Usage Guide

Selecting Nodes

1. Open the application in development mode by running:

   pnpm dev

   or you can also use

   pnpm dev --turbo

2. Navigate to http://localhost:3000 in your browser.

3. Use the Node Tree tab to select a specific node or child component. Each node represents a distinct part of your layout that you can style individually.

Adding Nested Nodes

1. After selecting a node, add nested child nodes within it by using the options available in the Node Tree tab.
2. You can nest multiple layers, allowing you to create complex layouts with ease.

Multi-Node Selection and Styling

1. To style multiple components at once, use multi-select by holding down the modifier key (usually Ctrl or Cmd).
2. Apply any class or styling option, and it will instantly affect all selected nodes, making it easier to ensure a uniform design.

Modifying Layout and Color

1. After selecting the nodes, click on Layout or Color tabs.
2. These tabs offer various styling and layout options like padding, margin, color, etc., allowing you to customize each component visually.

Exporting Component Code

1. Once your design is complete, go to the Code tab to view the generated React component code.
2. Simply copy the code and paste it into your project for seamless integration.

Renaming Components

1. At the top of the workspace page, there’s an input field where you can rename your component.
2. Enter any name, which will update the component’s title in the export.
