Fork of Blank Slate
This example demonstrates the minimal "Hello World" pattern for the VizHub V3 Runtime Environment, showing a single line of text centered on screen. The code exports a `main` function that receives a `container` DIV element and writes HTML directly into it using `container.innerHTML`, with a fixed font size of 222 pixels. The rendering approach is plain DOM manipulation without any external libraries, highlighting the runtime's core API where the container's measurable dimensions and the `state`/`setState` options are available for future interactive extensions.
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.
