How to use

Gauntlets is light, based on ng.probe, loads instantly and does not need to switch to another tab of the Chrome DevTools.

Just click on a DOM element in the DevTools elements panel, type one of the following keywords in the console and here we go!

• $component: click on a DOM element referring to an Angular component to access its instance and playing with it.
• $context: display a DOM element context, can be its parent Angular component, a ngFor row, etc.
• $scope: equals $component onto Angular components or $context onto child elements. The best alternative of AngularJS Batarang for Angular.
• $providers: get the list of the all the providers instantiated in your Angular app and play with them.
• $detectChanges(): triggers Angular change detection to get your changes apply.
• log$(obs): log the first value of the given observable.

Little extra: you can get a preview of all these info in the Angular tab of your DevTools elements panel. Switching between elements will refresh the data immediately.
