🔌 Configuration IDE / Editor

Starting from v5.1.0, We recommend using the launchEditor option configuration to specify the IDE (Please ensure that the editor's environment variables are correctly configured beforehand.)

It uses an environment variable named LAUNCH_EDITOR to specify an IDE application, but if you do not set this variable, it will try to open a common IDE that you have open or installed once it is certified.

For example, if you want it always open VS Code when inspection clicked, set export LAUNCH_EDITOR=code in your shell.

$3

- install VS Code command line tools, see the official docs
!install-vscode-cli

- set env to shell, like .bashrc or .zshrc

`bash
export LAUNCH_EDITOR=code
`

$3

- add the configuration in the settings.json

- restart the VS Code (All Windows should be closed to take effect)

`json
{
// other config...

"terminal.integrated.env.linux": {
"EDITOR": "code"
}
}
`

$3

- just set env with an absolute path to shell, like .bashrc or .zshrc (only MacOS)

`bash
export LAUNCH_EDITOR='/Applications/WebStorm.app/Contents/MacOS/webstorm'
`

OR

- install WebStorm command line tools

- then set env to shell, like .bashrc or .zshrc

`bash
export LAUNCH_EDITOR=webstorm
`

$3

- just set env with an absolute path to shell, like .bashrc or .zshrc (only MacOS)

👨‍💻 Programmatic Usage

You can also use control inspector programmatically, by accessing the __VUE_INSPECTOR__ global variable.

`ts
import type { VueInspectorClient } from 'vite-plugin-vue-inspector'

const inspector: VueInspectorClient = window.__VUE_INSPECTOR__

if (inspector) {
// enable inspector
inspector.enable()
// or
inspector.disable()
}
``
