## 🔌  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 **`LAUNCH_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 LAUNCH_EDITOR=code` in your shell.


### VS Code

- install VS Code command line tools, [see the official docs](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/mac#_launching-from-the-command-line)
  ![install-vscode-cli](./public/install-vscode-cli.png)

- set env to shell, like `.bashrc` or `.zshrc`  

  ```bash
  export LAUNCH_EDITOR=code
  ```

<br />


### VS Code with WSL (Windows)

- add the configuration in the `settings.json`

- restart the VS Code (All Windows should be closed to take effect)

```json
{
  // other config...

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


### WebStorm  

- just set env with an absolute path to shell, like `.bashrc` or `.zshrc` (only MacOS)  

  ```bash
  export LAUNCH_EDITOR='/Applications/WebStorm.app/Contents/MacOS/webstorm'
  ```

**OR**

- install WebStorm command line tools

- then set env to shell, like `.bashrc` or `.zshrc`  

  ```bash
  export LAUNCH_EDITOR=webstorm
  ```

<br />

### PhpStorm

- just set env with an absolute path to shell, like `.bashrc` or `.zshrc` (only MacOS)

  ```bash
  export LAUNCH_EDITOR='/Applications/PhpStorm.app/Contents/MacOS/phpstorm'
  ```

**OR**

- install PhpStorm command line tools

- then set env to shell, like `.bashrc` or `.zshrc`

  ```bash
  export LAUNCH_EDITOR=phpstorm
  ```

<br />

### Vim

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

```bash
export LAUNCH_EDITOR=vim
```

<br />

## 💡 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.

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

const inspector: VueInspectorClient = window.__VUE_INSPECTOR__

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