JavaScript Playground is a persistent in-browser code editor paired with a console output panel. Unlike a simple tester, it auto-saves your code to localStorage between sessions, accumulates run history, and supports Ctrl+Enter as a keyboard shortcut. Code runs in the current browser tab context using the browser's native JavaScript engine, so all modern ES6+ syntax and browser APIs are available.
How to Use JavaScript Playground
Write or paste JavaScript in the editor.
Press Ctrl+Enter or click Run.
See console output in the right panel.
Code auto-saves — return any time to continue.
Common Use Cases
- Experimenting with JavaScript algorithms and data structures.
- Testing array/object manipulation patterns before using in a project.
- Learning JavaScript with instant feedback on expressions and functions.
- Quickly verifying async behavior, closures, or prototype patterns.
Example Input and Output
A filter + map chain is written and run, logging results to the console.
const nums = [1,2,3,4,5];
console.log(nums.filter(n => n % 2 === 0).map(n => n * 10));[20, 40]Privacy
Code runs and is stored locally in your browser only.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my code saved between visits?
Yes. Code is automatically saved to your browser's localStorage after a short pause. It will be there the next time you open this page in the same browser.
Does it support async/await?
Wrap async code in an immediately-invoked async function: (async () => { const res = await fetch(url); console.log(await res.json()); })();
Is my code uploaded anywhere?
No. Code runs and saves entirely in your browser.
