With all of its advantages, Node.js plays a critical role in the technology stack of many high-profile companies who depend on its unique benefits. As this is more a benefit of JavaScript than Node.js specifically, we won’t elaborate further. The things we do on the web nowadays were hard to imagine just several years ago.īefore we dig into Node.js (“Node”) solutions, consider that applying JavaScript across the stack to unify the language and data format (JSON), would facilitate the optimal reuse developer resources. JavaScript’s popularity has brought with it a lot of changes. It has been modified to include recent sources and to align with our current editorial standards. The list can be found using this.Editor’s note: The English version of this article was updated on by our editorial team. All the languages have different id associated with it. So when one item is clicked, the corresponding listener gets triggered and we can call our desired editors. Here we have made one onClickListener for dropdown menu items. Our main code lies in the home-page.html and the code-editor resides in the texteditor.js. We have one drop-down menu where we can select the language and depend upon the language we will get our respective code editors. This is the webpage we are going to build.

Creating an online code editor front-end (this tutorial).

Deploy our Online Code Executor in Google Cloud.

Then we make a post request to the backend API and show output on the website

Frontend code editor, we can choose the language and edit and modify the code here.

API running on the backend server, which will take a piece of code and language as input and output the answer after running the code on the server.

Here I will make one editor that supports 3 languages C++, Java, and Python.Īdding more languages is also very simple.īuilding an online code editor and compiler can seem too complicated, but we can break it down into two pieces.

In this article, I will explain how I made my own online compiler using open-source code.
