How Do You Convert? Repository

This repository hosts the HowDoYouConvert conversion catalog and the SvelteKit front end that renders every calculator page. The work is split between a generated data layer (calculators_list.md + migrate.py) and the hdyc-svelte app that consumes that data.

Key facts:

• /calculators_list.md is the canonical registry of published conversions. Each row in the active table becomes a calculator page in the UI.
• migrate.py reads the registry and regenerates hdyc-svelte/src/lib/data/calculators.ts, so updates to calculations (or metadata like descriptions) must flow through the registry + generator.
• hdyc-svelte renders the homepage, category lists, and calculator routes (/[slug]) using the generated data, along with helpers in src/lib/data/unitDefinitions.ts for glossary blurbs.
• The Node/Svelte front end lives entirely in hdyc-svelte; use npm run dev, npm run check, and npm run build from that directory for development and verification.

Typical workflow:

1. Update calculators_list.md to add/adjust entries.
2. Run python migrate.py from the repository root to refresh hdyc-svelte/src/lib/data/calculators.ts.
3. Inside hdyc-svelte, run npm run check (and optionally npm run dev or npm run build) to ensure everything compiles before committing.
