How to debug Angular with Chrome DevTools
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.
How to debug Node.js with Chrome DevTools
Chrome DevTools provides powerful visual debugging for Node.js with breakpoints, step-through execution, variable inspection, and performance profiling. As the creator of CoreUI, a widely used open-source UI library, I’ve debugged production Node.js issues using Chrome DevTools throughout my 11 years of backend development. The most effective approach is running Node.js with –inspect flag and connecting Chrome DevTools for full debugging capabilities. This method enables setting breakpoints, watching variables, profiling CPU and memory, and analyzing async operations with familiar browser DevTools interface.
