📚 Usage

Basic Usage (Trait Editor)

import React from 'react'
import { TraitEditor } from '@holoscript/creator-tools'

export function MyCreator() {
  const [code, setCode] = React.useState('')

  const config = {
    type: 'material' as const,
    properties: {
      metallic: {
        name: 'metallic',
        value: 0.8,
        type: 'number' as const,
        min: 0,
        max: 1,
        step: 0.01,
        description: 'Metallic intensity',
        category: 'pbr'
      }
    },
    isDirty: false
  }

  return (
    <TraitEditor
      initialConfig={config}
      onCodeChange={setCode}
      theme="light"
    />
  )
}

🎓 Examples

Example 1: Material Preset

const materialConfig: EditableTraitConfig = {
  type: 'material',
  properties: {
    type: {
      name: 'type',
      value: 'pbr',
      type: 'enum',
      options: ['pbr', 'standard', 'unlit'],
      description: 'Material type',
      category: 'core'
    },
    metallic: {
      name: 'metallic',
      value: 0.8,
      type: 'number',
      min: 0,
      max: 1,
      description: 'Metallic intensity',
      category: 'pbr'
    },
    roughness: {
      name: 'roughness',
      value: 0.2,
      type: 'number',
      min: 0,
      max: 1,
      description: 'Surface roughness',
      category: 'pbr'
    },
    baseColor: {

      type: 'color',
      description: 'Primary color',
      category: 'appearance'
    }
  },
  isDirty: false
}

// Generated code:
// @material { type: pbr, metallic: 0.8, roughness: 0.2, baseColor: #ffffff }

const lightingConfig: EditableTraitConfig = {
  type: 'lighting',
  properties: {
    intensity: {

Example 3: Real-Time Monitoring

function PerformanceMonitor() {
  const [metrics, setMetrics] = React.useState<Map<string, PreviewMetrics>>(new Map())
  const [status, setStatus] = React.useState('idle')

  return (
    <div>
      <PreviewDashboard
        traitCode="@material { type: pbr, metallic: 0.8 }"
        onMetricsUpdate={(newMetrics) => {
          setMetrics(newMetrics)
          
          // Check if any device is underperforming
          const poorPerformance = Array.from(newMetrics.values())
            .some(m => m.fps < 30)
          
          setStatus(poorPerformance ? 'warning' : 'ok')
        }}
        autoRefresh={true}
        refreshInterval={1000}
      />
      
      <div style={{ marginTop: '1rem' }}>
