Usage

import React, { useState, useCallback } from 'react';
import { InteractiveJsonEditor, jsonToEntity } from 'interactive-json-editor';

const TestApp = () => {
  // State Management
  const [entity, setEntity] = useState(jsonToEntity({}));
  
  // Output Management
  const [extractedJson, setExtractedJson] = useState('');
  const [error, setError] = useState(null);

  // Retrieve the JSON Object from the component
  const handleExtract = useCallback((json, error) => {
    setExtractedJson(json || '');
    setError(error);
  }, []);

  // Update the Entity State from changes within the Editor
  const handleChange = useCallback((newEntity) => {
    setEntity(newEntity);
  }, []);

  // Update the Entity State from external changes (i.e. textArea)
  const handleTextareaChange = useCallback((event) => {
    const newJsonString = event.target.value;
    setExtractedJson(newJsonString);

    try {
      const parsedJson = JSON.parse(newJsonString);
      // Convert parsed JSON back to the entity format
      const newEntity = jsonToEntity(parsedJson);
      setEntity(newEntity);
      setError(null);
    } catch (err) {
      setError("Invalid JSON: " + err.message);
    }
  }, []);

  // Customize the Theme
  const theme = {
    background: '#ffffff',
    text: '#333333',

  return (
    <div style={{ display: 'flex', flexDirection: 'column', gap: '1rem' }}>
      <div style={{ display: 'flex', gap: '1rem' }}>
        <InteractiveJsonEditor
          initialEntity={entity}
