View list of all JavaScript variables in Google Chrome Console

People also ask

How do I view variables in dev tools?

We can then check what values are stored in any variable at that point of time. Click F12 to open Developer Tools in Chrome. Or we can right-click and select Inspect (Ctrl+Shift+I).

How do I see JavaScript console in Chrome?

Press Command+Option+J (Mac) or Control+Shift+J (Windows, Linux, ChromeOS) to open the Console, right here on this very page.

How do you show variables in inspect element?

To inspect local variable values While running in Debug mode, double-click any variable that appears in the Local Variables window. This displays the Debug Inspector for that local variable. Inspect the variable's value. Change the value by clicking the button with an ellipsis (...) on it.


Is this the kind of output you're looking for?

for(var b in window) { 
  if(window.hasOwnProperty(b)) console.log(b); 
}

This will list everything available on the window object (all the functions and variables, e.g., $ and jQuery on this page, etc.). Though, this is quite a list; not sure how helpful it is...

Otherwise just do window and start going down its tree:

window

This will give you DOMWindow, an expandable/explorable object.


When script execution is halted (e.g., on a breakpoint) you can simply view all globals in the right pane of the Developer Tools window:

chrome-globals


Open the console and then enter:

  • keys(window) to see variables
  • dir(window) to see objects

The window object contains all the public variables, so you can type it in the console and then expand to view all variables/attributes/functions.

If you want to exclude all the standard properties of the window object and view application-specific globals, this will print them to the Chrome console:

{

    const standardGlobals = new Set(["window", "self", "document", "name", "location", "customElements", "history", "locationbar", "menubar", "personalbar", "scrollbars", "statusbar", "toolbar", "status", "closed", "frames", "length", "top", "opener", "parent", "frameElement", "navigator", "origin", "external", "screen", "innerWidth", "innerHeight", "scrollX", "pageXOffset", "scrollY", "pageYOffset", "visualViewport", "screenX", "screenY", "outerWidth", "outerHeight", "devicePixelRatio", "clientInformation", "screenLeft", "screenTop", "defaultStatus", "defaultstatus", "styleMedia", "onsearch", "isSecureContext", "performance", "onappinstalled", "onbeforeinstallprompt", "crypto", "indexedDB", "webkitStorageInfo", "sessionStorage", "localStorage", "onabort", "onblur", "oncancel", "oncanplay", "oncanplaythrough", "onchange", "onclick", "onclose", "oncontextmenu", "oncuechange", "ondblclick", "ondrag", "ondragend", "ondragenter", "ondragleave", "ondragover", "ondragstart", "ondrop", "ondurationchange", "onemptied", "onended", "onerror", "onfocus", "onformdata", "oninput", "oninvalid", "onkeydown", "onkeypress", "onkeyup", "onload", "onloadeddata", "onloadedmetadata", "onloadstart", "onmousedown", "onmouseenter", "onmouseleave", "onmousemove", "onmouseout", "onmouseover", "onmouseup", "onmousewheel", "onpause", "onplay", "onplaying", "onprogress", "onratechange", "onreset", "onresize", "onscroll", "onseeked", "onseeking", "onselect", "onstalled", "onsubmit", "onsuspend", "ontimeupdate", "ontoggle", "onvolumechange", "onwaiting", "onwebkitanimationend", "onwebkitanimationiteration", "onwebkitanimationstart", "onwebkittransitionend", "onwheel", "onauxclick", "ongotpointercapture", "onlostpointercapture", "onpointerdown", "onpointermove", "onpointerup", "onpointercancel", "onpointerover", "onpointerout", "onpointerenter", "onpointerleave", "onselectstart", "onselectionchange", "onanimationend", "onanimationiteration", "onanimationstart", "ontransitionrun", "ontransitionstart", "ontransitionend", "ontransitioncancel", "onafterprint", "onbeforeprint", "onbeforeunload", "onhashchange", "onlanguagechange", "onmessage", "onmessageerror", "onoffline", "ononline", "onpagehide", "onpageshow", "onpopstate", "onrejectionhandled", "onstorage", "onunhandledrejection", "onunload", "alert", "atob", "blur", "btoa", "cancelAnimationFrame", "cancelIdleCallback", "captureEvents", "clearInterval", "clearTimeout", "close", "confirm", "createImageBitmap", "fetch", "find", "focus", "getComputedStyle", "getSelection", "matchMedia", "moveBy", "moveTo", "open", "postMessage", "print", "prompt", "queueMicrotask", "releaseEvents", "requestAnimationFrame", "requestIdleCallback", "resizeBy", "resizeTo", "scroll", "scrollBy", "scrollTo", "setInterval", "setTimeout", "stop", "webkitCancelAnimationFrame", "webkitRequestAnimationFrame", "chrome", "caches", "ondevicemotion", "ondeviceorientation", "ondeviceorientationabsolute", "originAgentCluster", "cookieStore", "showDirectoryPicker", "showOpenFilePicker", "showSaveFilePicker", "speechSynthesis", "onpointerrawupdate", "trustedTypes", "crossOriginIsolated", "openDatabase", "webkitRequestFileSystem", "webkitResolveLocalFileSystemURL"]);

    for (const key of Object.keys(window)) {
        if (!standardGlobals.has(key)) {
            console.log(key)
        }
    }
}

The script works well as a bookmarklet. To use the script as a bookmarklet, create a new bookmark and replace the URL with the following:

javascript:(() => {
    const standardGlobals = new Set(["window", "self", "document", "name", "location", "customElements", "history", "locationbar", "menubar", "personalbar", "scrollbars", "statusbar", "toolbar", "status", "closed", "frames", "length", "top", "opener", "parent", "frameElement", "navigator", "origin", "external", "screen", "innerWidth", "innerHeight", "scrollX", "pageXOffset", "scrollY", "pageYOffset", "visualViewport", "screenX", "screenY", "outerWidth", "outerHeight", "devicePixelRatio", "clientInformation", "screenLeft", "screenTop", "defaultStatus", "defaultstatus", "styleMedia", "onsearch", "isSecureContext", "performance", "onappinstalled", "onbeforeinstallprompt", "crypto", "indexedDB", "webkitStorageInfo", "sessionStorage", "localStorage", "onabort", "onblur", "oncancel", "oncanplay", "oncanplaythrough", "onchange", "onclick", "onclose", "oncontextmenu", "oncuechange", "ondblclick", "ondrag", "ondragend", "ondragenter", "ondragleave", "ondragover", "ondragstart", "ondrop", "ondurationchange", "onemptied", "onended", "onerror", "onfocus", "onformdata", "oninput", "oninvalid", "onkeydown", "onkeypress", "onkeyup", "onload", "onloadeddata", "onloadedmetadata", "onloadstart", "onmousedown", "onmouseenter", "onmouseleave", "onmousemove", "onmouseout", "onmouseover", "onmouseup", "onmousewheel", "onpause", "onplay", "onplaying", "onprogress", "onratechange", "onreset", "onresize", "onscroll", "onseeked", "onseeking", "onselect", "onstalled", "onsubmit", "onsuspend", "ontimeupdate", "ontoggle", "onvolumechange", "onwaiting", "onwebkitanimationend", "onwebkitanimationiteration", "onwebkitanimationstart", "onwebkittransitionend", "onwheel", "onauxclick", "ongotpointercapture", "onlostpointercapture", "onpointerdown", "onpointermove", "onpointerup", "onpointercancel", "onpointerover", "onpointerout", "onpointerenter", "onpointerleave", "onselectstart", "onselectionchange", "onanimationend", "onanimationiteration", "onanimationstart", "ontransitionrun", "ontransitionstart", "ontransitionend", "ontransitioncancel", "onafterprint", "onbeforeprint", "onbeforeunload", "onhashchange", "onlanguagechange", "onmessage", "onmessageerror", "onoffline", "ononline", "onpagehide", "onpageshow", "onpopstate", "onrejectionhandled", "onstorage", "onunhandledrejection", "onunload", "alert", "atob", "blur", "btoa", "cancelAnimationFrame", "cancelIdleCallback", "captureEvents", "clearInterval", "clearTimeout", "close", "confirm", "createImageBitmap", "fetch", "find", "focus", "getComputedStyle", "getSelection", "matchMedia", "moveBy", "moveTo", "open", "postMessage", "print", "prompt", "queueMicrotask", "releaseEvents", "requestAnimationFrame", "requestIdleCallback", "resizeBy", "resizeTo", "scroll", "scrollBy", "scrollTo", "setInterval", "setTimeout", "stop", "webkitCancelAnimationFrame", "webkitRequestAnimationFrame", "chrome", "caches", "ondevicemotion", "ondeviceorientation", "ondeviceorientationabsolute", "originAgentCluster", "cookieStore", "showDirectoryPicker", "showOpenFilePicker", "showSaveFilePicker", "speechSynthesis", "onpointerrawupdate", "trustedTypes", "crossOriginIsolated", "openDatabase", "webkitRequestFileSystem", "webkitResolveLocalFileSystemURL"]);
    for (const key of Object.keys(window)) {
        if (!standardGlobals.has(key)) {
            console.log(key)
        }
    }
})()
