Local WordPress Development with Playground

Playground offers various development environments to streamline setting up and managing WordPress sites.

For a quick start, use a public Playground web instance at https://playground.wordpress.net/. Alternatively, you can host your own WordPress Playground.

Playground also provides tools for local WordPress development, prioritizing easy installation and usability:

• @wp-playground/cli: A command-line tool to quickly launch a WordPress site from your terminal.
• Visual Studio Code Extension: Integrates WordPress development directly into VS Code for a seamless experience within the popular editor.

For those needing more control, Playground offers tools for Node.js:

• WordPress Playground in Node.js: For low-level control over the WebAssembly PHP build, explore the @php-wasm/node package, which includes the PHP WebAssembly runtime.
