This technology enables you to build applications that previously required a server running.\n\nWebContainer API is perfect for interactive coding experiences. Among its most common use cases are production-grade IDEs, programming tutorials, next-generation documentation, or employee onboarding platforms.\n\n**The WebContainer API starter is the fastest way to explore the API**. Open it in StackBlitz editor:\n\n[![Open in StackBlitz](https://developer.stackblitz.com/img/open_in_stackblitz.svg)](https://webcontainer.new)\n\nor in Codeflow IDE, our full-fledged web environment:\n\n[![Open in Codeflow](https://developer.stackblitz.com/img/open_in_codeflow.svg)](https:///pr.new/github.com/stackblitz/webcontainer-api-starter)\n\nIf you prefer to develop locally, follow the steps below.\n---\n\n## Let's make the docs better!\n\nThank you for visiting this repository. We love our community and we appreciate your time.\n\nThere are numerous ways to contribute to docs:\n- **Share feedback**\n  - Each docs page features a feedback tool at the bottom - you can use it to let us know what you think!\n  - If you see something broken or think any section could be better or less confusing please [check if there's an issue for that already](https://github.com/stackblitz/webcontainer-docs/issues) and if not, feel free to [create one](https://github.com/stackblitz/webcontainer-docs/issues/new).\n- **Share ideas**\n  - We want our docs to be delightful. If you have an idea on an improvement, reach out to us on [GitHub discussions](https://github.com/stackblitz/webcontainer-docs/discussions).\n- **Fix typos**\n  - Use [Web Publisher](#content-updates-with-web-publisher) for a quick typo fix!\n- **Create demos**\n  - We'd like to help our users see more examples of using WebContainer API. Would you like to create a demo? Before you do, please reach out to us on [GitHub discussions](https://github.com/stackblitz/webcontainer-docs/discussions).\n- **Fix an issue**\n  - You see an issue with the docs platform you'd like to work on? Ask to be assigned to fix it. Before you start your work, please read our [contributing guide](CONTRIBUTING.md).\n- **Reviews**\n  - Please feel free to check existing PRs and issues. Share your loving feedback, help the other contributor approach the task in a better way, spot lurking bugs, errors, and mistakes. You can use pr.new to that end - in the URL of the issue or PR, swap \"github.com\" with \"pr.new\" to spin up the environment and the preview.\n\nThank you for making our docs better!\n\n### What makes good issue\n\nWhen creating an issue, please include:\n\n- a descriptive title,\n- a link to what this issue refers to (a page, an example, a section),\n- if applicable, a screenshot or screen recording,\n- explanation of why you think it is an issue,\n- if you have an idea, a possible solution,\n- ideally, external links that explain any advanced or lesser-known topics so others can learn from your issue.\n\nPlease raise issues in situations like the following:\n\n- confusing, overwhelming, or incorrect explanation,\n- outdated examples,\n- vague or missing content,\n- demo or page request,\n- compromised accessibility,\n- anything broken: demo, page, url, image,\n\nIf what you want to say doesn't really fall into actionable \"problem\" or \"improvement\", you can **start a new Discussion topic**. For example, feel free to ask:\n\n- Could we split this page into multiple smaller steps?\n- This navigation item doesn't fit where it is - could we move it somewhere else?\n- How could we make the docs site more (adjective)?\n\n---\n\n## Development\n\nThere are three ways to interact with this repository:\n- For **a small content update**, you can use [Web Publisher](#content-updates-with-web-publisher). \n- If you want **to explore and develop** this site, use [StackBlitz Codeflow](#developing-with-stackblitz-codeflow). \n- Alternatively, you can [run the docs locally](#developing-locally).\n\n### Content updates with Web Publisher\n\nUse Web Publisher for small content updates for a pleasant editing experience:\n\n1. Open the page on our [docs site](https://webcontainers.io), scroll down, and click \"edit this page\".\n2. Update the document in the editor on the left and see the rendered change in the preview window on the right.\n3. Once you're done, in the top right corner click on the green button that says \"Propose changes\".\n4. You will be redirected to a GitHub PR template page prepared for you to submit a PR.\n\n### Developing with StackBlitz Codeflow\n\nFor bigger content updates, we recommend you use Codeflow IDE, which will spin up the entire dev environment with a dev server running. When using Codeflow, please remember to commit and push your changes frequently.\n\n\u003ca href=\"https://stackblitz.com/~/github.com/stackblitz/webcontainer-docs\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display:inline\" src=\"https://developer.stackblitz.com/img/open_in_codeflow_small.svg\" alt=\"Open in Codeflow\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\nAlternatively, add “pr.new” to the beginning of this GitHub repo URL.\n\n### Developing locally\n\nYou can also explore and develop this site locally.\n\nAfter cloning the repository, run the docs site in development mode with:\n\n```sh\nnpm install\nnpm run dev\n```\n\n### Editor setup\n\nWe have already equipped this repository with the suggested extension ([Vue Language Features extension (Volar)](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Vue.volar)). Additionally, you can use [Volar’s Take Over Mode](https://github.com/johnsoncodehk/volar/discussions/471) (aka disabling the built-in TypeScript and JavaScript Language Features extension for the current workspace).\n\n---\n\n## Join our community\n\n- [Participate in a discussion](https://github.com/stackblitz/webcontainer-docs/discussions)\n- [Join our Discord](https://discord.gg/stackblitz)\n- Read our [blog](https://blog.stackblitz.com/) and see what we have been up to in our [monthly update posts](https://blog.stackblitz.com/categories/monthly-updates/)!\n- Share your StackBlitz projects on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/stackblitz)!\n- Reach out to our Developer Advocate on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/sylwiavargas) or via [an email](mailto:devrel@stackblitz.com) with your StackBlitz ideas, dreams, and wishes!","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fstackblitz%2Fwebcontainer-docs","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fstackblitz%2Fwebcontainer-docs","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fstackblitz%2Fwebcontainer-docs/lists"}
