import {initializeBlock} from '@airtable/blocks/ui';
import React from 'react';

function App() {
    return (
        <div>Hello world 🚀</div>
    );
}

initializeBlock(() => <App />);
```

**Parameters:**
- `getEntryElement` (`DashboardOrEntryPoints`) — A function that returns your React Node.

**Returns:** `void`
