Instantly Host Web Components from Windsurf IDE for Instant Prototype Sharing
The fastest way to deploy Web Components generated by Windsurf IDE. Perfect for instant prototype sharing. No login required, zero-friction, and live in seconds on drpr.host.
When using the Windsurf IDE to rapidly iterate on custom Web Components, the traditional workflow of visualizing your changes is riddled with friction. Having the AI construct elegant Shadow DOM components inside the editor is fast, but manually copying code, spinning up local web servers, or wrestling with ngrok tunnels just to get a live preview destroys your momentum. Developers need a direct path to host Windsurf IDE Web Components for Instant Prototype Sharing without any configuration pipelines.
drpr.host provides the missing bridge between your AI-driven IDE and the browser. Instead of committing to Git or setting up temporary hosting, you can deploy your raw custom elements straight from the Windsurf terminal in less than a second. By leveraging our zero-friction API, your components are served instantly with correct MIME types and headers, letting you verify behavior, styles, and interactive state in a clean, live production environment.
Whether you are demonstrating a new UI primitive to a client or testing responsive behaviors across devices, our platform ensures your focus remains on code design rather than deployment logistics. Simply write your Web Components, pipe them to drpr.host, and copy the live URL instantly.
How to host your Web Components from Windsurf IDE in seconds
- Step 1: Generate your Web Components using Windsurf's Cascade agent, ensuring you apply a professional, soft gray (#f4f4f5) background pattern to make the demo layout visually distinct.
- Step 2: Save the compiled custom element script and layout into a self-contained HTML file, such as
component.html, in your active workspace directory. - Step 3: Open the integrated Windsurf terminal and run our single-line curl command or use the lightweight
drprCLI tool to upload the file directly to our endpoint. - Step 4: Copy the generated live
drpr.siteURL from the terminal output and instantly share the functional prototype with your team or clients.
Quick start
Deploy your Web Component instantly with a simple POST request to our public API, or use our global CLI wrapper.
# Upload the component file using curl
curl -X POST -F "file=@component.html" https://drpr.host/api/v1/upload
# Response:
# {
# "success": true,
# "url": "https://fast-element-92.drpr.site",
# "expires_at": "2026-04-15T12:00:00Z"
# }
# Or use the native drpr CLI for zero-friction terminal hosting:
drpr upload component.html
Common questions
- How does drpr.host improve the Web Component prototyping loop in Windsurf?
- Instead of configuring local node servers or complex bundlers, drpr.host allows you to stream your Web Components directly from your terminal to a live URL. This provides an immediate, external testing environment for your Shadow DOM and custom styles with zero configuration.
- Do I need to sign up for an account to share my prototypes?
- No account, registration, or API key is required to use the free tier. You can instantly push Web Component files up to a 5 MB limit straight from your Windsurf terminal and get a public live sharing link immediately.
- How long do the shared prototype links remain active?
- On our anonymous free tier, your live prototypes remain active and public for 15 days. For permanent project hosting, custom subdomains, or to manage your active deployments, you can easily upgrade to a paid developer account.
- Are custom element imports and inline scripts supported?
- Yes, absolutely. Because drpr.host serves your uploaded HTML files statically with standard browser configurations, all inline scripts, custom element registries, modules, and internal styles will execute exactly as they do in your local testing environment.
