ember-devtools

A collection of useful functions for developing Ember apps. Best served from the console.

Usage

ember-devtools is an Ember.Service that is most useful when available in the devtools console. The simplest was access this from the console is using a global variable (eww!) which can be defined in config/environment.js.

var ENV = {
  'ember-devtools': {
    global: true,
    enabled: environment === 'development'
  }
}

Setting global will allow access to the devTools functions globally (eg. you can run routes() in the console). If you'd prefer these functions to be under a prefix set global: 'devTools' for devTools.routes().

The enabled option will enable the addon. By default, this addon will only be included in the development environment.

Alternatively you can use Ember.inject.service('ember-devtools') or appInstance.lookup('service:ember-devtools').

Functions

app([name])

Returns the named application. name defaults to main.

routes()

Returns the names of all routes.

route([name])

Returns the named route. name defaults to the current route.

router([name])

Returns the named router instance. name defaults to main.

model([name])

Returns the model for the named controller. name defaults to the the current route.

service(name)

Performs a lookup for the named service in the owner (using 'service:' + name).

controller([name])

Returns the named controller. name defaults to the current route.

log(promise[, property[, getEach]])

Resolves the promise and logs the resolved value using console.log. Also sets window.$E to the resolved value so you can access it in the dev tools console.

If property is specified then $E.get(property) will be logged.

If getEach is true then $E.getEach(property) will be logged.

Examples:

> log(store.find('organisation')) => undefined
> $E.get('length') => 3
> log(store.find('organisation'), 'length') => 3
> log(store.find('organisation'), 'name', true) => array of names

lookup(name)

Performs a lookup for the named entry in the owner, which will in turn ask its resolver if it's not found.

resolveRegistration(name)

Performs a lookup for the named factory in the registry.

ownerNameFor(obj)

Searches the owner to find the name for the specified object (if any).

inspect

Does what it says, in a manner of speaking. Alias to Ember.inspect.

logResolver(bool = true)

Switch logging for the resolver on or off.

logAll(bool = true)

Switch logging for all the things on/off.

logRenders()

Logs the rendering duration (in milliseconds) of each component, view and helper.

globalize()

Attach all of these useful functions to the window object (eww!) - useful for accessing in the console.

getOwner(obj = this)

The owner of the service or specified obj.

config()

Returns the Application config

Properties

owner

The owner of the service. n.b. this is not globalised (to avoid conflict with window.owner), use getOwner() instead.

store

The Ember Data Store.

typeMaps

The Ember Data 'type map'.

Installation
