You can use this:
https://github.com/armandoalonso/c3IDE/blob/master/doc/index.md
https://github.com/armandoalonso/c3IDE/blob/master/doc/index.md#test
Or this:
https://github.com/el3um4s/local-server-for-construct-3
I prefer the first solution (https://www.construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/plugin-sdk-10/c3ide-construct-plugin-ide-141201), created by piranha305
i tried local server for construct 3 but it doesn't change my changes.
when i refresh construct 3 it doesn't load new changes.
Personally I suggest you to use C3IDE. I'm trying it out these days and it makes it very easy to create an addon.
Just remember to compile the addon before refresh C3. I use Compile on save.
using C3IDE when i do create new then their is only Effect, Behavior, Drawing Plugin and Single Global Plugin there is no option to create C3 Themes.
I've just updated Local Server for Construct 3. You can try the new version:
https://github.com/el3um4s/local-server-for-construct-3/releases
https://github.com/el3um4s/local-server-for-construct-3/releases/download/v2.19.05.12/Local.Server.for.Construct.3-19.05.12.zip
I hope it works.
I have added a TODO to create a new template to support themes in c3ide, I will work on this next week!

Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.
thanks el3um4s and piranha305
Now i am so excited to create my first theme.
Added Theme support in c3ide https://piranha305.itch.io/c3ide
thanks
Thank you!
is there any way for real-time preview?
make change without refreshing page each time
No i dont think you can avoid having to refresh the page. C3 pulls the latest version of the addon when the app starts, and changes you make after don't get pulled.
I am very beginner level developer and while making my custom theme I want to change icon colors. I don't know how could i change modified icons with the originals, any body can help me?
