Fork of Blank Slate with Hot Reloading
This example demonstrates the minimal setup for a VizHub V3 visualization, showing a static "Hello World!" message rendered inside a container DIV. It highlights the runtime’s hot reloading capability, where changes to the `fontSize` variable are reflected instantly without a full page refresh. The `main` function receives the `container` and uses its `clientWidth` and `clientHeight` for layout, while storing application state in an empty object and updating it via `setState` with immutable patterns. No external libraries are used, relying on plain JavaScript and inline HTML strings for rendering.

- 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.
