1. Chrome

For debugging AngularJS in Chrome you can use AngularJS Batarang. (From recent reviews on the plugin it seems like AngularJS Batarang is no longer being maintained. Tested in various versions of Chrome and it does not work.)

Here is the the link for a description and demo: Introduction of Angular JS Batarang

Download Chrome plugin from here: Chrome plugin for debugging AngularJS

You can also use ng-inspect for debugging angular.

2. Firefox

For Firefox with the help of Firebug you can debug the code.

Also use this Firefox Add-Ons: AngScope: Add-ons for Firefox (Not official extension by AngularJS Team)

there is also $log that you can use! it makes use of your console in a way that you want it to work!

showing the error/warning/info the way your console shows you normally!

Despite the question is answered, it could be interesting to take a look at ng-inspector

IMHO, the most frustrating experience comes from getting / setting a value of a specific scope related to an visual element. I did a lot of breakpoints not only in my own code, but also in angular.js itself, but sometimes it is simply not the most effective way. Although the methods below are very powerful, they are definitely considered to be bad practice if you actually use in production code, so use them wisely!

Get a reference in console from a visual element

In many non-IE browsers, you can select an element by right clicking an element and clicking "Inspect Element". Alternatively you can also click on any element in Elements tab in Chrome, for example. The latest selected element will be stored in variable $0 in console.

Get a scope linked to an element

Depending on whether there exists a directive that creates an isolate scope, you can retrieve the scope by angular.element($0).scope() or angular.element($0).isolateScope() (use $($0).scope() if $ is enabled). This is exactly what you get when you are using the latest version of Batarang. If you are changing the value directly, remember to use scope.$digest() to reflect the changes on UI.

$eval is evil

Not necessarily for debugging. scope.$eval(expression) is very handy when you want to quickly check whether an expression has the expected value.

The missing prototype members of scope

The difference between scope.bla and scope.$eval('bla') is the former does not consider the prototypically inherited values. Use the snippet below to get the whole picture (you cannot directly change the value, but you can use $eval anyway!)

scopeCopy = function (scope) {
var a = {};
for (x in scope){
if (scope.hasOwnProperty(x) &&
x.substring(0,1) !== '$' &&
x !== 'this') {
a[x] = angular.copy(scope[x])
}
}
return a
};


scopeEval = function (scope) {
if (scope.$parent === null) {
return hoho(scope)
} else {
return angular.extend({}, haha(scope.$parent), hoho(scope))
}
};

Use it with scopeEval($($0).scope()).

Where is my controller?

Sometimes you may want to monitor the values in ngModel when you are writing a directive. Use $($0).controller('ngModel') and you will get to check the $formatters, $parsers, $modelValue, $viewValue $render and everything.

Try ng-inspector. Download the add-on for Firefox from the website http://ng-inspector.org/. It is not available on the Firefox add on menu.

var rootEle = document.querySelector("html");
var ele = angular.element(rootEle);

scope() We can fetch the $scope from the element (or its parent) by using the scope() method on the element:

var scope = ele.scope();

injector()

var injector = ele.injector();

With this injector, we can then then instantiate any Angular object inside of our app, such as services, other controllers, or any other object

Unfortunately most of add-ons and browser extensions are just showing the values to you but they don't let you to edit scope variables or run angular functions. If you wanna change the $scope variables in browser console (in all browsers) then you can use jquery. If you load jQuery before AngularJS, angular.element can be passed a jQuery selector. So you could inspect the scope of a controller with

angular.element('[ng-controller="name of your controller"]').scope()

You need to change value of $scope variable and see the result in the browser then just type in the browser console:

angular.element('[ng-controller="mycontroller"]').scope().var1 = "New Value";
angular.element('[ng-controller="mycontroller"]').scope().$apply();

angular.element('[ng-controller="mycontroller"]').scope().var1;
