React Code Example

React

import yaml from 'js-yaml';
import { useState } from 'react';

function YamlConverter() {
  const [input, setInput] = useState('');
  const [json, setJson] = useState('');
  const convert = () => {
    try { setJson(JSON.stringify(yaml.load(input), null, 2)); }
    catch (e) { setJson('Invalid YAML'); }
  };
  return <><textarea value={input} onChange={e => setInput(e.target.value)} /><button onClick={convert}>Convert</button><pre>{json}</pre></>;
