support live editing

[nihgwu]

react-hook-form is a great library and I use it a lot, it would be nice to play with it while reading the doc instead of be navigated to another website, this PR is a POC for that, using react-runner

This is awesome. thanks for putting up the poc, I think we can introduce a button on the top right of that code and show those live update once user clicks on it.

@bluebill1049 some thoughts:

1. use real code instead of exporting as string, we can use raw loader to the same thing, for example https://github.com/nihgwu/gatsby-transformer-code, then it's easy to avoid errors and get intelligence support
2. Have you considered to migrate to NextJs or Docusaurus or Vite, right now the build time is super slow, I guess Docusaurus would be better for this case as it supports i18n and multi versions out of box
3. Regarding the layout, we can use a split view, left side for editing and right side for live preview

Depend on how much effort would be.

yes, we did consider moving to Nextjs but it's a big effort.

It's probably important to consider mobile as well.

Not a big effort I think but will improve the DX a lot, and we can benefit from editor's power

On mobile it will change to vertical view, same as here

Nice 👍

could we add a button here to toggle instead of showing it constantly? as it takes quite a bit of the viewport.

1. Click on a button (react runner)
2. show the live view

[nihgwu]

Of cause, do we need to keep the CSB button?
But if we toggle on the preview view, it will still take a lot of the viewport 🤷 and the view will jump because of different heights, anyway I'll try later

[bluebill1049]

I think we can keep both. Let's remove COPY, i think it's less useful for developers.

@bluebill1049 I think we can defer other todos for future PRs

Lazy loading of external packages like react-select react-redux

Don't won't to bloat the bundle size, so we should lazy load those packages, right now I just leave them uneditable

Work with previous versions of react-hook-form

I decided not to support that, we should encourage to use latest version
