Async/Await
async function fetchData() {
const result = await Promise.resolve("Data loaded!");
console.log(result);
}
fetchData();

const { name, age } = user;
console.log(`${name} is ${age} years old`);
Tips for Effective Use
- Use console.log liberally - Print intermediate values to understand execution flow
- Break down complex problems - Test small pieces independently
- Check for typos - Many errors come from simple spelling mistakes
- Read error messages - They point you to the problem location
- Test edge cases - Try empty arrays, null values, and unusual inputs
Security & Privacy
- Sandboxed execution - Code runs in an isolated environment
- No server transmission - Your code never leaves your browser
- No data storage - We don't save or log your code
- Safe environment - Protected from malicious scripts
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my code saved?
No. Code exists only in your browser session. Copy important code before closing the tab, or use your browser's local storage for persistence.
Can I use external libraries?
The basic editor doesn't support npm packages. For library testing, consider using our tool as a quick scratchpad and full IDEs for complex projects.
Why isn't my code working?
Common issues include:
- Syntax errors (missing brackets, semicolons)
- Undefined variables
- Async code without proper handling
- Browser API limitations in the sandbox
Is there a code length limit?
There's no hard limit, but very large scripts may affect performance. For substantial projects, use a proper IDE.
Does it support TypeScript?
This tool runs JavaScript only. TypeScript requires compilation, which isn't available in this tool.
Can I share my code?
Currently, there's no built-in sharing. Copy your code and share via other means like GitHub Gist or Pastebin.
