HTML preprocessors can make writing HTML more powerful or convenient. For instance, Markdown is designed to be easier to write and read for text documents and you could write a loop in Pug.
In CodePen, whatever you write in the HTML editor is what goes within the <body>
tags in a basic HTML5 template. So you don't have access to higher-up elements like the <html>
tag. If you want to add classes there that can affect the whole document, this is the place to do it.
In CodePen, whatever you write in the HTML editor is what goes within the <body>
tags in a basic HTML5 template. If you need things in the <head>
of the document, put that code here.
The resource you are linking to is using the 'http' protocol, which may not work when the browser is using https.
CSS preprocessors help make authoring CSS easier. All of them offer things like variables and mixins to provide convenient abstractions.
It's a common practice to apply CSS to a page that styles elements such that they are consistent across all browsers. We offer two of the most popular choices: normalize.css and a reset. Or, choose Neither and nothing will be applied.
To get the best cross-browser support, it is a common practice to apply vendor prefixes to CSS properties and values that require them to work. For instance -webkit-
or -moz-
.
We offer two popular choices: Autoprefixer (which processes your CSS server-side) and -prefix-free (which applies prefixes via a script, client-side).
Any URL's added here will be added as <link>
s in order, and before the CSS in the editor. You can use the CSS from another Pen by using it's URL and the proper URL extention.
You can apply CSS to your Pen from any stylesheet on the web. Just put a URL to it here and we'll apply it, in the order you have them, before the CSS in the Pen itself.
You can also link to another Pen here (use the .css
URL Extension) and we'll pull the CSS from that Pen and include it. If it's using a matching preprocessor, use the appropriate URL Extension and we'll combine the code before preprocessing, so you can use the linked Pen as a true dependency.
JavaScript preprocessors can help make authoring JavaScript easier and more convenient.
Babel includes JSX processing.
Any URL's added here will be added as <script>
s in order, and run before the JavaScript in the editor. You can use the URL of any other Pen and it will include the JavaScript from that Pen.
You can apply a script from anywhere on the web to your Pen. Just put a URL to it here and we'll add it, in the order you have them, before the JavaScript in the Pen itself.
If the script you link to has the file extension of a preprocessor, we'll attempt to process it before applying.
You can also link to another Pen here, and we'll pull the JavaScript from that Pen and include it. If it's using a matching preprocessor, we'll combine the code before preprocessing, so you can use the linked Pen as a true dependency.
Search for and use JavaScript packages from npm here. By selecting a package, an import
statement will be added to the top of the JavaScript editor for this package.
Using packages here is powered by Skypack, which makes packages from npm not only available on a CDN, but prepares them for native JavaScript ES6 import
usage.
All packages are different, so refer to their docs for how they work.
If you're using React / ReactDOM, make sure to turn on Babel for the JSX processing.
If active, Pens will autosave every 30 seconds after being saved once.
If enabled, the preview panel updates automatically as you code. If disabled, use the "Run" button to update.
If enabled, your code will be formatted when you actively save your Pen. Note: your code becomes un-folded during formatting.

//String.matchAll
//Performs a regular expression match of the String representing the this value against regexp and returns an iterator. Each iteration result's value is an Array object containing the results of the match, or null if the String did not match.
// https://262.ecma-international.org/11.0/#sec-string.prototype.matchall
const regex = /title: ([a-zA-Z]+)/g; //find everything matching 'title: ' then letters
const text = 'title: Doctor Aubrey Schivers title: Mr. Ted Nugent title: Honorable Barry Manilow';
console.log('String.matchAll Example');
[...text.matchAll(regex)].forEach(m => {

//BigInt
//A new number primitive for working with arbitrary precision integers;It can hold substantially bigger numbers than the standard Number type (whose limit is 2ˆ53, represented by the Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER constant.This limit depends on each implementation enviroment.
// https://262.ecma-international.org/11.0/#sec-ecmascript-language-types-bigint-type
//BigInt number by appending a n
// Can be represented as 21654976586765468794645n or BigInt('21654976586765468794645')
//or directly initialize
console.log('BigInt Example')
const bigIntNumber = BigInt('17265892712658927912712189129121727918');
console.log(typeof bigIntNumber); //Outputs => bigint
//You can’t mix BigInts and numbers
//globalThis
//A universal way to access the global this value; In the browser, global is window. Node.js calls it global. Web workers, call it self. ECMAScript 2020 makes it easier to access this object by providing a globalThis variable:
// https://262.ecma-international.org/11.0/#sec-globalthis
// In the browser
console.log('globalThis Example')
console.log(globalThis === window); // => true
// In Node.js
//console.log(globalThis === global); // => true
// In a web worker
//console.log(globalThis === self); // => true
//Promise.allSettled:
//A new Promise combinator that does not short-circuit;The allSettled function returns a promise that is fulfilled with an array of promise state snapshots, but only after all the original promises have settled, i.e. become either fulfilled or rejected. It resolves all elements of the passed iterable to promises as it runs this algorithm. The result of B will be an array containing the results of all promises in A. Promise.allSettled is very similar to Promise.all, but the Promise.all fails if some of the supplied promises is rejected, while Promise.allSettled resolves no matter what.
// https://262.ecma-international.org/11.0/#sec-promise.allsettled
const myPromiseA = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(() => {
resolve('foo');
reject('nooo');
}, 300);
});
const myPromiseB = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(() => {
resolve('foo');
reject('nooo');
}, 1300);
});
//Takes an array of Promises
const roles = Promise.allSettled([myPromiseA, myPromiseB]);
roles.then((r) => {
console.log('Promise.allSettled Example')
console.log(r)
})
//Nullish coalescing, a value selection operator; usage is identical to the OR operator but it only defaults to the second operand in case the first one is null or undefined
// https://262.ecma-international.org/11.0/#prod-CoalesceExpression
console.log('Nulllish Coalescing Example');
//Instead of const pageTitle = title || 'No Page Title';
const title = null; //Set to '' empty string to see it return the empty value rather than the default
const pageTitle = title ?? 'No Page Title'; //ONLY defaults if titel is null or undefined
console.log(pageTitle); //Outputs 'No Page Title' default value
//Optional chaining, a property access and function invocation operator that short-circuits if the value to access/invoke is nullish.
// Uses the nullish ? operator similar to typescript to identify props that may not be defined and returns undefined instead of error.
// https://262.ecma-international.org/11.0/#prod-OptionalChain
console.log('Optional Chaining Example');
