New playgrounds

If you'd like to see a specific programming language, database system, CLI tool or other software available as a Codapi playground — leave a comment!

Hi Anton! 👋 Spectacular work on codeapi 🎉

I am one of the developers of V Programming Language. I want V Language to be available as a codeapi playground. Please let me know if you need any help to implement it.

Hi Swastik, thanks for reaching out! I've added the V sandbox. You can try it out on localhost:3000 with the following example:

<pre><code>fn main() { println('Hello, world') }</code></pre>

<codapi-snippet sandbox="v" editor="basic">
</codapi-snippet>

Thanks! Is this built updated with every weekly release or every version release?

[nalgeon]

Updates are done manually, so definitely not every week :) I'll try to keep up with minor releases.

Ah, I see. Let me know if you need help with updates and more.

Hey Swastik, I've been thinking about writing a (shortened) interactive V tutorial based on the docs. Would you be interested in hosting it on the V site? Or maybe providing a link to the tutorial on codapi.org/try if you prefer not to host it it yourself?

[Delta456]

I will take a look into it soon.

Anton! Thanks for your work :) I would like to request support for R and for installing R packages for working with data and data visualization. Thanks again!

[nalgeon]

Sure! You can use templates to hide the boilerplate code and show only the relevant part.

[joe-chelladurai]

This is exactly what I was looking for! Very cool :)

[joe-chelladurai]

Hi Anton, I would like to request if codapi could have other popular R packages installed. I would like to request easystats gt and tidymodels. Thank you :)

[nalgeon]

Installed them. I'm not sure if they work well though: these packages seem to be huge and very memory (and cpu) hungry. If you encounter further errors, it would really help if you could provide the full source code of a program you'd like to run.

[joe-chelladurai]

They are working well so far and I don't get any errors. Thank you!

Hi! What about Git? I would love to be able to advanced Git in the browser and wonder if there's a way to do it using codapi

[nalgeon]

Could you please give a specific example of what you would like to do with git?

[jsjoeio]

it'd be cool to teach someone how to use git worktree in a little playground:

"Run the following command:

git worktree add ../hotfix

This will do X..."

Maybe this use case doesn't fit a codapi playground though 🤔

[nalgeon]

I think it's possible. I'll prepare the sandbox and let you know.

[nalgeon]

Done! Now you can use git in the shell sandbox. Note that only the /tmp directory is writable.

Here is a simple example:

cd /tmp && mkdir repo && cd repo

git init > /dev/null 2>&1

echo "hello, world" > message.txt
git add message.txt
git commit -m "add message" > /dev/null

echo "hello, world!" > message.txt
git commit -am "edit message" > /dev/null

git log

that's incredible!!!!!!

I'd really love to have JSONata playgrounds. Recently using it extensively for data transformations

Hey Anton, awesome work with codapi.

Would like to request Elixir. A perfect (public) use-case seems to be for the elixirbyexample.com guide, which seems to be a WIP at the moment (https://github.com/technusm1/elixir-by-example).

Let me know how can I help, new to elixir, but I can definitely find folks who would be willing to help.

[nalgeon]

Thank you, Bhupesh! Here you go: https://codapi.org/elixir. As for help — please spread the word among the Elixir developers.
