# playjs README
Welcome to the "playjs" extension for Visual Studio Code! This extension offers a powerful JavaScript playground integrated directly within your VS Code environment, allowing you to write, test, and debug JavaScript code snippets quickly and efficiently.
## Features
The playjs extension enhances your coding experience by offering the following features:
- **Integrated JavaScript Execution**: Run JavaScript code snippets directly within a dedicated panel in VS Code.
- **Live Result Display**: See the results of your code execution in real time next to your code.
- **Syntax Highlighting**: Uses the Monaco Editor for rich text editing, complete with syntax highlighting.
- **Code Ligatures**: Supports font ligatures for a more readable code interface, using the popular 'Cascadia Code PL' font.
### Visual Example
Here is how playjs looks in action:
> Tip: Use short, focused animations like the one above to demonstrate your extension's capabilities effectively.
## How to Use
To use playjs, you can execute the command `playjs.runPlayJS`:
1. Open the Command Palette with `Ctrl+Shift+P` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd+Shift+P` (macOS).
2. Type `Run playJS` and hit enter.
This will open the playJS panel where you can start typing JavaScript code and see the results immediately.
## Requirements
No external dependencies are required for this extension. Just install and start using it!
## Extension Settings
playjs introduces several settings to customize your coding environment:
- `playjs.enable`: Enable/disable the playjs functionality.
- `playjs.showResultsInline`: Toggle whether to display execution results inline with the code.
## Known Issues
