ContextView component for Stripe AppsDashboard only
ContextView allows apps to render next to Stripe content in a drawer so users can look at them side by side and share context.

These in-context modules allow the app to meet users in their existing workflows and provide contextual information and actions.
A user’s interaction with an app always begins with a view type called a ContextView
view. Each app must have a single ContextView
view (per viewport), which acts as the default view when the page loads (similar to the index.
of a website).
