| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This document summarizes all improvements and extensions made to the RH (Reactive HTML Framework). |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Summary |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +**Tests:** Increased from 28 to **68 passing tests** (+40 new tests, 143% increase) |
| 8 | +**Lines of Code Added:** ~2,500+ lines of new functionality |
| 9 | +**New Features:** 15+ major enhancements |
| 10 | + |

| 12 | + |
| 13 | +## 1. Offline Mode Support (embed_react) |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +**File:** `rh/generators/html.py`, `rh/core.py` |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +### What was added: |
| 18 | +- `embed_react` parameter for `build_app()` method |
| 19 | +- Embedded React and ReactDOM libraries (130KB) directly into HTML |
| 20 | +- Inline CSS instead of Bootstrap CDN when offline mode is enabled |

| 278 | +## Usage Examples |
| 279 | + |
| 280 | +### Creating an Offline App |
| 281 | +```python |
| 282 | +from rh import MeshBuilder |
| 283 | + |
| 284 | +builder = MeshBuilder(mesh_spec, functions_spec, initial_values) |
| 285 | +app_path = builder.build_app( |
| 286 | + title="My Offline App", |
| 287 | + embed_react=True # ✨ NEW! |
| 288 | +) |
| 289 | +``` |
| 290 | + |
| 291 | +### Validating Before Building |
| 292 | +```python |
| 293 | +from rh import MeshBuilder, validate_mesh |
| 294 | + |
| 295 | +# Validate first |
| 296 | +if validate_mesh(mesh_spec, functions_spec, initial_values): |
| 297 | + builder = MeshBuilder(mesh_spec, functions_spec, initial_values) |
| 298 | + builder.build_app(title="Validated App") |
| 299 | +``` |
| 300 | + |
| 301 | +### Using the CLI |
| 302 | +```bash |
| 303 | +# Quick start |
| 304 | +rh template -o calculator.json |
| 305 | +# Edit calculator.json... |
| 306 | +rh create --config calculator.json --serve |
| 307 | +``` |
| 308 | + |
| 309 | +### Debugging a Mesh |
| 310 | +```python |
| 311 | +from rh import debug_mesh, visualize_mesh |
| 312 | + |
| 313 | +# Quick visualization |
| 314 | +print(visualize_mesh(mesh_spec, initial_values)) |
| 315 | + |
| 316 | +# Full debug info |
| 317 | +debug_mesh(mesh_spec, functions_spec, initial_values) |
| 318 | +``` |
