Live-view Aura/Visualforce/LWC within the IDE

[Chandler Anderson]

It would be great to be able to "live-view" an Aura Lighting Component app within IntelliJ without having to open a secondary browser. I could leave the preview pane open as I develop and see HTML, JS, or CSS code changes live as they're implemented. Not sure how practical that is and obviously I can just leave Chrome open and refresh, but it'd be awesome to have everything in one window. Also, the live-view could utilize JS breakpoints that are specified within IntelliJ.

This would be amazing - however I really don’t know how it could possibly be achieved

Generalizing this as it should likely apply to all of the presentation tier frameworks. Having said that, I agree that it’s unlikely to happen, but now that the JetBrains IDEs have a tight integration with JCEF, it’s not totally out of the question.
