How to use AngularJS developer tools in browsers



Image not found!!

AngularJS is an older JavaScript framework that was widely used in web development. However, it's important to note that AngularJS (version 1.x) is now considered legacy, and its usage has significantly declined with the rise of newer frameworks like Angular (2+), React, and Vue.js.

That said, if you're still working with AngularJS and you want to use developer tools in browsers to debug and inspect your AngularJS application, here's how you can do it:

  1. Chrome Developer Tools:

    • Open your AngularJS application in Google Chrome.
    • Right-click on the page and select "Inspect" or press Ctrl + Shift + I (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + Option + I (Mac) to open Chrome Developer Tools.
    • Navigate to the "Sources" tab to debug JavaScript code, set breakpoints, and step through code execution.
    • In the "Elements" tab, you can inspect the DOM structure and view AngularJS directives and bindings in the HTML.
    • Use the "Console" tab to log messages and execute JavaScript code.

  2. Firefox Developer Tools:

    • Open your AngularJS application in Mozilla Firefox.
    • Right-click on the page and select "Inspect Element" or press Ctrl + Shift + I (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + Option + I (Mac) to open Firefox Developer Tools.
    • Similar to Chrome Developer Tools, you can use the various tabs (Inspector, Console, Debugger, etc.) to debug and inspect your application.

  3. AngularJS Batarang (Chrome Extension):

    • AngularJS Batarang was a Chrome extension specifically designed for debugging AngularJS applications.
    • As of my last update, it was deprecated and no longer maintained or available in the Chrome Web Store.
    • However, if you have an old version installed, it may still work to some extent but might not be fully compatible with the latest versions of Chrome.

  4. Augury (Chrome and Firefox Extension):

    • Augury is a Chrome and Firefox extension for debugging Angular (not AngularJS) applications.
    • It provides insights into the structure of Angular applications, component tree, dependency injection, and more.
    • While it's not designed for AngularJS, it might still offer some useful insights if your AngularJS application has been migrated to Angular.

Remember, AngularJS applications can be debugged and inspected using standard browser developer tools, but specific AngularJS debugging tools like AngularJS Batarang are no longer actively maintained. If you're developing new applications or maintaining existing ones, consider migrating to a more modern framework like Angular, React, or Vue.js for better long-term support and developer tooling.
