enable data over http for local dev testing about vscode-vega-viewer HOT 1 CLOSED

@Corvince this is now enabled in v2.2.0

Please serve your data only over https in prod.

I enabled this option for local dev testing since I get that such occasions arise when your data is a data service and not just a simple data file.

tip: You can also serve your local data files over http or https for local dev testing if you'd like with http-server npm module:

npm install http-server -g
http-server ./data --cors

This extension will still try to load any relative data url's without http(s) from your filesystem via node fs api and wire it in Vega view via custom data loader and data message passing to the Vega preview webview.

Hopefully, this is less restrictive and more informative now for local dev and Vega json prototyping.
