Provide a VSCode instance in a sandbox

Deno Sandbox provides a sandboxed Linux microVM. This is useful for evaluating code that is not trusted or for testing code that is not safe to run in your main runtime.

Running sandbox.exposeVscode() spins up a full VS Code instance inside an isolated sandboxed environment and exposes its URL so you can open it in a browser. This is handy when you need a lightweight, disposable editor for demos, workshops, or remote debugging: you can provision VS Code on demand without installing anything locally, safely experiment with code inside a contained workspace, and tear it down automatically once you’re done.

import { Sandbox } from "@deno/sandbox";

await using sandbox = await Sandbox.create();

// Start a VSCode instance
const vscode = await sandbox.exposeVscode();

console.log(vscode.url); // print the url of the running instance
await vscode.status; // wait until it exits
