🚀 Project Runner

Automatically detects your framework and prepares your launch.json for you.

Project Runner is a zero-configuration VS Code extension that detects common web frameworks and automatically generates development launch configurations.

No setup.
No prompts.
Just open your project and press F5.

✨ Features

Project Runner automatically detects:

• 🧱 Laravel → php artisan serve
• ⚛️ Next.js → npm run dev
• ⚛️ React (Create React App) → npm start
• 🧠 NestJS → npm run start:dev

If the corresponding configuration does not exist in .vscode/launch.json, it is created automatically.

Existing configurations are never overwritten.

🔍 How It Works

When you open a workspace, Project Runner:

1. Scans the project root.
2. Detects frameworks
3. Creates or updates configurations:

• Adds only missing configurations.
• Avoids duplicates.

4. Shows a minimal notification if something was added.

▶ Usage

1. Install Project Runner
2. Open your project
3. Press F5
4. Select the detected configuration (if multiple exist)

That’s it.
