Hello, guys in this tutorial we will learn how to make a website like CodePen, How to create a live coding playground
Prism js CDN
Prism Live ( Lightweight, extensible, powerful web-based code editor )
Today we will try to solve out below mentioned query.
- How to make a website like CodePen
- How to create Live Coding Playground
- How to create a live code editor for a website
- How to make a web-based compiler like code pen
First, we need to create three files index.html, style.css and App.js then we need to do code for it.
Website like CodePen Step:1
Add below code inside index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Live Coding Playground</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./assets/style.css">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=IBM+Plex+Sans:wght@500&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- Need prism CSS for highlight code -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./prism/css/prism-tomorrow.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./prism/css/prism-live.css">
</head>
<body>
<div id="coding_playground_outer">
<header id="playground_header">
<h1>live Coding Playground</h1>
</header>
<div class="page-wrap twilight">
<div class="boxes">
<div id="coding_area">
<textarea id="html" placeholder="HTML" class="prism-live language-html"></textarea>
<textarea id="css" placeholder="CSS" class="prism-live language-css"></textarea>
<textarea id="js" placeholder="javascript" class="prism-live language-js"></textarea>
</div>
<div id="code_output">
<iframe id="code"></iframe>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./assets/app.js"></script>
<!-- Need prism js for highlight code -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="./prism/js/prism.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./prism/js/prism-live.js"></script>
</body>
</html>Website like CodePen Step:2
Then we need to add code for style.css which code I provide in the below screen.
* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
outline: 0;
}
header#playground_header {
background: #1e1f26;
height: 65px;
}
header#playground_header > h1 {
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
color: #fff;
font-weight: 700;
height: 100%;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
font-size: 25px;
line-height: 35px;
font-family: 'IBM Plex Sans', sens-serif;
}
iframe#code {
bottom: 0;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 40vh;
border: unset;
background: #f2f4f6;
}
.prism-live {
min-height: 350px;
overflow-x: hidden;
width: 100%;
}
div#coding_area > div {
width: 100%;
border-left: 15px solid #555865;
}
div#coding_area > div:first-child {
border-left: none;
}
div#coding_area {
width: 100%;
height: calc(60vh - 60px);
min-height: 125px;
display: flex;
overflow: hidden;
border-bottom: 15px solid #555865;
}
div#code_output {
height: 100%;
}Website like CodePen Step:3
then we need to do code for app.js file
function compile(){
var html = document.getElementById("html");
var css = document.getElementById("css");
var js = document.getElementById("js");
var code = document.getElementById("code").contentWindow.document;
document.body.onkeyup = function(){
code.open();
code.writeln(html.value+"<style>"+css.value+"</style>" + "<script>"+js.value+"</script>")
code.close();
}
}
compile();| prism-tomorrow.css | prism.js |
| prism-live.css | prism-live.js |
