Sandbox and Lab Environment

React, like any programming library, is best learned through hands-on practice.

Try this example using our editor:

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';

function Hello(props) {
  return <h1>Hello World!</h1>;
}

const container = document.getElementById("root");
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(container);
root.render(<Hello />);

If you want to explore more and host your project, we have a feature called Spaces that allows you to build, test and deploy static websites for free.

Here you get a secure sandbox environment called Spaces, where you can practice coding and test projects in real-time.

Spaces allow you to test, build, and deploy code. This includes a W3Schools subdomain, hosting, and secure SSL certificates.

Spaces require no installation and run directly in the browser.

Features include:

• Collaboration
• File navigator
• Terminal & log
• Package manager
• Database
• Environment manager
• Analytics
