Editing JavaScript code in real-time is possible in Chrome and Chromium based browsers.

Now open any Javascript file loaded on the browser and you can directly edit it by clicking anywhere in that file.

To execute JavaScript in a browser you have two options — either put it inside a script element anywhere inside an HTML document, or put it inside an external JavaScript file (with a . js extension) and then reference that file inside the HTML document using an empty script element with a src attribute.

if you don't want to explicitly create a js file but still want to test your javascript code, you can use snippets to run your JS code.

Follow the steps here:

  1. Open Dev Tools
  2. Go to Sources Tab
  3. Under Sources tab go to snippets, + New snippet
  4. Paste your JS code in the editor then run Command + Enter on a Mac, or Ctrl + Enter on Windows or Linux. You should see the output in console if you are using console.log or similar to test. You can edit the current web page that you have open or run scripts, load more javascript files. (Just note: this snippets are not stored on as a js file, unless you explicitly did, on your computer so if you remove chrome you will lose all your snippets);
  5. You also have a option to save as your snippet if you right click on your snippet.
