How do I run a simple web project (JS vanilla) in idx?

You should try and use the “Simple HTML” template

The project is on the Github so I use “Import a repo”

I see, you can still use the same `dev.idx` template:
```auto
{ pkgs, ... }: {
# Which nixpkgs channel to use.
channel = "stable-23.11"; # or "unstable"
# Use https://search.nixos.org/packages to find packages
packages = [
pkgs.nodejs_20
pkgs.python3
];
# Sets environment variables in the workspace
env = {};
idx = {
# Search for the extensions you want on https://open-vsx.org/ and use "publisher.id"
extensions = [
# "vscodevim.vim"
];
# Enable previews and customize configuration
previews = {
enable = true;
previews = {
web = {
command = ["python3" "-m" "http.server" "$PORT" "--bind" "0.0.0.0"];
manager = "web";
};
};
};
};
}
```
