Embedding playground snippets in gist-like way

[Carlos]

As far as I can tell, there isn't any way to embed playground snippets like Github's gist.

Is it OK that I implement this change? Or is there any reason for not doing it?

Do you want to only embed the code or also have the Run button?

To embed the code, you can fetch the URL with ".go" appended to it.

e.g. embed the code for http://play.golang.org/p/duRF5gXJEP, just

load the code from http://play.golang.org/p/duRF5gXJEP.go.

To embed a real playground widget along with the play function,

please see how the present tool does it.

https://github.com/golang/tools/blob/master/present/code.go

With the help of:

https://github.com/golang/tools/blob/master/godoc/static/play.js

and

https://github.com/golang/tools/blob/master/godoc/static/playground.js

Note that to use the http transport, you web server must implement

the /compile handler, and if you are using Go, just import

https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/playground

But please remember to request for the playground service on the

golang-dev mailing list first, and use a unique user agent for all your

requests.

The idea is having something similar to present/godoc, but that could
be copy&pastable straight from play.golang.org - and not start a new
service, thus the UA notification in golang-dev is not necessary. So
essentially, I am advocating updating
https://go.googlesource.com/playground

Like gist you have the option to copy an embeddable HTML code, the
same would be available for playground.

So you want to be able to embed play.golang.org in an iframe?

Sounds good to me. I copied Andrew on this thread, if he also

agrees, please feel free to send the CL. Thanks.

[C Cirello]

Yes, You expressed in better words what I wanted.

[Andrew Gerrand]

Sounds good to me. Send a CL.

[C Cirello]

Ok. Working on it then.

I've implemented a simple js sdk goplay to connect to a reverse proxy to the official go playground service at go.dev/play.

Now it seems works smoothly. If you are interested in this, I'd like to share it with you: ggicci.me/goplay.
