JavaScript & TypeScript Editor: Write Modern Web Code
Edit JavaScript and TypeScript code with full IntelliSense, syntax highlighting, and browser execution. Perfect for web development, API testing, and learning.
Write modern JavaScript and TypeScript code with our online editor. Full syntax highlighting, IntelliSense, and instant browser execution make it perfect for web development and learning.
JavaScript vs TypeScript
JavaScript
- Dynamic typing - flexible but can lead to runtime errors
- No compilation step - runs directly in browser
- Widely supported - works everywhere
- Great for quick prototyping
TypeScript
- Static typing - catch errors before runtime
- Compiles to JavaScript
- Better IDE support with IntelliSense
- Ideal for large-scale applications
Modern JavaScript Features
Our editor supports all modern JavaScript features:
ES6+ Syntax
// Arrow functions
const greet = (name) => `Hello, ${name}!`;
// Destructuring
const { name, age } = user;
const [first, ...rest] = items;
// Template literals
const message = `User ${name} is ${age} years old`;
// Async/await
async function fetchData() {
const response = await fetch('/api/data');
return response.json();
}Classes and Modules
class User {
constructor(name, email) {
this.name = name;
this.email = email;
}
greet() {
return `Hello, I'm ${this.name}`;
}
}
// Export/import (ES modules)
export default User;
import User from './user.js';TypeScript Features
- Type Annotations: Define types for variables, functions, and classes
- Interfaces: Define object shapes and contracts
- Generics: Write reusable, type-safe code
- Union Types: Combine multiple types
- Type Inference: Automatic type detection
TypeScript Example
interface User {
name: string;
age: number;
email?: string; // Optional property
}
function createUser(name: string, age: number): User {
return { name, age };
}
// Generic function
function getFirst<T>(items: T[]): T | undefined {
return items[0];
}Code Execution
Our editor can execute JavaScript and TypeScript code directly in your browser:
- Run code instantly without compilation
- See output and errors immediately
- Test API calls and async operations
- Debug with console.log statements
Best Practices
- Use const/let instead of var
- Prefer arrow functions for callbacks
- Use async/await over promises.then()
- Enable strict mode for better error detection
- Use TypeScript for type safety in larger projects
