Browser Preview for VS Code

A real browser preview inside your editor that you can debug.

Browser Preview for VS Code enables you to open a real browser preview inside your editor that you can debug. Browser Preview is powered by Chrome Headless, and works by starting a headless Chrome instance in a new process. This enables a secure way to render web content inside VS Code, and enables interesting features such as as in-editor debugging and more!

Getting started

  1. Grab extension from marketplace
  2. Click the new "Browser Preview" button in the Side Bar to the left or run the command Browser View: Open Preview

Make sure you have Google Chrome installed on your computer.

Features

  • Browser preview inside VS Code (Powered by Chrome Headless).
  • Ability to have multiple previews open at the same time.
  • Debuggable. Launch urls and attach Debugger for Chrome to the browser view instance, and debug within VS Code.
  • Attach Chrome DevTools via chrome://inspect
  • Option to set the default startUrl via browser-preview.startUrl

Launch and Debugging

You can enable in-editor debugging of Browser Previews by installing Debugger for Chrome, and configure VS Code's debugger to either attach or launch to the browser previews by using the following configuration:

{
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "type": "browser-preview",
      "request": "attach",
      "name": "Browser Preview: Attach"
    },
    {
      "type": "browser-preview",
      "request": "launch",
      "name": "Browser Preview: Launch",
      "url": "http://localhost:3000"
    }
  ]
}

The debug configuration also supports these additional properties: webRoot, pathMapping, trace, sourceMapPathOverrides and urlFilter. See https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-chrome-debug#other-optional-launch-config-fields for details on how to use.
