Incremental Mounting

Instructions for embedding Vani components into existing applications via mount points.

When to Use

Use this when adding a Vani widget inside a non-Vani app or server-rendered page.

Steps

1. Create a Vani component with explicit updates.
2. Find or create a DOM mount node inside the host app.
3. Call renderToDOM(Widget(), mountNode) (arrays also work) and store the returned handles.
4. On host unmount/cleanup, call handle.dispose() for each handle.

Arguments

• mountSelector - CSS selector or id for the mount point (defaults to #app)
• componentName - name of the embedded component (defaults to Widget)
• cleanupStrategy - how cleanup is triggered (defaults to onUnmount)

Examples

Example 1 usage pattern:

Embed a Vani counter inside a React or server-rendered page using a div mount node.

Example 2 usage pattern:

Create multiple independent widgets with separate mount points and dispose them on teardown.

Output

Example output:

Created: src/widget.ts
Updated: src/host-integration.ts
Notes: Handles are disposed when the host unmounts.

Present Results to User

Explain the mount point, how handles are stored and disposed, and list file changes.
