CodeSandbox overview

What is CodeSandbox?

CodeSandbox is a development environment for web applications that can be accessed with a browser. No setup is required, so it is possible to get started right away. Sandboxes can easily be shared with teams or colleagues and it is possible to create as many sandboxes as required. Using the live updates functionality, codes are immediately executed, which makes it possible to see results directly in the sandbox. Sandboxes can be linked to GitHub.

Official templates are available for Vue, Angular, React, Next, and Apollo, allowing users to start any new project quickly. It is possible to use community templates or create a custom one. CodeSandbox integrates with various developer tools, such as Vercel and Netlify. Sandboxes can be synched to GitHub. Key bindings and Quick Action functions make standard actions faster.

Containers can be used and it is possible to develop frontend and backend applications. Scripts and commands are run with a terminal built into the editor. CodeSandbox also offers public and private sandboxes. Sandboxes can be downloaded in a zipped format, so they can be worked on locally.
