Testing
In some cases (for testing), you want to start the experience without hosting it. This won't count towards your CPV usage and is a great way to iteratively test your developed functionality.
Locally Host a Web Server
You can test your experience locally by starting a local server and hosting the project files. We recommend using the ZapWorks CLI to do this (more information below).
Due to browser restrictions surrounding the use of the camera, you must use HTTPS to view or preview your site, even if doing so locally from your computer. If you're using webpack
, consider using webpack-dev-server
which has an https
option to enable this.

zapworks serve .

zapworks serve . --lan
