Debugging Angular applications with Chrome DevTools provides powerful capabilities for inspecting code, setting breakpoints, and analyzing runtime behavior. With over 12 years of Angular development experience since 2014 and as the creator of CoreUI, I’ve debugged complex issues in production Angular applications. Chrome DevTools offers source maps support, allowing you to debug TypeScript code directly in the browser with full debugging capabilities. This approach enables efficient troubleshooting of component logic, services, and application flow.

Setting breakpoints allows pausing JavaScript execution at specific lines to inspect variables, examine call stacks, and step through code for effective debugging. With over 25 years of experience in software development and as the creator of CoreUI, I’ve used breakpoints extensively for troubleshooting complex logic, performance analysis, and understanding code flow. From my expertise, the most versatile approach is using the debugger statement in code or setting visual breakpoints in browser developer tools. These methods provide precise control over execution flow and comprehensive debugging capabilities.
