This enables JavaScripts projects to have live previews straight in the
browser without requiring any local configuration. This uses the
CodeSandbox package `sandpack` to compile it all inside of an iframe.
This feature is off by default and can be toggled on in the admin
settings. Only projects with a `package.json` and a `main` key are
supported.
Updates happen in real-time with hot-reloading. We just watch for
changes to files and then send them to `sandpack` to allow it to reload
the iframe. The iframe includes a very simple navigation bar, the text
bar is `readonly` to stop users navigating away from the preview and
the back and forward buttons just pop/splice the navigation stack
which is tracked by a listener on `sandpack`
There is a button inside the iframe which allows the user to open the
projects inside of CodeSandbox. This button is only visible on
**public** projects. On private or internal projects this button
get hidden to protect private code being leaked into an external
public URL.
