Test of JS Keyboard Events
This example demonstrates how JavaScript keyboard events can drive interactive visualizations in the VizHub V3 runtime environment. It listens for key presses and uses the container element’s client dimensions to render responsive updates, leveraging the V3’s hot-reloading and state management API. The code employs the `main` function pattern with `state` and `setState` to handle immutable state transitions, providing a template for integrating user input into data-driven graphics. No external libraries are used, relying instead on native DOM event handling and the environment’s built-in rendering loop.

- 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.
