🚀 Getting Started

Installation

Install the extension from the Marketplace
Open a .shep file or create a new one
Start coding!

Quick Start

Create your first ShepLang app:

Press Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+P (Mac)
Type "ShepLang: New Project"
Choose a template (Todo App, Counter, Contact List)
Start editing!

Try the snippets:

Type app + Tab → Create new app structure
Type data + Tab → Define a data model
Type view + Tab → Create a UI view
Type action + Tab → Define an action
Type button + Tab → Add a button
Type list + Tab → Add a list component

📚 Examples

Counter App

app Counter {
  data State:
    fields:
      count: number
  
  view Home:
    show "Count: {State.count}"
    button "Increment" -> Increment
    button "Decrement" -> Decrement
  
  action Increment():
    set State.count = State.count + 1
  
  action Decrement():
    set State.count = State.count - 1
}

Contact List

app Contacts {
  data Contact:
    fields:
      name: text
      email: text
      phone: text
  
  view Home:
    show "My Contacts"

🎯 Who Is This For?

✅ Non-Technical Founders

You have great ideas but coding feels like learning a foreign language. ShepLang speaks YOUR language.

✅ Technical Founders

Prototype faster. Validate ideas in hours, not days. Generate boilerplate instantly.

✅ Designers

Turn your designs into working code. Bridge the gap between mockup and MVP.

✅ Students & Learners

Learn programming concepts without syntax frustration. Focus on logic, not semicolons.

💡 Why ShepLang?

Before ShepLang:

// Traditional TypeScript
interface Todo {
  id: string;
  title: string;
  done: boolean;
  created: Date;
}

const todos: Todo[] = [];

function createTodo(title: string): void {
  const newTodo: Todo = {
    id: generateId(),
    title: title,
    done: false,
    created: new Date()
  };
  todos.push(newTodo);
  renderDashboard();
}

function renderDashboard(): void {
  // Render logic...
}

After ShepLang:

app MyTodos {
  data Todo:
    fields:
      title: text
      done: yes/no
      created: datetime
  
  action CreateTodo(title):
    add Todo with title, done=false, created=now
    show Dashboard
}

Same functionality. 70% less code. 100% more readable.
