Are you looking to also have your app’s UI appear inside IDX? ---

Hi @Vova, is it possible to connect a local database to a project in IDX? Or is there another way to set up the connection for the project? ---

Hi @vinay_kumar , indeed it is, we’ve recently added support for a couple of databases in IDX, for example see > **[Customize your IDX workspace  |  Project IDX  |  Google...](https://developers.google.com/idx/guides/customize-idx-env#servicesmysqlenable)** Once you’ve enabled it, you will have to configure it yourself though, i.e. create database users, permission and schema. Let me know if it works for you, thanks ---

For sending simple rest request to check end points you can install vs code extensions and use the same. Eg: Rest Client extension. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/idxcommunity/original/2X/8/8541545229d43d69a730f40d9360e12d25ee8370.png)
