# @flownet/react-app

This project is a simple, component-based web application framework built with React. It aims to provide a structured and easy-to-use environment for creating and managing reactive web applications. It leverages material design for aesthetics and incorporates a state management system to keep the applications responsive and interactive.

## How It Works

The application operates by initializing a container where the app interface is rendered. It uses a modular approach, allowing for an active form component to be set and displayed dynamically depending on the application's state. Essential styles such as fonts and icons are loaded when the application starts, ensuring a consistent look and feel. The state management system helps keep track of changes, such as the active form version, and renders the application accordingly.

## Key Features

- **Dynamic Form Management**: Easily set and update the active form within the application container.
- **Styling with Material Design**: Integrates material design icons and fonts for a modern UI.
- **State Management**: Utilizes a state management system for reactive UI updates.
- **Background Customization**: Offers the ability to set background images and colors programmatically.

## Conclusion

The @flownet/react-app provides a straightforward approach to building reactive and visually appealing web applications using React. With its focus on dynamic form management and easy styling integration, it benefits users looking to develop responsive and interactive web pages with minimal setup.


## Developer Guide for @flownet/react-app

### Overview

The `@flownet/react-app` library provides a framework for managing and rendering a dynamic React application environment. It allows developers to easily manage app states, dynamically load components or forms, and customize the presentation layer with background images and colors. The library utilizes React hooks and components to facilitate the integration of application-specific logic and UI appearance.

### Installation

To include `@flownet/react-app` in your project, you can install it via npm or yarn:

```bash
npm install @flownet/react-app
```

or

```bash
yarn add @flownet/react-app
```

### Usage

Below is a basic outline of how to utilize the core functionalities of `@flownet/react-app`. This example includes initialization, form management, and customizing the background.

```javascript
import React, { StrictMode } from 'react';
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
import { App } from '@flownet/react-app';

// Define a simple React component to act as a form
const SampleForm = () => (
  <div>
    <h1>Welcome to the Sample Form</h1>
  </div>
);

// Locate the container element in the HTML
const container = document.getElementById('app-root');

// Initialize the application
const myApp = new App();

async function startApp() {
  await myApp.init({ container });

  // Set the active form to the SampleForm component
  await myApp.setActiveForm({ form: SampleForm });

  // Set a custom background
  await myApp.setBackgroundImage({ value: 'url(/path/to/image.jpg)' });
  await myApp.setBackgroundColor({ value: 'lightblue' });
}

startApp();
```

### Examples

The following are concise examples that demonstrate the essential functionalities of the `@flownet/react-app` library:

1. **Initialization and Form Usage**

   ```javascript
   const appInstance = new App();
   appInstance.init({ container: document.getElementById('root') }).then(() => {
     appInstance.setActiveForm({ form: YourFormComponent });
   });
   ```

2. **Setting Backgrounds**

   ```javascript
   // Setting a background image
   appInstance.setBackgroundImage({ value: 'url(/images/background.jpg)' });

   // Setting a background color
   appInstance.setBackgroundColor({ value: '#FFFFFF' });
   ```

3. **Dynamic Updates**

   ```javascript
   // Changing the active form dynamically
   appInstance.setActiveForm({ form: AnotherFormComponent });
   ```

### Acknowledgement

The `@flownet/react-app` leverages third-party libraries such as React and Material-UI for seamless integration of UI components and state management, making it easier to develop scalable applications.
