Compiling user's code - the right way

Hi, so I have been trying to create some kind of a leetcode like app for JS code only in my SvelteKit app. I run into a problem that I have no clue how to actually do that right. I have already been able to create something using 'isolated-vm' but it does not look like the best way to do it.

import { json } from "@sveltejs/kit"
import ivm from "isolated-vm"

export const POST = async ({ request }) => {
  const { code } = await request.json()
  console.log(code)
  if (!code) throw new Error('No code provided');

  const isolate = new ivm.Isolate();
  const context = await isolate.createContext();

  try {
    const result = await (await isolate.compileScript(code)).run(context);
    console.log(result)
    if (result === undefined) return json('undefined');
    return json(result.toString());
  } catch (error) {
    throw new Error(error);
  } finally {
    await isolate.dispose();
  }
}

import { json } from "@sveltejs/kit"
import ivm from "isolated-vm"

export const POST = async ({ request }) => {
  const { code } = await request.json()
  console.log(code)
  if (!code) throw new Error('No code provided');

  const isolate = new ivm.Isolate();
  const context = await isolate.createContext();

  try {
    const result = await (await isolate.compileScript(code)).run(context);
    console.log(result)
    if (result === undefined) return json('undefined');
    return json(result.toString());
  } catch (error) {
    throw new Error(error);
  } finally {
    await isolate.dispose();
  }
}

So that's it I guess, hope someone smart will come by this, thanks for any help :).

Why don't run the untrusted code in the user's browser

Thanks for the response, do you have any idea about correct implementation? I have read something about web workers or iframes doing the job connected with some sandboxing library.
