The script uses multiple sources to fetch code examples:
-
Primary Source: CodeGrepper API
- Provides curated programming solutions
- Filtered for quality and readability
- Supports multiple languages
-
Backup Source: DevDocs API
- Used when primary source is unavailable
- Provides documentation examples
- Ensures reliable operation
The script automatically:
- Removes HTML entities
- Trims excessive whitespace
- Filters out error messages
- Ensures appropriate length for typing practice
The script works out of the box with no configuration needed. However, you can modify these variables at the top of the script to customize your experience:
const languages = ['javascript', 'python', 'java', 'cpp', 'typescript'];
const searchTerms = [
'sort array',
'find element',
'remove duplicates',
// ... etc
];
