Themeable live coding for React.

Overview

The Armo Breadboard is an innovative React component designed for developers who want to edit live React source code in real time. It’s a perfect tool for those who need to showcase their own code directly within their applications, offering a dynamic editing experience right on their pages. Implemented on reactarmory.com, this component ensures safety by restricting usage to personal code only, which enhances security by avoiding potential vulnerabilities associated with public submissions.

With three distinct Breadboard components—RawBreadboard, ComponentBreadboard, and MDXBreadboard—this tool provides versatility for various types of React projects. Whether you need to handle raw React code, import components, or compile Markdown into React, the Armo Breadboard has features tailored to your requirements.

Features

  • Multiple Breadboard Types: Choose between RawBreadboard for raw code, ComponentBreadboard for React components, or MDXBreadboard for Markdown documents, making it adaptable for different coding scenarios.

  • Live Editing: Edit your code and see the changes reflected instantly, allowing for a seamless development process right in your browser.

  • Customizable Themes: Create themes to suit different website designs without being constrained by default styles, as Breadboard components do not generate their own markup.

  • Theme Requirement: Each Breadboard component requires a theme object for rendering, providing flexibility in design implementation.

  • Require Functionality: Includes a customizable require function that determines how import statements are processed, enhancing compatibility with various coding styles.

  • Multiple View Modes: Supports different display modes, including source, transformed view, and console, to cater to different user preferences during coding.

  • Uncontrolled Components: Breadboards do not emit events on updates, keeping the implementation straightforward, though it welcomes contributions to enhance interactivity.

  • Integration Ready: Easily integrates into existing React applications, making it a practical choice for developers looking to showcase interactive code examples effectively.
