Angular DevTools Extension

You can use Angular DevTools to understand the structure of your application and preview the state of the directive and the component instances. To get insights into the execution of the application, you can use the profiler tab, which shows you the individual change detection cycles, what triggered them, and how much time Angular spent in them. You can also inspect and visualize your application's dependency injection tree to better how understand how and why any token was resolved to a specific service.

Danny (ID: 000000e5c307744a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/12/2023 Great when it works but the latest update broke it completely for me. Errors in the console when attempting to select a component to debug with it now. Edit: Looks like this is working again for my project (Angular 16), so I presume the compatibility issue has been fixed.
