React Live is a React library that renders React components with editable source code and a live preview, acting as an embeddable playground. It is modular, letting developers style and compose the editor, preview, and error pane components freely.
Use cases
- embed a live editable React code playground in documentation
- let users edit and preview JSX snippets in a docs site
- build an interactive component demo with live preview
- showcase React components with editable source code
- render multiple components with hooks using the noInline render function
- add a lightweight live coding editor to a React app
When to choose
- you need a lightweight, customizable live React playground embedded in your site
- you want modular editor/preview/error components you can style yourself
- you're building component documentation with interactive examples
When to avoid
- you need a full standalone IDE or sandboxed multi-file playground like CodeSandbox
- you need to run code in a secure sandbox against untrusted users
- your project is not React-based
