The current build of Brackets also changes the live preview URL when you change files. The editor won’t have code hinting for your server-side code, unless you are using an extension that enables code hinting (with the exception of NodeJS because JavaScript is supported). However, keep in mind that Edge Code & Brackets’ primary use case is editing HTML/JS/CSS, not server-side languages. So, if you are editing “index.html” with a preview base URL of, brackets will launch the live connection with the URL “”. The preview base URL will be prefixed to the name of the file that you are editing, and will be used for the browser’s URL in the live connection. To enable the Edge Code/Brackets preview on a server, just go into “File->Project Settings”, and then specify a “Preview Base URL” string. Let the edtior offload the work of updating the live content in your browser to keep you focused on the task at hand. You just focus on writing code and creating an experience. This streamlined workflow can be incredibly powerful, especially for rapid prototyping scenarios. Check out the screencast below to see live editing of dynamically generated HTML content using the latest Brackets release (Sprint 23). In most contexts we talk about the live HTML/JS/CSS development perspective on the client side, but I’d also like to highlight that Adobe Edge Code and/or Brackets can be used to rapidly develop dynamic server-side web code too. This promotes rapid development, and allows you to focus on writing your code rather than worrying about all the steps required to switch between your editor and browser and step through development and debugging iterations. If you haven’t already heard of Adobe Edge Code or Brackets, it is a new HTML/CSS/JS code editor that enables a rapid development cycle by connecting directly to your browser for automatic real-time updates to the HTML content running inside the browser.
