🔌 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 VUE_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 VUE_EDITOR=code in your shell.

VS Code

install VS Code command line tools, see the official docs
set env to shell, like .bashrc or .zshrc
```
export VUE_EDITOR=code
```

VS Code with WSL (Windows)

add the configuration in the settings.json
restart the VS Code (All Windows should be closed to take effect)

{
  // other config...

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

WebStorm

just set env with an absolute path to shell, like .bashrc or .zshrc (only MacOS)
```
export VUE_EDITOR='/Applications/WebStorm.app/Contents/MacOS/webstorm'
```

OR

install WebStorm command line tools
then set env to shell, like .bashrc or .zshrc
```
export VUE_EDITOR=webstorm
```

PhpStorm

just set env with an absolute path to shell, like .bashrc or .zshrc (only MacOS)
```
export LAUNCH_EDITOR='/Applications/PhpStorm.app/Contents/MacOS/phpstorm'
```

OR

install PhpStorm command line tools
then set env to shell, like .bashrc or .zshrc
```
export LAUNCH_EDITOR=phpstorm
```

Vim

Yes! you can also use vim if you want, just set env to shell

export VUE_EDITOR=vim

💡 Notice

[BREAKING CHANGE] From v1.0, enabled option default value changed from true to false .
It only work in develop mode .
It does not currently support Template Engine (e.g. pug) .

👨‍💻 Programmatic Usage

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

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

const inspector: VueInspectorClient = window.__VUE_INSPECTOR__

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