Running HTML in idx

General
1

How do I run a simple web project (JS vanilla) in idx?

2

You should try and use the “Simple HTML” template

3

The project is on the Github so I use “Import a repo”

4

I see, you can still use the same dev.idx template:

{ pkgs, ... }: {
  # Which nixpkgs channel to use.
  channel = "stable-23.11"; # or "unstable"
  # Use https://search.nixos.org/packages to find packages
  packages = [
    pkgs.nodejs_20
    pkgs.python3
  ];
  # Sets environment variables in the workspace
  env = {};
  idx = {
    # Search for the extensions you want on https://open-vsx.org/ and use "publisher.id"
    extensions = [
      # "vscodevim.vim"
    ];
    # Enable previews and customize configuration
    previews = {
      enable = true;
      previews = {
        web = {
          command = ["python3" "-m" "http.server" "$PORT" "--bind" "0.0.0.0"];
          manager = "web";
        };
      };
    };
  };
}
