This will start the development server for LiaScript directly from VSCode. For more information, checkout the documentation or checkout our YouTube-Channel.
Currently there are 5 different options, which you can either activate by [ctrl+shift+p] and then type "liascript" or you use one of the following short-cuts:
-
Start the development server in live mode: [alt+l] - on Mac [cmd+l]
This option will start the server in the current directory and watch for changes. Every time a file is changed and saved, the preview will be reloaded automatically. If no file has been selected previously, then you will be presented with a folder overview, where you can open different files.
-
Start the development server: [alt+shift+l] - on Mac [cmd+shift+l]
If automatically reloading might be annoying, you can use this option. It will only start the development and you will have to perform a reload of the course manually within the browser.
-
Start the development server and test your course on the project-website:
Text to speech is not enabled at the moment, but if you want to test your course on the LiaScript project-website this option can be used.
-
Stop the development server: [alt+l+c] - on Mac [cmd+l+c]
Once the server has been started, it will remain active until you close VScode or by using this command.
