LWC preview

The LWC shell is a local preview surface, not hosted Lightning Experience. It owns local component routes, preview contexts, and service shims. It does not own hosted Lightning runtime behavior.

Use it when

Use LWC preview when you need to open local component, record, app, tab, action, utility, Flow, or community preview routes with local data and service shims.

Entry commands

glade toolchain install
glade dev lwc --project . --open
glade dev lwc --project . --context accountRecord --open

What this module owns

• Local LWC shell routes, preview contexts, and page composer flows.
• Local Apex wire, selected LDS and UI API shims, labels, resources, user data, navigation, messages, toast, refresh, and practical base-component shims.
• Toolchain setup for the local preview runtime.

Requires Salesforce

The LWC shell is a local preview surface, not hosted Lightning Experience. Salesforce remains the validation gate for hosted platform behavior.

Use Salesforce for exact Lightning Experience chrome, full UI API and GraphQL semantics, hosted permissions, live EMP streaming, and every base-component edge.
