File vs Folder Mode

Chai Studio allows two different mode of editing. You can choose to edit a single file or a folder of chai files.

File Mode

In file mode, you can edit a single chai file. This is useful when you want to edit a single file and see the changes in real-time.

Folder Mode

In folder mode, you can edit multiple chai files inside a folder. This is useful when you want to have consistent styling across multiple chai files.

Folder mode is useful when you want to integrate into your existing NextJS or integrate into your existing AstroJS projects. With file mode, you can open your project folder. Chai Studio will automatically detect all the chai files inside the folder and open them for editing.
