// Sets up Yjs document and PartyKit Yjs provider.
const doc = new Y.Doc();
const provider = new YPartyKitProvider(
"blocknote-dev.yousefed.partykit.dev",
// Use a unique name as a "room" for your application.

doc
);
export default function App() {
const editor = useCreateBlockNote({
collaboration: {
// The Yjs Provider responsible for transporting updates:
provider,
// Where to store BlockNote data in the Y.Doc:
fragment: doc.getXmlFragment("document-store"),
// Information (name and color) for this user:
user: {
name: "My Username",
color: "#ff0000",
},
},
});
// Renders the editor instance.
return <BlockNoteView editor={editor} />;
