How to access the Ember Data Store from the console?

Question

In Ember 2+, does anyone know how to get a reference to the Ember Store in order to troubleshoot Model mapping in the javascript console?

It was possible through App.__container__.lookup in Ember 1, but this doesn't exist anymore, and it's bloody hard to find documentation on this.

Thanks

If you don't want to install a separate package to access your app in the console, you can do it through window.Ember.Namespace.NAMESPACES. For example, something you can run in the console to find your app instance is:

var app = Ember.A(Ember.Namespace.NAMESPACES).filter(n => {return n.name === 'your-app-name'})[0];

From here, you can access the store on the app's container as explained by @GJK

var store = app.__container__.lookup('service:store');

I used this for debugging an Ember app in production which didn't have its container registered on the window. I found it out by looking through the ember-inspector source code, since it always has access to the container.
