## Installation

```bash
# Install globally
npm install -g shadertoy2webgl

# Or use npx (no installation needed)
npx shadertoy2webgl [...]

# Or install as a project dependency
npm install shadertoy2webgl
```

## CLI Usage

```bash
# Using global installation
shadertoy2webgl [...]
# or
st2webgl [...]

# Using npx (no installation needed)
npx shadertoy2webgl [...]

# Example with multiple shaders
shadertoy2webgl MdX3Rr wdyczG DdcfzH

# Force overwrite existing directories
shadertoy2webgl --force [...]
```

## Library Usage

```javascript
import { shadertoy2webgl } from 'shadertoy2webgl';

// Convert a shader and get paths to generated files
const { html, js } = await shadertoy2webgl('shader-id');
console.log(html, js);

// Example with error handling
try {
const { html, js } = await shadertoy2webgl('MdX3Rr');
console.log('Generated files:', { html, js });
} catch (error) {
console.error('Failed to process shader:', error.message);
}
```

## Features

- Converts ShaderToy shaders to WebGL2
- Handles ShaderToy-specific uniforms (iResolution, iTime, iFrame, iMouse)
- Generates web-compatible HTML and JavaScript
- Zero dependencies
- Modern WebGL2 support
- ESM module support
- Works with Node.js >= 18

## Demos

We provide two sample demos showcasing different shader effects:

Plasma Effect

st2webgl wdyczG

demo/wdyczG/index.html

shadertoy.com/view/wdyczG

Abstract Waves

st2webgl DdcfzH

demo/DdcfzH/index.html

shadertoy.com/view/DdcfzH

## Output

The tool generates files in a directory named after the shader ID:
- `index.html`: A standalone HTML file with the shader
- `shader.js`: The WebGL2 shader code
- `shader.json`: Shader metadata and code

If any directory already exists, the tool will refuse to overwrite it unless the `--force` flag is used:

```bash
# Overwrite existing directories
shadertoy2webgl --force [...]
```

## Testing

```bash
# Run tests
npm test

# Run tests with coverage (requires Node.js >= 20)
node --test --coverage test/
```

The test suite verifies:
- Shader fetching and conversion
- File generation
- Error handling
- Output validation
- Uniform handling
