ember-console-utils v0.0.0

ember-console-utils

These are some super handy utilities for quickly getting the view, controller, or model for an inspected element in modern browsers. Has only been tested in Chrome/Safari currently.

There is a little known (from my experience) feature that when you right-click an element in your browser and choose "Inspect Element" that a reference to that element is injected into the console's scope. You can access the inspected element as $0. There is also a history kept, so $1, $2, etc. also can be used.

When you include ember-console-utils in your app (which should probably only be done during development), you can quickly inspect any element and call $0.view() to walk up the DOM tree and find the nearest Ember view. There are also $0.controller(), $0.template(), and $0.model() methods.

Have more ideas?
