import pink
import pink/attribute
import pink/hook

pub fn main() {
    // Create a new React component (we need this to use hooks)
    use <- pink.component()

    // Initialize a state (this is React's useState hook)
    let message = hook.state("World")

    // Create a box with a border and a text component inside
    pink.box([attribute.border_style(attribute.BorderSingle)], [
        pink.text([], "Hello, " <> message.value)
    ])
}
