The Material Editor is automatically remove from the production build based on the process.env.NODE_ENV.

To render the editor in production :

OR a custom env variable is available :

process.env.TME_PROD === 'SHOW';

In one terminal, run tsdx watch in parallel:

yarn start

In another terminal, run tsdx example:

yarn start:app // react -> localhost:1234
// OR
yarn start:vanilla // vanilla -> localhost:1234/vanilla.html
