Dev Playground

This project was inspired as an alternative to RunJS, a commendable project. However, the limitations of its free plan, such as the restriction to 50 runs per day, prompted us to create a more open solution.

Dev Playground is a pre-configured project over vscode and the community version of console-ninja, designed to provide a more open and flexible solution, free from limitations.

By leveraging your local environment and the power of vscode and its extensions, you have complete control over your development experience. There are no restrictions on the number of runs, saving files, using external packages, managing multiple tabs, customizing themes, or installing extensions.

Console Ninja supports virtually any node application (starting from node v16.15.0). Ensure that your system uses a version above with nvm or volta.

Output

Run console-ninja and open the **show output` tab.

Run

Open terminal and run one of those commands:

Language	Command
JavaScript	npm run js <javascript file path>
TypeScript	npm run ts <typescript file path>
TypeScript	npm run tsx <typescript file path>

The ts command executes with Node.js using the --experimental-strip-types flag. In case of any issues, tsx serves as an alternative to execute TypeScript.
