Have you ever imagined how can you access the webpage on your mobile which is present on localhost. So today we are going to discuss on how can we view the same webpage on your phone without actually hosting it.

🛠 Step 1: Open Visual Studio Code

Launch VS Code and make sure your project is ready to run.

🚀 Step 2: Start Your Local Server

Run your web project on localhost (e.g., npm start, live-server, etc.).

💻 Step 3: Open the Terminal in VS Code

Navigate to Terminal in the top menu or use Ctrl + ` (backtick) to open it.

🌐 Step 4: Enable Port Forwarding

Click on the Port section in VS Code and select Forward Port.

🔢 Step 5: Enter Your Port Number

Type in the port number your project is running on (e.g., 3000, 5500, etc.) and press Enter.

🔗 Step 6: Get Your Temporary Link

Once the port is forwarded, a temporary link will be generated. Copy this link! 📋

📲 Step 7: Access It on Your Phone!

📌 Open the link in your mobile browser, and voilà! 🎉 The same webpage running on your PC will now be visible on your phone.

⚠️ Important Note:

This link will only work as long as your project is running on localhost on your PC. So, make sure VS Code stays open and the project is active. ✅

That’s it! You’re now browsing your localhost project on mobile like a pro. 😎 Let me know in the comments if this worked for you! 🚀✨
