A collection of useful debugging functions for developing Ember.js applications, accessible from the browser console.
ember-devtools is an Ember.js addon that provides a collection of debugging functions accessible from the browser console. It helps developers inspect routes, controllers, models, services, and application structure during development, streamlining the debugging process for Ember applications.
Ember.js developers who need efficient debugging tools and want to inspect application internals directly from the console without manual lookups.
It offers a centralized, console-friendly API for common debugging tasks, reducing boilerplate and improving development workflow compared to manual Ember inspector usage or custom debugging code.

Functions like routes() and model() are optimized for direct browser console use, eliminating the need for manual Ember lookups and streamlining debugging workflows.
It provides access to routes, controllers, models, services, and application config, covering a wide range of Ember debugging needs from a single API.
Includes built-in properties like store and typeMaps, making it easier to debug Ember Data models, relationships, and queries directly from the console.
The log function resolves promises and logs them with optional property access, reducing boilerplate code for async debugging scenarios.
Configured to enable only in development environments by default, preventing accidental inclusion in production builds and ensuring safety.
The addon can attach functions to the window object, which might cause conflicts with other global scripts and is explicitly noted as undesirable ('eww!') in the README.
It is purely console-based, lacking a visual debugger, which can be less intuitive compared to tools like Ember Inspector for developers who prefer GUI interactions.
Requires Ember CLI integration, and the README's changelog notes updates for compatibility, which could pose challenges for projects with custom build processes or older Ember versions.
The README focuses on function listings with brief examples, potentially lacking guidance for advanced debugging scenarios or edge cases in complex applications.
