Frequently Asked Questions

What is a JavaScript compiler?

A JavaScript compiler transforms your JavaScript code into optimized, executable code. Unlike traditional compilers that produce machine code, online compilers like this one bundle your code, resolve imports, and transpile modern syntax (ES2026, TypeScript, JSX) into browser-compatible JavaScript that runs instantly.

Is Playcode's JavaScript compiler free?

Yes. The JavaScript compiler is a free browser-based coding tool: compile and run JavaScript, use npm packages, and see the live preview without paying. It is one of Playcode's supported coding tools. Playcode's main product, the AI builder that creates and runs websites and apps, is separate: it uses AI credits, with trial credits included and paid plans for more.

Can I use npm packages in the online compiler?

Yes. Import any npm package, such as React, Vue, Lodash, or Axios, and the compiler fetches and bundles it automatically. No npm install needed. Popular packages are cached, so repeat imports load fast.

How does the AI coding assistant help?

Every Playcode project includes the AI agent. In the compiler it can write code, fix bugs, explain errors, and help you learn JavaScript: describe what you want, and it generates working code across multiple files. AI work uses credits; trial credits are included to start.

Does the JavaScript compiler work offline?

The compiler keeps working offline once the page is loaded. It runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly, so you can keep coding without an internet connection. Your code is saved locally and syncs when you're back online.

What languages does the compiler support?

The compiler handles JavaScript (ES2026), TypeScript, JSX, TSX, and CSS. You can build React, Vue, Svelte, and vanilla JS projects. Transpilation is automatic, so you write modern code and it runs in any browser.

How fast is the online JavaScript compiler?

The compiler is optimized for speed. Initial compilation takes 100-500ms depending on project size. Incremental builds (when you edit code) complete in 20-50ms. That's often faster than running a local Node.js bundler because everything runs in memory with no disk I/O.

Can I publish my project to a live website?

Yes. Publish your project to a live URL with one click. No deployment setup, no hosting provider, no server configuration: hosting, SSL certificates, and CDN are included. Custom domains are available on paid plans.

Does Playcode support real-time collaboration?

Yes. Collaborators can edit the same project at the same time and see each other's changes live. Everything is auto-saved to the cloud, so you do not lose your work. The number of collaborators depends on your plan.
