Control sandbox lifetime
Deno Sandboxes provide a sandboxed environment for evaluating JavaScript code. This is useful for evaluating code that is not trusted or for testing code that is not safe to run in the main runtime.
You can control how long your sandbox stays alive using the lifetime option:
import { Sandbox } from "@deno/sandbox"; // Default: "session" - sandbox shuts down when you close/dispose the client await using sandbox = await Sandbox.create({ lifetime: "session" }); Supported duration suffixes: s (seconds), m (minutes).
Examples: "30s", "5m", "90s" .
import { Sandbox } from "@deno/sandbox"; // Duration-based: keep sandbox alive for a specific time period // Useful when you want the sandbox to persist after the script exits const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({ lifetime: "5m" }); // 5 minutes const id = sandbox.id; // Close the *connection* to the sandbox; the sandbox keeps running await sandbox.close(); // Later, reconnect to the same sandbox using its ID const reconnected = await Sandbox.connect({ id }); await reconnected.sh`echo 'Still alive!'`; // You can still forcibly terminate it before its lifetime expires await reconnected.kill(); // At this point, the sandbox is no longer reconnectable Need other lifetime modes?
