<script type="module">
  import { createPlayground } from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/livecodes';

  createPlayground('#container', {
    params: {
      markdown: '# Hello LiveCodes!',
      css: 'h1 {color: dodgerblue;}',

Feature Summary

For details check the full list of features.

LiveCodes SDK

The Software Development Kit (SDK) provides an easy, yet powerful, interface to embed and communicate with LiveCodes playgrounds.

The SDK is provided as a light-weight (less than 5kb gzipped), zero-dependencies npm package, that is also available from CDNs. It can be used to create playgrounds with a wide variety of configurations and embed options. In addition, SDK methods allow programmatic communication and control of the playgrounds during runtime.

Installation

npm i livecodes

Usage

Example: (open in LiveCodes)

import { createPlayground } from 'livecodes';

createPlayground('#container', {
  config: {
    markup: {
      language: 'markdown',
      content: '# Hello World!',
    },
  },
  view: 'result',
});

The JavaScript SDK is framework/library agnostic. However, wrapper components are also provided for popular libraries (currently React and Vue). The SDK can be used in Svelte directly without wrappers. TypeScript support provides type-safety and a great developer experience.

React SDK example: (open in LiveCodes)

import LiveCodes from 'livecodes/react';

const config = {
  markup: {
    language: 'markdown',
    content: '# Hello World!',
  },
};
const Playground = () => <LiveCodes config={config} view="result" />;
export default Playground;

Vue SDK example: (open in LiveCodes)

<script setup>
  import LiveCodes from 'livecodes/vue';

  const config = {
    markup: {
      language: 'markdown',
      content: '# Hello World!',
    },
  };
</script>

<template>
  <LiveCodes :config="config" view="result" />
</template>

In addition, the SDK allows creating links to playgrounds:

import { getPlaygroundUrl } from 'livecodes';

const url = getPlaygroundUrl({
  config: {
    markup: {
      language: 'markdown',
      content: '# Hello World!',
    },
  },
});

console.log(url);

See SDK docs for more details.
