LWC Local Development - Feedback Requested #143
Comments
I've used the dev server in the past and it is a productivity multiplier if you are not restricted by any of the limitations (unless the component is super crazy, it's fairly stable!). Additionally, there's a benefit of familiarity for developers coming from React/VueJS/modern Javascript frameworks which often have hot-reloading tools. The developer feedback cycle is extremely important for productivity. Personally, it helps me stay focused and on task if I'm not having to wait for my changes to be deployed, and all the edge caching propagation that seems to come with it on the Salesforce platform. This is my vote for doing so. Initial suggestions --
Thanks for taking the time to solicit feedback! |

Coming from using SvelteKit with built-in vite, my view may be tainted as it's such a great development experience. With the LWC Local Development Server, I've been stung in these areas:
In general, there's a lot of promise to Local Development Server as long as the quality issues are addressed. Until then, it seems I will have to go the more time-consuming route of installing into an org and testing there. |
Proper CSS Variables Support has been a blocker from using this tool for the past 3 years, sadly. Are there any open source alternatives? or is this not possible given how the Would love to see majority of the other bugs fixed too, especially around the platform changes that seemed to have moved forward whilst leaving this dev server in the dirt. |

@AnanyaJha But I also think that this plugin could be enhanced to enable developers to ship entire lwc apps instead of just simple components. We need something like Nuxt offers. A framework for building lwc apps. In the future, I imagine developers writting entire lwc apps locally, and then shipping them as experience cloud sites, instead of interacting with that horrible experience builder. |

@AnanyaJha If this is picked back up, I believe a good starting issue is: That one causes us not to use the new directives (lwc:if, etc) which stifles adoption, loss of code quality benefits, etc. If this is not going to be picked up for some reason, please open source it. Salesforce development hasn't been aligned with web development with tools like this for so long, I think the newer paradigm shift is taking some longer than others -- but I've seen that once they "get it", they love it, so I believe this is worth keeping around regardless of current numbers, etc. Thanks for your time and the great product that really saves so much precious time 🎉 |
Do you have any plans to open-source this? I see no reason not to open up for this since many competent developers are eager to help improve this product. |

I'm using this tool a lot, but the lack of update on lwc feature (directive, css, etc) is blocker Would be great to open source it if there is no bandwitch on your side to maintains this |
We cannot use |
It would be amazing if you could fix this issue: #76 |

Sharing because it is such a time saver when building for on-platform. After waiting about 4 years (and then seeing we won't be getting anything until 2025) I decided to build something myself over a weekend or two.
Full support for CSS Variables and anything else you could want from the modern web.

@lukethacoder thanks! I will definitely be giving this a shot. Admittedly, it's a little sad that it came to you, a lone developer, building this out. More so proves where Salesforce's resource prioritization lies, and it's not helping LWC developers. |
@lukethacoder absolute legend! Thank you for spending the time on this 🙌 |
