Openure in Chrome with OffiDocs

DESCRIPTION

Openure ================================ Openure exposes the internal variables of Backbone Views on a page.

Setup & Use ------------------------- 1. Expose your backbone app in a global variable.

(Flag this off for your isStaff or Admin group only if you'd like) 2. Set that variable name in the Openure extension options at chrome://extensions/ and refresh the page (look for Openure in your extensions and click - 'options') 3. CMND-SHIFT-click on a view.

Notice the view you clicked is highlighted in a lightbox (courtesy of jQuery Spotlight - http://dev7studios.

com/portfolio/jquery-spotlight/) 4. In the Chrome JS console, use the 'view', 'model', 'collection' and 'options' variables.

Details ------------------------- The following variables are defined in the interactive terminal.

* view - the view you clicked * model - the model of the view, if there is one.

Same as typing view.

model * collection - the collection of the view, if there is one.

Same as typing view.

collection * options - the options passed to the view.

Same as typing view.

options Help ------------------------- If you see "openure_key is not defined" then go back to setup step 2. For now, it seems like the Openure Extension Options window needs to remain open :( Working on it.

.

Example ------------------------- You can change the model and call view.

render(), or see the state of a view.

Why ------------------------- It's a hassle to find and drill down into your views from the console.

Going back and adding clogs or debuggers isn't fun either.

Just click and get crazy.

Future Development ------------------------- For a while we were trying to get a jqconsole to appear and be draggable around the screen.

Making this console as good as Chrome's proved very challenging, so this is on a branch for now.

Help make it better! https://github.
