**paste is a simple web app for writing & sharing code.** It's my own take on conventional pastebin sites like _pastebin.com_ or _hastebin_.
|
||||
|
||||
Anyone can use paste! The official/public instance can be accessed using the endpoints listed below, but you can also [host your own](#host-your-own) if you like!
|
||||
##### 1) In a Web Browser
|
||||
Just go to https://pastes.dev!
|
||||
|
||||
##### 2) From the Command Line
|
||||
You can submit content using netcat.
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
# Pipe in some output from any command
|
||||
> echo "Hello world" | nc nc.pastes.dev 1337
|
||||
|
||||
# Upload the contents of a file
|
||||
> cat example123.txt | nc nc.pastes.dev 1337
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### 3) With the API
|
||||
Send GET/POST requests to `https://api.pastes.dev/`. More info [below](#pastesdev-api).

### About
|
||||
The frontend _(this repository)_ is written using the React framework. The backend data storage is handled by a separate web service called [bytebin](https://github.com/lucko/bytebin).
|
||||
|
||||
The user-interface is based on the [Monaco Editor](https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/), the engine behind the popular Visual Studio Code text editor. It's quite simple; it supports syntax highlighting, automatic indentation, many supported languages, themes, zooming in/out, linking to specific lines or sections, and more!

* The paste "key" is returned in the `Location` header, or in the response body as a JSON object in the format `{"key": "<key>"}`.

The API is powered by the [bytebin](https://github.com/lucko/bytebin) service, so more information about how it works can be found there.
