I can't find Live Server extension in Visual Studio

Question

Sunday, April 15, 2018 2:24 AM

Trying to install this extension:

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ritwickdey.LiveServer

But not showing up in search online is VS, is the extension offline, or taken out? 

A. How can I download this and upload manually?

B. Is there another extension that has same functionality?

I need this to do live preview on editing CSS, HTML and JS right in editor without using browser, live preview basically;)

Thanks,

Bruno

Hi Bruno,

This extension was used for VS Code Editor, not for the VS IDE.

Hi Bruno,

VS code is another tool which is not the VS IDE, so if you have to use this extension tool, you need to use the VS code.

Not very sure that which kind of app you were develop, but VS also have some editors which support us to edit the code and view the Designer view. Maybe it is also a path for you if you want to use the VS to develop your app.

If you get any latest information, feel free to let me know.

Best Regards,

Jack
