React CodeSandbox

A React component is provided that allows you to programmatically generate codesandbox projects from code samples on the fly.

npm install @uiw/react-codesandbox --save

Usage

import React from 'react';
import CodeSandbox from '@uiw/react-codesandbox';

const code = `import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

const App = (
  <h1>
    Hello, {formatName(user)}!
  </h1>
);

ReactDOM.render(
  <App />,
  document.getElementById('root')
);`;

function Demo() {
  return (
    <CodeSandbox
      files={{
        "package.json": {
          content: {
            dependencies: {
              react: "latest",
              "react-dom": "latest"
            }
          }
        },
        "index.js": {
          content: code
        },
        "index.html": {
          content: `<div id="root"></div>`
        }
      }}
    >
