How this works

This playground loads the real, official TypeScript compiler (version 5.9) from a CDN and runs it entirely client-side — nothing is sent to a server. Your TypeScript is transpiled to JavaScript, then executed in a sandboxed function with console.log/error/warn captured and displayed below the editor.

Honest scope note: this playground uses TypeScript's transpileModule API, which strips types and compiles each file in isolation — it will catch syntax errors, but it does not perform full cross-file type-checking (that requires loading the standard-library type definitions and building a full compiler Program, which the official TypeScript Playground does). So code with a real type error — like assigning a number to a string — will still compile and run here, exactly as if you'd run tsc --noCheck. For full type-checking against your code, use the official Playground linked above.

Why 5.9, not the newest release? TypeScript 6.0 (March 2026) was the last version built on the JavaScript-based compiler; TypeScript 7.0 (shipped as GA in July 2026) rewrote the compiler natively in Go for roughly 10× faster type-checking. That's a major win for local tooling, but it means the newest compiler isn't currently distributed as a browser-loadable JavaScript bundle the way 5.x always was — so this playground uses TypeScript 5.9.2, the most recent version with an official browser-compatible build. The language syntax it accepts (interfaces, generics, enums, utility types, etc.) is unchanged by the 7.0 rewrite.
