react-sandbox-editor
React components including a sandbox interpreter and editor
:warning: I do NOT recommend using this library in production apps as the bundle size is very large due to in-browser transpilation via babel :warning:
:fire: COMING SOON: A few years have passed and i'm remaking this library in a MUCH better way https://github.com/malerba118/react-esm-sandbox** :fire:
Overview
There are many hosted web playground solutions these days (CodeSandbox, JSFiddle, CodePen). CodeSandbox in particular has blown me away, props to Ives van Hoorne for putting it together. However, I've yet to find a good unhosted playground solution. The intent of this library is to provide a highly-customizable unhosted web playground solution so that in your React apps you can include web snippets as flexible React components and not as rigid iframes with embedded content.

Simple Usage
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { Sandbox, withDependencies } from "react-sandbox-editor";
const ReactSandbox = withDependencies([
"https://unpkg.com/react@16.6.0/umd/react.development.js",
"https://unpkg.com/react-dom@16.6.0/umd/react-dom.development.js"
])(Sandbox);
let App = () => (
<ReactSandbox
theme="solarized_dark"
scriptEditor={{
defaultValue: 'ReactDOM.render(\n <h1>Hello, world!</h1>,\n document.getElementById(\'root\')\n);',
mode: 'jsx',
readOnly: false,
wrapLines: false
}}
templateEditor={{
defaultValue: '<div id="root"></div>',
mode: 'html',
readOnly: false,
wrapLines: false
}}
/>
);
ReactDOM.render(
<App />,
document.getElementById('root')
);
Complex Usage

"https://unpkg.com/react@16.6.0/umd/react.development.js",

onClick={() => alert("Chip Clicked!")}
/>,
document.getElementById('root')

class App extends React.Component {
onTabClick = (event, tabName) => {
console.log(tabName);
};
onPlayButtonClick = (event) => {
console.log("Play button clicked!");

}
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById("root"));
Sandbox Execution
Under the hood, code is executed in a sandboxed iframe as follows:
<iframe>
<html>
<head>
<style>{stylesheetEditorCode}</style>
</head>
<body>
{templateEditorCode}
<script src={dependency1}></script>
<script src={dependency2}></script>
...
<script src={dependencyN}></script>
<script>{preScript}</script>
<script>{scriptEditorCode}</script>
<script>{postScript}</script>
</body>
</html>
</iframe>
Compatibility
Version 1.X.X requires react 15.X.X || 16.X.X and react-dom 15.X.X || 16.X.X
Version 2.X.X requires react >= 16.3.0 and react-dom >= 16.3.0
