PocketStudio

This is an interactive coding environment. You can write Javascript, see it executed, and write comprehensive documentation using markdown.

• Click any text cell to edit it
• The code in each code editor is all joined together into one file. If you define a variable in cell #1, you can refer to it in any following cell!
• You can show any React component, string, number, or anything else by calling the show function. This is a function built into this environment. Call show multiple times to show multiple values
• Re-order or delete cells using the buttons on the top right
• Add new cells by hovering on the divider between each cell

All of your changes get saved to the file you opened PocketStudio with. So if you ran npx pocket-studio serve test.js, all of the text code you write will be saved to the test.js file.
