What It Does
AppBridge Pro creates a local bridge between a browser page you control and VS Code. It captures console logs, fetch() calls, XMLHttpRequest traffic, unhandled errors, and promise rejections, then streams them into the editor for faster debugging.
Key Features
- Local browser-to-VS Code bridge for localhost apps.
- Console capture for
log, warn, error, and info.
- HTTP capture for
fetch() and XMLHttpRequest.
- Crash capture for unhandled errors and promise rejections.
- Diagnostics command with bridge state, port, connection count, uptime, and event totals.
- Status bar indicator for quick bridge visibility.
- Activity bar Dev Panel for common project commands.
- One-click localhost sharing for clients or teammates.
