Live Webview 1.0.0 is the first stable release, published as JDeffner.live-webview. It keeps the targeted-reload scope from the previews and retains registration API v1.

Install

Install Live Webview from the VS Code Marketplace in the profile used by your target's Extension Development Host. Download the matching webview-dev-helper-1.0.0.tgz from this release and add it to your target with pnpm. The helper is distributed as a tarball, not on npm.

The tested stable VSIX and helper tarball are attached. The publishing workflow passed and Marketplace accepted version 1.0.0 on the stable channel. Users of the original local.live-webview preview should disable or uninstall it before using JDeffner.live-webview.

Included

  • Targeted reload of registered panels and sidebar views after successful frontend builds.
  • Per-target manual reload, pause/resume, build status, and Output logs.
  • Shared build groups, deferred hidden-view updates, serialized callbacks, and recovery after build or reload failures.
  • An opt-in helper, esbuild signal adapter, and independent fixture with strict CSP, host messaging, and explicit application state restoration.
  • Updated Marketplace setup instructions, informative banner, and a 1280×640 social preview.

Verification

The release source passed typecheck, lint, all 26 unit tests, and the full Linux CI suite. Windows real-host checks passed for the two-extension launch, packaged companion with independent helper, absent companion, production without the companion, Restricted Mode, and Development mode with the real watch task. The VSIX was inspected to confirm publisher JDeffner, version 1.0.0, and no prerelease flag.

Twenty local Development/watch samples measured 28–51 ms from successful-signal receipt to frontend readiness; build time was 2–9 ms. These small-fixture results are not general performance guarantees. See validation evidence and the Linux CI run.

Scope

Requires local desktop VS Code 1.74 or newer, a Node extension host, and a trusted workspace. The target must opt in; installation alone does not attach arbitrary webviews. Frontend state restoration is application-owned, and host-code changes still require a debug restart. Remote/browser hosts, framework HMR, and message inspection are outside 1.0. A human keyboard/screen-reader accessibility pass remains unverified.
