```typescript
import {
    render
} from 'preact';
import './index.css';
import {
    App
} from './App';

render(<App />, document.getElementById('app')!);
```

```typescript
import {
    defineConfig
} from 'vite';
import preact from '@preact/preset-vite';

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [preact()],
});
```

--------------------------------

### Define Post Interface and Example Data (TypeScript)

Source: https://context7.com/erc7824/nitrolite-example/llms.txt

```typescript
import { type Post } from './data/posts';

// Post interface definition
interface Post {
    id: string;
    title: string;
    content: string;
    authorId: string;
    authorName: string;
    createdAt: string;
    type: 'Deep' | 'Quick';
}

// Example post data
const examplePost: Post = {
    id: '1',
    title: 'The Future of Web3 Development',
    content: 'Exploring the latest trends and technologies shaping the decentralized web.',
    authorId: '1',
    authorName: 'Alice Johnson',
    createdAt: '2025-01-15T10:30:00Z',
    type: 'Deep',
};
```

--------------------------------

### PostList Component Usage (TypeScript/JSX)

Source: https://context7.com/erc7824/nitrolite-example/llms.txt

Demonstrates the usage of the 'PostList' component within an 'App' component. It shows how to pass an array of 'Post' objects to the 'PostList' and includes basic header and main content structure for the dApp.

```typescript
import { PostList } from './components/PostList/PostList';
import { posts } from './data/posts';

// Props interface
interface PostListProps {
    posts: Post[];
}

// Usage in App component
function App() {
    return (
        <div className="app-container">
            <header className="header">
                <div className="header-content">
                    <h1 className="logo">Nexus</h1>
                    <p className="tagline">Decentralized insights for the next generation of builders</p>
                </div>
            </header>
            <main className="main-content">
                <PostList posts={posts} />
            </main>
        </div>

### Tip Handler Function and Button Implementation (TypeScript/JSX)

Source: https://context7.com/erc7824/nitrolite-example/llms.txt

Provides a placeholder 'handleTip' function intended for Nitrolite integration to process instant microtransactions. It also shows the JSX implementation of a 'Support' button that triggers this function when clicked.

```typescript
// Inside PostList component - Workshop implementation point
const handleTip = (post: Post) => {
    // Workshop: Implement instant tip functionality using sessionSigner
    // This sends 1 USDC to the post author via Nitrolite state channel
    console.log('Tipping post:', post.id, 'by', post.authorName);

    // After workshop completion, this will use:
    // - sessionSigner from Nitrolite
    // - WebSocket connection to Nitrolite RPC
    // - Off-chain state updates with on-chain security
};

// Button implementation in JSX
<button
    className={styles.supportButton}
    onClick={(e) => {
        e.preventDefault();
        handleTip(post);
    }}>
    ⚡ Support
</button>
```

--------------------------------

### Date Formatting Utility Function (TypeScript)

Source: https://context7.com/erc7824/nitrolite-example/llms.txt

A utility function 'formatDate' that converts a date string into a human-readable relative timestamp (e.g., 'yesterday', '3 days ago') or a standard locale date format if the date is older.

```typescript
const formatDate = (dateString: string): string => {
    const date = new Date(dateString);
    const now = new Date();
    const diffTime = Math.abs(now.getTime() - date.getTime());
    const diffDays = Math.ceil(diffTime / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));

    if (diffDays === 1) return 'yesterday';
    if (diffDays <= 7) return `${diffDays} days ago`;
    if (diffDays <= 14) return `${Math.ceil(diffDays / 7)} week ago`;
    if (diffDays <= 30) return `${Math.ceil(diffDays / 7)} weeks ago`;

    return date.toLocaleDateString('en-US', {
        month: 'short',
        day: 'numeric',
        year: 'numeric',
    });
};

// Usage
formatDate('2025-01-15T10:30:00Z'); // Returns: "yesterday" or "3 days ago"
```

```env
# .env.local
VITE_NITROLITE_WS_URL=wss://your-rpc-endpoint.com/ws
```
