🍭 External Redirects

If your application use external login or SSO you will need to forward browser redirect to localhost. This happens on the browser side, so we need a web extension.

npx localhostify --chrome-ext

This command will create a folder ".localhostify-ext" on your project. Load it on Chrome. That's all!. Note: if you update your .localhostify.js config, please execute again npx localhostify --chrome-ext to update also the ext. It the browser is opened, refresh all the exstensions.
