More Info

Streamline your development process

The LiveServe+ allows users to launch a development server directly from Visual Studio Code, making it easy to start web projects quickly.

Features

  • Right-click on any folder in the Explorer panel to start a live server for that directory
  • Customizable settings for host, browser, and more
  • Supports all platforms: Windows, macOS, and Linux

Usage

  1. Right-click on a folder in VS Code's Explorer panel
  2. Select "Start Live Server" from the context menu
  3. A new terminal will open, and the live server will start for the selected folder

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

  • liveServe.host: Host to use for the live server (default: localhost)
  • liveServe.browser: Browser to open (empty for default browser)
  • liveServe.wait: Delay in milliseconds before reloading changes (default: 100)
  • liveServe.quiet: Suppress logging in the terminal (default: false)

Additional Info

  • The extension currently doesn't track the state of the live server. You'll need to close the terminal manually to stop the server.
  • If multiple servers are started, they need to use different port numbers to avoid conflicts

Requirements

This extension requires Node.js and npm to be installed on your system. It uses the live-server npm package, which will be installed globally if not already present.
