Inspect in VSCode

This is a simple extension for deno/fresh projects that allows you to inspect your components’ source code in VSCode. This repository includes a sample site to show how it works. Activate the extension with backquote (`) and click on any component. Your browser will attempt to navigate to the source code file in your project.

This is a native feature in live, the upcoming deno-native CMS.

Usage

Start the project:

cd example/
deno task start

Go to https://localhost:8080

Now hit the backquote key (`) and click on any DOM Element while the project is open in VSCode. Your browser should navigate to VSCode and open the correct file and line.

Implementing in your project

  • Add "inspect_vscode/": "https://deno.land/x/inspect_vscode@0.1.0/" and "std/":"https://deno.land/std@0.148.0/" to your import_map.json file.

  • Create islands/InspectVSCode.tsx:

/** @jsx h */
import InspectVSCode from "inspect_vscode/island.tsx";

export default InspectVSCode;
  • Create routes/_live/inspect.ts:
import inspectVSCodeHandler from "inspect_vscode/handler.ts";

export const handler = inspectVSCodeHandler;
  • Import islands/InspectVSCode.tsx in a route and render it.

Done!
