description: >-
  Try-before-you-install surface for Lightning Web Components. LWC operates no hosted service, so
  there is no test/live key duality, no test cards, no test clocks and no fixture API — the
  equivalent surface is an in-browser playground plus a runnable sample app. Both are recorded here
  with what they actually are.
test_credentials:
  applicable: false
  note: >-
    Not applicable. LWC is a compiler and client/server rendering runtime distributed on npm. There
    are no API keys, no test-mode prefixes, no test cards or bank accounts, no time simulation and
    no fixture-trigger tooling, because there is no hosted API to authenticate against.

  note: >-
    The playground PROJECT is first-party — it lives in the salesforce/lwc repository under
    playground/ and playground.lwc.dev is a redirect that forks it into StackBlitz. The execution
    environment is a third party's. lwc.dev states plainly: "LWC.studio and StackBlitz are
    third-party products and are subject to their own terms and conditions. Paid options on these
    sites are not services offered by Salesforce."

    A running catalogue of small, copyable LWC implementations, already wired into apis.yml as the
    Examples pointer.

  command: npm init lwr@latest
  note: >-
    The documented zero-to-running path is local, not hosted — scaffold with LWR, `npm install`,
    `npm run start`. See cli/lightning-web-components-cli.yml.
