# No as a Service (NaaS) - Multilingual Edition

A Sinatra-based web service that provides creative "no" responses in multiple languages, with full support for all Nordic languages and automatic language detection.

## Features

- **Multilingual Support**: 8 languages including all Nordic languages
- **Automatic Language Detection**: Via Accept-Language headers and URL parameters
- **Dual Format Support**: Serves both HTML (for browsers) and JSON (for APIs)
- **Random Responses**: Returns a random "no" response from curated lists per language
- **Modern Styling**: Beautiful glassmorphism design with language indicators
- **Health Checks**: Built-in health check endpoint for monitoring
- **Containerized**: Ready for deployment with Podman/Docker

## Supported Languages

- 🇬🇧 **English** (`en`) - Default
- 🇳🇴 **Norwegian** (`no`) - Norsk
- 🇸🇪 **Swedish** (`sv`) - Svenska  
- 🇩🇰 **Danish** (`da`) - Dansk
- 🇮🇸 **Icelandic** (`is`) - Íslenska
- 🇫🇮 **Finnish** (`fi`) - Suomi
- 🇫🇴 **Faroese** (`fo`) - Føroyskt
- 🏔️ **Northern Sami** (`smi`) - Sámegiella

## API Endpoints

- `GET /` - Returns a random "no" (HTML by default, JSON with Accept header)
- `GET /api/no` - Explicit JSON endpoint with language detection
- `GET /api/no/:lang` - Get response in specific language (e.g., `/api/no/no`)
- `GET /languages` - List all available languages
- `GET /health` - Health check endpoint
- `GET /*` - Catch-all that returns "no" for any other path

## Language Detection

The service automatically detects language preference through:

1. **URL Parameter**: `?lang=no` (highest priority)
2. **Accept-Language Header**: Browser language preferences  
3. **Default Fallback**: English (`en`)

Language family mapping is supported:
- `nb`, `nn` → `no` (Norwegian variants)
- `sv-*` → `sv` (Swedish variants)
- `da-*` → `da` (Danish variants)
- etc.

## Usage Examples

### HTML (Browser)
```bash
# Default language (auto-detected)
curl http://localhost:4567/

# Specific language via parameter  
curl http://localhost:4567/?lang=no

# Language via Accept-Language header
curl -H "Accept-Language: sv-SE,sv;q=0.9" http://localhost:4567/
```

### JSON API
```bash
# Auto-detected language
curl -H "Accept: application/json" http://localhost:4567/

# Specific language endpoint
curl http://localhost:4567/api/no/is

# With language parameter
curl http://localhost:4567/api/no?lang=fi

# List available languages
curl http://localhost:4567/languages
```

### Sample JSON Responses

**Basic Response:**
```json
{
  "answer": "Absolutt ikke",
  "language": "no", 
  "language_name": "Norsk (Norwegian)",
  "timestamp": "2025-06-06T12:00:00Z",
  "service": "No as a Service",
  "version": "2.0.0"
}
```

}
```

## Local Development

### Prerequisites
- Ruby 3.2+
- Bundler

### Setup
```bash
# Install dependencies
bundle install

# Run the application
ruby app.rb

# Or use rerun for auto-reload during development
bundle exec rerun ruby app.rb
```

The application will be available at `http://localhost:4567`

## Container Deployment

### Build with Podman
```bash
podman build -t naas .
```

### Run with Podman
```bash
# Basic run
podman run -p 4567:4567 naas

# Run in background with restart policy
podman run -d --name naas-service -p 4567:4567 --restart=always naas

# Run with custom port
podman run -p 8080:4567 -e PORT=4567 naas
```

### Docker Commands
The same commands work with Docker by replacing `podman` with `docker`.

## Environment Variables

- `PORT` - Port to bind to (default: 4567)

## Health Monitoring

The service includes a health check endpoint at `/health` that returns:
```json
{
  "status": "healthy",
  "languages_loaded": 8,
  "timestamp": "2025-06-06T12:00:00Z"
}
```

## File Structure

## Adding New Languages

To add a new language, edit `responses.yml`:

```yaml
xx:  # Language code
  name: "Language Name"
  responses:
    - "Response 1"
    - "Response 2"
    # ... more responses
```

Then optionally add language family mapping in `app.rb` if needed.

## Nordic Language Features

Each Nordic language includes culturally appropriate expressions:
- **Norwegian**: "Når kua flyger" (When cows fly)
- **Swedish**: "När grisar flyger" (When pigs fly)
- **Danish**: "Når svin flyver" (When pigs fly)
- **Icelandic**: "Þegar svín fljúga" (When pigs fly)
- **Finnish**: "Kun lehmät lentää" (When cows fly)

- **Northern Sami**: "Go vuonji liddjo" (When reindeer fly)
