TypeScript Playground - Run TS Code Online
Welcome to the DevsCurry TypeScript Playground, a full-featured browser-based development environment for TypeScript. Write, transpile, type-check, and execute TypeScript code instantly without setting up `tsconfig.json`, Node.js, or local compilers.
Interactive TypeScript Starter Code
Experiment with typed functions, array transformations, and console streaming right out of the box:
function fibonacci(n: number): number {
return n <= 1 ? n : fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2);
}
const sequence: number[] = Array.from({ length: 10 }, (_, i) => fibonacci(i));
console.log('Fibonacci sequence:', sequence);
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- In-Browser Type Checking: Powered by the official TypeScript compiler, catching type mismatches, missing properties, and syntax errors before execution.
- Modern Language Support: Full support for interfaces, type aliases, generics, union types, enums, utility types, and optional chaining.
- Client-Side Transpilation: Code compiles directly to ES2020 JavaScript in your browser and executes inside an isolated Web Worker for maximum privacy and performance.
- Monaco Editor: Rich code intelligence with type hover tooltips, error squiggles, syntax highlighting, and auto-indentation.
- Built-In Prettier Formatter: Automatically format TypeScript files according to industry standards with a single click or keyboard shortcut.
- Vim & Emacs Keybindings: Work with standard cursor controls or switch to complete Vim or Emacs emulation modes.
- Execution Protection: 10-second infinite loop timeout prevents browser freezes.
Popular TypeScript Examples & Patterns
Explore real-world TypeScript patterns with ready-to-run code snippets:
- Interfaces and Generics in TypeScript – Write reusable, strongly-typed functions with generic type constraints.
- Enums and Numeric/String Constants – Define enumerable sets and map structured values.
- Type Narrowing & Discriminated Unions – Use typeof and equality checks to safely refine union types.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Is this TypeScript playground free to use?
- Yes, the DevsCurry TypeScript playground is completely free, requires no signup, and runs entirely in your browser.
- Does the playground check TypeScript types and report errors?
- Yes, your code is processed by the TypeScript compiler directly in the browser. Type errors and syntax diagnostics are reported before execution.
- How does TypeScript run in the browser?
- The playground uses the TypeScript compiler to transpile your TypeScript code to ES2020 JavaScript client-side, which then runs safely in a sandboxed Web Worker.
- Can I format my TypeScript code automatically?
- Yes, the playground includes an integrated Prettier TypeScript formatter. Press Ctrl+S / Cmd+S or click the Format button to tidy your code.
- Can I switch between TypeScript and JavaScript without losing my code?
- Yes, each language maintains its own independent workspace and file tabs. Switching tabs keeps your work intact and auto-saved.
