Spacing

# Single value (all sides)
padding=20

# Dictionary (specific sides)
padding={'top': 10, 'right': 20, 'bottom': 10, 'left': 20}

🔄 State Management

from dreamweb import State

class MyApp(App):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.counter = State(0)
        self.name = State("John")
    
    def increment(self):
        self.counter.set(self.counter.value + 1)
    
    def build(self):
        return Text(f"Count: {self.counter.value}")

🏗️ Build for Production

# In your app file, change dev=True to dev=False
if __name__ == "__main__":
    MyApp().run(dev=False)

This will create a build/ directory with:

• index.html - Your app's HTML
• dreamweb.js - Compiled and minified JavaScript

📖 Examples

Check the examples/ directory for:

• hello_world.py - Simple hello world
• counter_app.py - Counter with state
