This example demonstrates the minimal structure of a VizHub V3 visualization, rendering a centered “Hello World!” message in the browser. The code uses the exported `main` function, which receives a `container` DIV element and an options object with `state` and `setState`. It sets a fixed font size and inserts the text via `container.innerHTML` with inline styling. The example highlights the hot-reloading runtime environment, where the state starts as an empty object and updates follow immutable patterns.
AI-generated descriptionA blank slate starting point showing the "Hello World" for the VizHub V3 Runtime Environment, which supports continuous hot reloading with interactive widgets.
- There is no
index.html- that's what triggers the V3 Runtime - The entry point is the
mainfunction exported fromindex.js - The
mainfunction takes an argumentcontainer, a DIV that has measurable dimensions usingclientWidthandclientHeight - The second argument to
mainis an options object containingstateandsetState. - The state of the application is stored in
state, which is initialized as an empty object{}. - The
setStatefunction can be called with a function that uses the previous state to create a new state object using immutable update patterns. - For an interactive example, see Mouse Follower.
