/collections/polo directory.
