Modern JavaScript, written as TypeScript

• JavaScript is the programming language every web browser runs
• React, React Router and the other libraries frascati uses are written for JavaScript
• TypeScript adds types on top and compiles to plain JavaScript
• The same language runs in browsers and, with Node.js, on servers

frascati writes the code in TypeScript and JSX, the syntax React uses for markup. The preview compiles it to JavaScript in your browser, so the site appears while frascati writes it. The code can use React Router, Motion (framer-motion), Lucide icons, Recharts, Chart.js, zustand, date-fns, dayjs, axios, lodash, clsx, classnames, uuid, marked and DOMPurify. Nothing else can be imported inside frascati.
