Auto-saving CSS And JavaScript Changes Locally From The Chrome Developer Tools. Today we're going to take a look at how you can greatly simplify how you locally develop for the web.We all have our own workflow when it comes to working on the front-end, but there are some common steps we almost all use: Experiment with changes to styles, scripts or markup using some web developer toolsGo back to a text editor to apply those changes and save themRefresh the browser to ensure our changes have been savedContinue debugging Whilst this workflow works fine, it can be made a lot easier thanks to a new extension for Google Chrome called the Chrome DevTools Autosave (by Nikita Vasilyev). Chrome DevTools Autosave allows you to make live changes to local CSS and JavaScript files directly from inside the Chrome Developer Tools.
Happy with that border-radius you've just tweaked in the browser? Satisfied with that minor JS fix you just tried out? With Autosave, changes you make inside the browser are automatically saved to their corresponding local files. How does it work? Usage. NV/chrome-devtools-autosave. NV/chrome-devtools-autosave.

Making Drupal Themer’s Life Easier: Autosaving CSS Changes From The Chrome Browser. Theming in overall (not only in Drupal) can be a very painful process: themer looks at the .psd, then switches to his editor of choice, types some css rules, hits save, switches to a browser, hits refresh button and finally, looks at results. So much moves just to change only one css rule and check if it works!
But what if this could be done more quickly, what if you could change css directly in your browser and have these changes automatically saved directly to your css file? Well, I’m in a rush to tell you great news: this is possible and today I will show you how to create a little setup which will make your dreams come true. Ingredients of the system How to install? Chrome DevTools Autosave has own installation intructions here: but I had several problems following these instructions, so I decided to write my own, more clear installation how to: 1) Install Chrome DevTools Autosave Extension 2) Install Autosave Server 3) Tune the extension.
