Quick Integration Examples

1. Next.js Blog (3 lines of code)

import { protect } from '@daon/sdk';

// Protect content when publishing
const result = await protect(postContent, {
  title: post.title,
  author: post.author
});

console.log('🛡️ Protected!', result.verificationUrl);

Full example: ./nextjs-blog/

2. WordPress Plugin (1 click install)

// Automatically protects posts as they're published
add_action('save_post', 'daon_auto_protect');

function daon_auto_protect($post_id) {
    if (get_option('daon_auto_protect')) {
        daon_protect_post($post_id); // Done!
    }
}

Full plugin: ../wordpress-plugin/

3. Ruby/Rails (AO3 integration)

class Work < ApplicationRecord
  after_create :protect_with_daon
  
  def protect_with_daon
    work = Daon::Work.from_activerecord(self)
    Daon.protect(work.content, work.metadata, 'liberation_v1')
  end
end

Full integration: See ../AO3_INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md

4. Python/Django (2 lines)

import daon

# Protect content anywhere
result = daon.protect(content, metadata={'title': title, 'author': author})
print(f"🛡️ Protected: {result.verification_url}")

5. PHP/Laravel (3 lines)

use Daon\DaonClient;

$daon = new DaonClient();
$result = $daon->protect($content, $metadata, 'liberation_v1');
echo "🛡️ Protected: " . $result->verificationUrl;

Platform-Specific Examples

Fanfiction Platforms

Archive of Our Own (AO3)

# Add to Work model
include Daon::WorkMixin

# Automatic protection on publish
auto_protect_with_daon license: 'liberation_v1'

FanFiction.Net Integration

// Browser extension approach
const content = document.querySelector('#storytext').innerText;
const result = await daon.protect(content);
showProtectionNotice(result.verificationUrl);

Blogging Platforms

Medium Alternative

// Next.js with DAON protection
export async function publishPost(post: Post) {
  // Publish normally
  const published = await db.posts.create(post);
  
  // Add DAON protection
  const protected = await protect(post.content, {
    title: post.title,
    author: post.author,
    url: `https://yourblog.com/posts/${post.slug}`
  });
  
  // Update with protection info
  await db.posts.update(published.id, {
    daonHash: protected.contentHash,
    protectionUrl: protected.verificationUrl
  });
  
  return published;
}

Ghost Blog

// Ghost webhook integration
app.post('/webhook/post-published', async (req, res) => {
  const post = req.body.post.current;
  
  // Protect with DAON
  const result = await protect(post.plaintext, {
    title: post.title,
    author: post.primary_author.name,
    url: post.url
  });
  
  // Store protection info in Ghost
  await updatePostMeta(post.id, {
    daon_hash: result.contentHash,
    daon_verification: result.verificationUrl
  });
});

Academic Platforms

ArXiv-style Preprint Server

class Paper(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    content = models.TextField()
    authors = models.ManyToManyField(Author)
    
    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().save(*args, **kwargs)
        
        # Auto-protect academic papers
        if self.content:
            result = daon.protect(
                self.content,
                metadata={
                    'title': self.title,
                    'authors': [a.name for a in self.authors.all()],
                    'type': 'academic_paper',
                    'institution': self.institution.name
                },
                license='cc_by_nc_sa'  # Academic-friendly
            )
            
            self.daon_hash = result.content_hash
            self.save(update_fields=['daon_hash'])

Research Blog

// Protect research posts automatically
const protectResearchPost = async (post: ResearchPost) => {
  const result = await protect(post.content, {
    title: post.title,
    authors: post.authors.map(a => a.name),
    institution: post.institution,
    field: post.researchField,
    publishedAt: post.publishedAt
  }, 'cc_by_nc'); // CC license for academic use
  
  return {
    ...post,
    protection: result
  };
};
