using dashboard for local development

Hi
I am very new to web development, js, ts and cloudflare workers so forgive me if this question doesnt make sense.

It seems there are multiple ways to develop workers. One is via the dashboard, and the other is locally.

I started with the dashboard, but now switched to local developent as it seems to be the way to go (e.g. i dont know how to add external dependencies via the dashbaord).

I created a ts worker locally and the code loosk readable. When i open the dashboard, the code is autogenerated js code that is unreadable.

However there are certain tools that i would like to use from the dashboard, namely
- the v8 inspector
- being able to send various HTTP requests easily (e.g. sending a POST) (instead of requiring postman or similar)

Is there any way i can programm locally, and test on my localhost, but still make use of these tools?

i attached an image of the panel i mean

basically, is there any way to use this panel or something similar in local development (i use vscode)
