What is CodeSandbox?
CodeSandbox is an online development environment designed to streamline the creation, sharing, and collaboration on web applications, particularly those built with modern frameworks like React. It offers a browser-based code editor and a suite of features that simplify the prototyping and deployment process.
Highlights
- Browser-based development: CodeSandbox runs entirely within a web browser, eliminating the need for local setup and configuration
- Sandbox-based workflow: Projects are created and managed within self-contained "sandboxes" that can be easily shared, downloaded, and integrated with version control systems
- Collaborative development: Multiple users can simultaneously work on the same sandbox, enabling real-time collaboration
- Template-driven project creation: CodeSandbox provides official templates for popular frameworks like React, Angular, Vue, and Next.js, allowing users to quickly spin up new projects
- Integration with developer tools: CodeSandbox integrates with platforms like Vercel and Netlify, enabling seamless deployment and hosting of web applications.
