```

---

## Python API Usage

### Loading the Slang Database

```python
from pyass import get_slang_db
db = get_slang_db()
print(f"Loaded {len(db.entries)} slang terms!")
```

### Looking Up a Term

```python
entry = db.get("rizz")
if entry:
		print(entry.term, entry.definition)
else:
		print("Term not found!")
```

### Advanced Search

```python
from pyass.core.models import SlangFilter
filter = SlangFilter(term_contains="sus", min_popularity=50, vibe_tags=["meme"])
results = db.search(filter)
for entry in results:
		print(entry.term, entry.definition)
```

### Translating Text

```python
from pyass.engines.translator import Translator
translator = Translator()
text = "That party was good and funny!"
slangified = translator.translate(text, tone="meme", intensity=1.0)
print(slangified)
```

### Quizzing in Python

```python
from pyass.engines.quizzer import Quizzer
quizzer = Quizzer()
score = quizzer.quiz(num_questions=3)
print(f"Your score: {score}")
```

### Using the FastAPI Server

```bash
uvicorn pyass.api.rest:app --port 8000
```

Then visit [http://localhost:8000/docs](http://localhost:8000/docs) for interactive API docs.

## Advanced Developer Recipes

### 1. Building a Custom Slang-Powered Discord Bot

```python
import discord
from pyass.engines.translator import Translator

intents = discord.Intents.default()
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)
translator = Translator()

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
	if message.author.bot:
		return
	if message.content.startswith("!slang "):
		text = message.content[7:]
		slangified = translator.translate(text, tone="meme", intensity=1.0)
		await message.channel.send(f"Slangified: {slangified}")

client.run("YOUR_BOT_TOKEN")
```

### 2. Creating a RESTful Slang Microservice

```python
from fastapi import FastAPI, Query
from pyass.engines.translator import Translator

app = FastAPI()
translator = Translator()

@app.get("/slangify")
async def slangify(text: str = Query(...), tone: str = "meme", intensity: float = 1.0):
	return {"result": translator.translate(text, tone=tone, intensity=intensity)}

# Run with: uvicorn myservice:app --port 8080
```

### 3. Batch Processing Text Files for Slangification

```python
from pyass.engines.translator import Translator

translator = Translator()
with open("input.txt") as fin, open("output.txt", "w") as fout:
	for line in fin:
		slangified = translator.translate(line.strip(), tone="casual", intensity=0.7)
		fout.write(slangified + "\n")
```

### 4. Extending the Database with a Custom Script

```python
import json
from pyass.core.slangdb import get_slang_db

db = get_slang_db()
new_entry = {
	"term": "based af",
	"definition": "Extremely authentic or unapologetically true to oneself.",
	"era": "2024Q1",
	"region": "Global",
	"platform": "Twitter",
	"vibe_tags": ["authentic", "real"],
	"popularity_score": 90,
	"audio_reference": None,
	"is_offensive": False,
	"related_terms": ["based", "fr"]
}
with open("src/pyass/data/user_custom.json") as f:
	data = json.load(f)
data.append(new_entry)
with open("src/pyass/data/user_custom.json", "w") as f:
	json.dump(data, f, indent=2)
# Now reload the DB in your app
db.reload()
```

### 5. Customizing the CLI with Your Own Commands

You can fork or extend `src/pyass/cli/commands.py` to add your own Typer commands. Example:

```python
import typer
from pyass import get_slang_db

app = typer.Typer()

@app.command()
def stats():
	"""Show slang DB statistics"""
	db = get_slang_db()
	print(f"Total slang terms: {len(db.entries)}")
	print(f"Most popular: {max(db.entries, key=lambda e: e.popularity_score).term}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
	app()
```

## In-Depth API Documentation

### SlangDB API

#### `get_slang_db()`

Returns a singleton instance of the slang database. Loads all slang entries from JSON files and provides search, lookup, and reload methods.

**Methods:**

- `get(term: str) -> SlangEntry | None`: Look up a slang term by name.
- `search(filter: SlangFilter) -> List[SlangEntry]`: Search for slang entries matching filter criteria.
- `reload()`: Reloads the slang database from disk.
- `random(count=1, **filters) -> List[SlangEntry]`: Get random slang entries, optionally filtered.

#### Example:

```python
db = get_slang_db()
entry = db.get("rizz")
results = db.search(SlangFilter(term_contains="sus", min_popularity=50))
db.reload()
```

### Translator API

#### `Translator`

Translates English text into Gen-Z slang using the slang database and configurable tone/intensity.

**Methods:**

- `translate(text: str, tone: str = "casual", intensity: float = 1.0) -> str`: Translate text to slang.

#### Example:

```python
from pyass.engines.translator import Translator
translator = Translator()
print(translator.translate("That was funny!", tone="meme", intensity=1.0))
```

### Quizzer API

#### `Quizzer`

Provides interactive quizzes for slang learning/testing.

**Methods:**

- `quiz(num_questions: int = 5, adaptive: bool = False) -> int`: Run a quiz and return the score.

#### Example:

```python
from pyass.engines.quizzer import Quizzer
quizzer = Quizzer()
score = quizzer.quiz(num_questions=3, adaptive=True)
print(f"Score: {score}")
```

### REST API (FastAPI)

The REST API exposes all major features via HTTP endpoints. See `/docs` when running the server for full OpenAPI docs.

**Key Endpoints:**

- `GET /define?term=rizz`: Get definition and metadata for a slang term.
- `GET /translate?text=hello+world`: Translate text to slang.
- `GET /random?count=3`: Get random slang terms.
- `GET /quiz?questions=5`: Start a quiz session.

#### Example (with `requests`):

```python
import requests
resp = requests.get("http://localhost:8000/define", params={"term": "rizz"})
print(resp.json())
```

## Advanced Usage

### Adding Custom Slang

Edit `src/pyass/data/user_custom.json`:

```json
[
  {
    "term": "vibe check",
    "definition": "A spontaneous assessment of someone's mood or energy.",
    "era": "2022Q3",
    "region": "Global",
    "platform": "TikTok",
    "vibe_tags": ["mood", "energy"],
    "popularity_score": 85,
    "audio_reference": null,
    "is_offensive": false,
    "related_terms": ["vibes", "energy"]
  }
]
```

### Customizing Configuration

```python
from pyass.core.config import PyAssConfig
config = PyAssConfig.get()
config.default_platform = "Twitter"
config.save()
```

### Async Usage

```python
from fastapi import FastAPI
from pyass.engines.translator import Translator
app = FastAPI()
translator = Translator()
@app.get("/slangify")
async def slangify(text: str):
		return {"result": translator.translate(text)}
```

### Integrating with Other Frameworks

```python
import discord
from pyass.engines.translator import Translator
client = discord.Client()
translator = Translator()
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
		if message.content.startswith("!slang "):
				text = message.content[7:]
				slangified = translator.translate(text)
				await message.channel.send(slangified)
```

```

### Code Style & Best Practices

- Use modern Python (3.10+), type hints, and f-strings
- All models use [Pydantic](https://docs.pydantic.dev/) for validation
- CLI is built with [Typer](https://typer.tiangolo.com/)
- API is built with [FastAPI](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/)
- Tests use [pytest](https://docs.pytest.org/)

### Example: Adding a New CLI Command

Edit `src/pyass/cli/commands.py`:

```python
@app.command()
def stats():
		"""Show slang DB statistics"""
		db = get_slang_db()
		print(f"Total slang terms: {len(db.entries)}")
		print(f"Most popular: {max(db.entries, key=lambda e: e.popularity_score).term}")
```

### Example: Adding a New Slang Field

Edit `src/pyass/core/models.py`:

```python
class SlangEntry(BaseModel):
		# ...existing fields...
		meme_origin: Optional[str] = None  # New field!
```

Update the DB JSON and reload.

### Example: Writing a Test

Edit `tests/test_slangdb.py`:

```python
def test_get_known_term():
		db = get_slang_db()
		entry = db.get("rizz")
		assert entry is not None
		assert entry.term == "rizz"
```

---

## Architecture

### Main Modules

- `core/models.py`: Pydantic models for slang entries and filters
- `core/slangdb.py`: Loads, indexes, and searches the slang database
- `engines/translator.py`: Translates English to Gen-Z slang
- `engines/quizzer.py`: Quiz logic for CLI and API
- `cli/commands.py`: Typer CLI app and commands
- `api/rest.py`: FastAPI app for REST endpoints
- `data/`: JSON slang DBs (base and user custom)

### Data Flow

1. CLI/API calls into `slangdb` or `translator`
2. `slangdb` loads and indexes JSON data, returns `SlangEntry` objects
3. `translator` uses slang mappings and DB to transform text
4. `quizzer` pulls random terms and checks answers
5. `config` and `cache` provide settings and performance

### Extensibility Points

- Add new CLI commands in `cli/commands.py`
- Add new API endpoints in `api/rest.py`
- Add new engines in `engines/`
- Add new slang fields in `core/models.py` and update DB
- Add new data sources in `data/`

---

## Data Model

The slang database is a JSON file with entries matching the `SlangEntry` Pydantic model:

```python
class SlangEntry(BaseModel):
		term: str
		definition: str
		era: str  # Format: YYYYQn, e.g., '2023Q4'
		region: str
		platform: str
		vibe_tags: List[str]
		popularity_score: int  # 0-100
		audio_reference: Optional[str] = None
		is_offensive: bool = False
		related_terms: List[str] = []
```

**Example entry:**

```json
{
  "term": "rizz",
  "definition": "Charisma, charm, or the ability to attract a romantic partner.",
  "era": "2023Q2",
  "region": "Global",
  "platform": "TikTok",
  "vibe_tags": ["flirt", "charisma", "dating"],
  "popularity_score": 97,
  "audio_reference": null,
  "is_offensive": false,
  "related_terms": ["w rizz", "unspoken rizz"]
}
```

---
