Can I connect remotely to Dynamics?

I'm developing several small "iframes" in our current project. What I do is that I in in Visual Studio Code and write html/js/css and then copy&paste the source to a webresource in the solution I'm working on.

I try to develop a lot of the UI stuff before polling entities and the way I do it as described above does take time. I have to copy the code, paste the code (if im not saving a the file rather then editing source if a resource). Then publish the webresource, reload the website. Discovering a small error and redo the whole progress. It takes time.

So, how do you guys do it? I think there are 1 of two options, but I've not found any documentation as I dont think doing "stuff with iframe" is that common(?).

1) There is a way to auth against Dynamics so you can run (browse) the page locally and get access to query entities as normal with the SDK. This would be smooth.

2) There is a way to set up Visual Studio / VS Code to publish the source to a named webresource in the given Dynamics. It would still like in 1) require access... so I would still hope 1) is the way to do it.
