How to turn off automatic code execution

By default, PlayCode runs your code automatically every time you make changes. You can disable this behavior through Project Settings.

Steps to turn off Live Reload

1. Click the Menu icon (PlayCode logo) at the top left.
2. Select Project Settings.
3. Uncheck Live Reload.

Now your code will not run automatically. You'll need to manually click the Reload button to run your code.

Adding a delay

If you want to keep Live Reload enabled but reduce how often it runs while you're typing, you can add a delay:

1. Go to Project Settings.
2. Find Live View Delay (default is 0.1 seconds).
3. Increase it to 1 second or more.

This prevents the code from rerunning on every keystroke.

When to disable Live Reload

You might want to turn off automatic execution when:

• Working on code that makes API calls on every run
• Debugging issues where constant reloading is distracting
• Your code takes a long time to compile/run
• You want full control over when the code executes
