Frequently Asked Questions
Does it need an internet connection?
Only to load the Monaco editor: your code runs inside the browser sandbox with no server involved.
Can I use Node.js or npm packages?
No. This is a pure browser runtime. Node.js APIs (fs, http, path) and npm packages are not available.
How do I see output?
Use console.log(). Any value logged or thrown is shown in the Console panel with a timestamp.
Is my code stored anywhere?
No. Code is never sent to a server. It runs locally and is cleared when you leave the page.
