New WordPress Sandbox Project Demos: Test-Drive Themes and Plugins in the Browser
WordPress Sandbox, an experimental project that uses WebAssembly (WASM) to run WordPress in the browser without a PHP server, has been chugging along steadily since Automattic-sponsored core contributor Adam Zieliński introduced it earlier this year in September. Zieliński published three new updates to Twitter this week, demonstrating the project’s potential to provide an in-browser IDE for plugin development along with a quick way to spin up a test environment for themes and plugins. In the first example, he shows how the project could be used to test-drive themes from WordPress’ Themes Directory right in the browser. Clicking the demo URL will launch a site with the Pendant theme active, but the theme can be changed to another from the directory by appending a different theme name to the end of the URL. All your changes made on the demo are private and disappear after a page refresh. With a few improvements, this could be transformative for previewing themes on WordPress.org. With WordPress Sandbox, you can test-drive themes from the directory right in your browser.For example, click here to try Pendant theme:https://t.co/nYDjXUAwLvYou can replace "pendant" in the URL with another theme from the directory. pic.twitter.com/OFGqimFd6c— Adam Zieliński (@adamzielin) December 7, 2022…
