WebContainer API - Standalone Version

This is a standalone version of the WebContainer API that has been modified to remove dependencies on StackBlitz's authentication and API services.

Changes Made

1. Removed Authentication Requirements

   • The package no longer requires authentication with StackBlitz
   • The auth module has been replaced with a dummy implementation that always returns successful states
   • OAuth flow has been completely removed

2. Local Resources

   • The iframe URL now points to the local origin instead of StackBlitz
   • All references to StackBlitz's servers have been removed

3. Simplified Implementation

   • Token handling has been simplified to dummy implementations
   • Authentication checks have been removed from the boot process

Usage

You can use this modified version of the WebContainer API in the same way as the original, but without needing to call auth.init() or handle authentication flows.

import { WebContainer } from '@webcontainer/api';

// No need for auth.init() anymore

// Boot the WebContainer
const webcontainer = await WebContainer.boot();

// Use as normal
const files = {
  'index.js': {
    file: {
      contents: 'console.log("Hello, World!");',
    }
  }
};

await webcontainer.mount(files);

Important Notes

1. This modified version requires you to provide your own implementation of the WebContainer runtime
2. You'll need to serve a compatible /headless endpoint on your server
3. This is not compatible with StackBlitz's hosted services

Limitations

Since this package no longer uses StackBlitz's services, you'll need to provide your own implementation of:

1. The Node.js runtime environment
2. The file system implementation
3. The process spawning mechanism

This modified package is primarily intended for developers who want to run their own WebContainer-compatible environment without relying on StackBlitz's infrastructure.

API Reference Changes

The api_reference.json file has been updated to reflect the changes made to the package. The main modifications include:

1. Removed references to StackBlitz and WebContainer API URLs
2. Updated the AuthAPI interface to reflect the simplified authentication mechanism
3. Modified documentation to reference local resources instead of external services
