CodeSandbox: Online Code Editor Tailored for Web Application Development
Live Collaboration
Edit sandboxes together in real time, Google Docs style. Use Classroom Mode to control who can make edits.
Jest Integration
We automatically run Jest tests and show the results with an intuitive UI.
Keybindings and Quick Actions
Use Keybindings and Quick Actions to execute commonly used actions more quickly.
Configuration UI
We show a UI for configuration files so you don't have to look up how the configuration is structured.
Export to GitHub
All sandboxes can easily be exported to a GitHub repository.
Static File Hosting
The development server will serve all files statically from the public folder, depending on the template.
Integrated DevTools
The preview window has integrated DevTools, like a console, test view and a problem viewer.
Private/Unlisted Sandboxes
patronYou can set a sandbox to private or unlisted to make sure others cannot see or find it.
[1]Externally Hosted Previews
You can open your sandbox preview with a separate URL, while still keeping Hot Module Reloading.
Monaco Editor
We use the same editor as VSCode, which gives us "Go to Definition", "Replace Occurences" and more!
Hot Module Reloading
Hot Module Reloading is built in, so you won't have to press refresh for every change.
Error Overlay
We show a user friendly error overlay for every error, sometimes with suggestions on how to solve it.
Automatic Type Acquisition
Typings are automatically downloaded for every dependency, so you always have autocompletions.
TypeScript
Thanks to Monaco we show TypeScript autocompletions and diagnostics for TS sandboxes.
Prettier
Code automatically gets prettified on save according to your own Prettier preferences.
Import with CLI
Export To Zip
You can always download a zip from your sandbox for if you want to continue locally.
