Further call to any SDK methods throws an error.
Example
import { createPlayground } from "livecodes";
createPlayground("#container").then(async (playground) => {
await playground.destroy();
// playground destroyed
// any further SDK call throws an error
});

format
• format: (allEditors?

Formats the code.
By default, the code in all editors (markup, style and script) is formatted.
To format only the active editor, the value false
should be passed as an argument.
Example
import { createPlayground } from "livecodes";
createPlayground("#container").then(async (playground) => {
await playground.format();
// code in editors is formatted
});

getCode
• getCode: () => Promise
<Code
>
Gets the playground code (including source code, source language and compiled code) for each editor (markup, style, script), in addition to result page HTML.
See Code for the structure of the returned object.
Example
import { createPlayground } from "livecodes";
createPlayground("#container").then(async (playground) => {
const code = await playground.getCode();
// source code, language and compiled code for the script editor
const { content, language, compiled } = code.script;
// result page HTML
const result = code.result;
});

Returns

getConfig
• getConfig: (contentOnly?
: boolean
) => Promise
<Config
>
Gets a configuration object representing the playground state.
This can be used to restore state if passed as an EmbedOptions property when creating playgrounds,
or can be manipulated and loaded in run-time using setConfig
method.
Example
import { createPlayground } from "livecodes";
createPlayground("#container").then(async (playground) => {
const config = await playground.getConfig();
});
Type declaration
▸ (contentOnly?
): Promise
<Config

Parameters

contentOnly? | boolean |
Returns
Promise

getShareUrl
• getShareUrl: (shortUrl?
: boolean
) => Promise
<string
>
Gets a share url for the current project.
By default, the url has a long query string representing the compressed encoded config object.
If the argument shortUrl
was set to true
, a short url is generated.
Example
import { createPlayground } from "livecodes";
createPlayground("#container").then(async (playground) => {
const longUrl = await playground.getShareUrl();
const shortUrl = await playground.getShareUrl(true);
});
Type declaration
▸ (shortUrl?
): Promise

Parameters

shortUrl? | boolean |
Returns

onChange
• onChange: (fn
: (data
: { code
: Code
; config
: Config
}) => void
) => { remove
: () => void
}
Runs a callback function when code changes.
Deprecated
Use watch
method instead.
Type declaration
▸ (fn
): Object
Parameters
Name | Type |

run
• run: () => Promise
<void
>
Runs the result page (after any required compilation for code).
Example

createPlayground("#container").then(async (playground) => {
await playground.run();
// new result page is displayed
});

runTests
• runTests: () => Promise
<{ results
: TestResult
[] }>
Runs project tests (if present) and gets test results.
Example

createPlayground("#container").then(async (playground) => {
const { results } = await playground.runTests();
});

createPlayground("#container").then(async (playground) => {
const config = {
markup: {
language: "html",
content: "Hello World!",
},
};

watch
• watch: WatchLoad
& WatchReady
& WatchCode
& WatchConsole
& WatchTests
& WatchDestroy
Allows to watch for various playground events. It takes 2 arguments: event name and a callback function that will be called on every event.
event name can be one of: "load" | "ready" | "code" | "console" | "tests" | "destroy"
In some events, the callback function will be called with an object that supplies relevant data to the callback function (e.g. code, console output, test results).
The watch method returns an object with a single method (remove
), which when called will remove the callback from watching further events.
See docs for details.
Example
import { createPlayground } from "livecodes";
createPlayground("#container").then((playground) => {
const codeWatcher = playground.watch("code", ({ code, config }) => {
// this will run on every code change
console.log("code:", code);
console.log("config:", config);
});
const consoleWatcher = playground.watch("console", ({ method, args }) => {
// this will run on every console output
console[method](...args);
});
const testsWatcher = playground.watch("tests", ({ results }) => {
// this will run when tests run
results.forEach((testResult) => {
console.log("status:", testResult.status); // "pass", "fail" or "skip"
console.log(testResult.errors); // array of errors as strings
});
});
// then later
codeWatcher.remove();
consoleWatcher.remove();
testsWatcher.remove();
// events are no longer watched
});
