The Editron Manual
Everything you need to know about building, deploying, and scaling your applications with Editron's intelligent environment.
Introduction
Editron is a browser-based integrated development environment (IDE) that brings the power of local development to the cloud. It combines the speed of a local editor with the flexibility of cloud computing, allowing you to code from anywhere, on any device.
Quick Start
Get up and running in seconds. Just navigate to the Templates page, select your preferred framework, and click “Use Template”. Editron will instantly provision a containerized environment for you.
Installation
Editron runs entirely in your browser, so there's nothing to install! However, you can install it as a PWA (Progressive Web App) for a native-like experience on your desktop or tablet.
Core Features
Monaco Editor
Powered by the same engine as VS Code, Editron offers a familiar editing experience with syntax highlighting, IntelliSense, and code navigation for over 40 languages.
WebContainers
Editron uses WebContainers to run Node.js directly in your browser. This means you can run servers, install packages with npm, and execute commands just like you would on your local machine, but with zero latency.
Authentication
Secure your projects with flexible authentication options. Editron supports GitHub and Google OAuth providers out of the box, ensuring your code remains private and secure.
Customization
Themes
Editron comes with built-in support for light and dark modes, fully customizable via the settings panel. The UI is built with Shadcn and Tailwind CSS, making it easy to adapt to your brand.
