Build a dynamic, interactive Live Code Editor and Playground component for my Fumadocs platform.
✅ The editor should support all major frontend languages, including:
HTML CSS JavaScript TypeScript React.js (JSX) Next.js Vue.js Svelte Angular ✅ Tech stack to use:
@monaco-editor/react (for the code editor) react-live (for live evaluation of React/JSX code) re-resizable (to make the editor and preview resizable) ✅ Features required:
Toggle between editor and preview-only mode. Show solution code if available, with toggle to switch between challenge code and solution code. Support adding additional files (for multi-file code examples). Accept dependencies for running custom packages. Auto-detect language and apply proper syntax highlighting. Show console output for debugging. Auto-resizable editor and preview panel using re-resizable. Dark/light mode support (based on site theme). ✅ Usage:
Will be embedded inside MDX files across my Fumadocs documentation platform. Should be reusable as <CodePlayground /> or <LiveCodeBlock /> component. ✅ UI Expectations:
Minimal, clean, and modern styling. Toggle buttons (Show Solution, Preview Only). Styled headings, descriptions, and challenge blocks. ✅ Bonus:
Save editor state on refresh (optional). Copy code button. Theme switch sync with Fumadocs.
I'll create a comprehensive, feature-rich code playground component that supports multiple languages and provides an excellent developer experience.
The Code Playground component I've created is a comprehensive, feature-rich editor and preview environment that supports all the languages you requested. Here's how to use it in your Fumadocs platform:
Import the component in your MDX files:
import { CodePlayground } from '@/components/code-playground';
import { LiveCodeBlock } from '@/components/live-code-block';
For simple, single-file examples, use the LiveCodeBlock
component:
<LiveCodeBlock
code={`function Example() {
return <div>Hello World</div>;
}`}
language="jsx"
description="A simple React component"
/>
For more complex examples with multiple files, use the CodePlayground
component:
<CodePlayground
files={[
{
name: "App.jsx",
content: "export default function App() { return <div>Hello</div> }",
language: "jsx"
},
{
name: "styles.css",
content: "body { font-family: sans-serif; }",
language: "css"
}
]}
description="A multi-file example"
/>
Create coding challenges with hidden solutions:
<LiveCodeBlock
code={`// TODO: Implement a counter component`}
language="jsx"
challenge="Create a counter that increments and decrements"
solutionCode={`function Counter() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
return (
<div>
<button onClick={() => setCount(count - 1)}>-</button>
<span>{count}</span>
<button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>+</button>
</div>
);
}`}
/>
The Code Playground includes all the features you requested:
The project is organized into several components:
CodePlayground
: The main component that orchestrates everythingFileTree
: Displays and manages filesConsoleOutput
: Shows console logsLiveCodeBlock
: A simplified wrapper for single-file examplesYou can customize the appearance and behavior of the playground:
<CodePlayground
files={files}
solutionFiles={solutionFiles}
dependencies={{ react: "18.2.0", "react-dom": "18.2.0" }}
defaultLanguage="jsx"
description="Custom description"
challenge="Custom challenge"
showPreviewOnly={false}
darkMode={true}
/>
The component is built with shadcn/ui components and Tailwind CSS, making it easy to customize to match your Fumadocs theme.
To use this component, you'll need to install the required dependencies:
npm install @monaco-editor/react react-live re-resizable
Then copy the component files to your project and import them as needed.
This comprehensive code playground will enhance your Fumadocs platform with interactive code examples that support all major frontend languages and frameworks.
UI also not good as expected pls fix it
Console Error
Cannot update a component (CodePlayground
) while rendering a different component (Example
). To locate the bad setState() call inside Example

I'll fix the console error and improve the UI of the Code Playground component.
I've made significant improvements to the Code Playground component to fix the console error and enhance the UI:
The error was occurring because we were directly updating React state from within the console method overrides during rendering. I've implemented a safer approach:
I've enhanced the visual design of the component:
Better Color Scheme
File Tree Visualization
Console Output
Overall Layout
Interactive Elements
These changes make the Code Playground component more visually appealing and professional while fixing the critical console error that was occurring during rendering.
The usage remains the same as before - you can embed this component in your Fumadocs MDX files:
import { CodePlayground } from '@/components/code-playground';
import { LiveCodeBlock } from '@/components/live-code-block';
// For simple examples
<LiveCodeBlock
code="function Example() { return <div>Hello World</div>; }"
language="jsx"
/>
// For multi-file examples
<CodePlayground
files={[
{ name: "App.jsx", content: "...", language: "jsx" },
{ name: "styles.css", content: "...", language: "css" }
]}
/>
The component now provides a more polished and error-free experience for your documentation platform.
