Write JavaScript in Chrome developer tools

Question

In Firebug, I can type my own JavaScript in the console tab and execute it. Is there a way to type JavaScript in Chrome Developer Tools and execute it?

Answer 1

1. Go to chrome://flags/, enable the "Enable Developer Tools experiments" flag and restart Chrome (or start it with the --enable-devtools-experiments command-line flag.)
2. Open DevTools, go to the Settings dialog, switch to the Experiments tab.
3. Enable the "Snippets support" experiment, close and reopen DevTools.
4. Go to the Sources panel. In the left-hand navigator sidebar, switch to the Snippets tab .
5. Right-click in the [empty] tree in this tab, select the New context menu item.
6. Give the new snippet any name you like and type the snippet body.
7. Once done, click the Run (>) button in the status bar to execute the snippet body. You can set breakpoints in snippets and debug them as ordinary scripts.

Answer 4

You can't debug Javascript, but you can execute it (including jquery) in a REPL in the chrome inspector.

1. Open the inspector
2. Click the button at the bottom left with 3 lines - its tooltip is "show console"
3. Type your javascript and press enter

Note you usually have to go to the Sources tab and click the "pause script execution" button for your javascript to get evaluated.
