Installation
Install it with npm install react-live or yarn add react-live and try out this piece of JSX:
import { LiveProvider, LiveEditor, LiveError, LivePreview } from "react-live";
<LiveProvider code="<strong>Hello World!</strong>">
<LiveEditor />
<LiveError />
<LivePreview />
</LiveProvider>;
How does it work?
It takes your code and transpiles it with Sucrase, while the code is displayed using use-editable and the code is highlighted using prism-react-renderer.
The transpiled code is then rendered in the preview component (LivePreview), which does a fake mount if the code
is a React component.
Prior to v3.0.0, earlier versions of the library used different internals. We recommend using the latest version you can.
| Version | Supported React version | Editor | Transpiler |
|---|---|---|---|
| v3.x.x | v17.x.x | use-editable | Sucrase |
| v2.x.x | v16.x.x | react-simple-code-editor | Bublé |
