I'm using Angular2 and underscore,
import * as _ from 'underscore';
and I want to use the underscore library in Chrome console window too. Even I do break on a middle of the code, and try to use , but I got ' is not defined' error.
Is it possible I can use the underscore in Chrome console window? how?
You can simply do it by adding underscore.js script onto the head of your page:
1) Go to Chrome Console of the page you wish to debug.
2) Run this script to import underscorejs so that the console starts recognizing _
commands:
var s = document.createElement('script');
s.type = 'text/javascript';
s.src = 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/underscore.js/1.8.3/underscore-min.js';
document.head.appendChild(s);
Alternatively, you can save such import script code inside a snippet for further usage:
Go to source tab, select snippet sub-tab, click on +
to add a new snippet, then add the following code and save:
(function () {
if (typeof window._ === 'undefined') {
var s = document.createElement('script');
s.type = 'text/javascript';
s.src = 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/underscore.js/1.8.3/underscore-min.js';
document.head.appendChild(s);
}
}());
This way, whenever you need to debug a page using an external library, you can simply add it by running its correspondent snippet!
