Goodbye jsFiddle, Hello CodeSandbox

We have recently moved all the JavaScript examples embedded in our devdoc website from jsFiddle to CodeSandbox. We believe CodeSandbox offers all the cool features already existing in jsFiddle and add real value to our day-to-day support and documentation process.

CodeSandbox is a fully featured cloud IDE focused on JavaScript-based web applications. We particularly enjoy the prebuilt templates which makes it easy to get going with whatever frontend framework we’re working on. There are also many collaborative tools built in that are really helpful to interactively demonstrate an issue or a new Woosmap feature.

In parallel to this move, we’ve fine-tuned the samples by relying on ES6, replacing XMLHttpRequest with Fetch API and removing all dependencies (jQuery and other optional libs).
