Installing the Inspector

The Ember Inspector is a browser add-on designed to help you understand and debug your Ember applications.

You can install the Inspector on Google Chrome, Firefox, other browsers (via a bookmarklet), and on mobile devices by following the steps below.

You can install the Inspector on Google Chrome as a new Developer Tool. To begin, visit the Extension page on the Chrome Web Store.

Click on "Add To Chrome":

Once installed, go to an Ember application, open the Developer Tools, and click on the Ember tab at the far right.

To use the Inspector with the file:// protocol, visit chrome://extensions in Chrome and check the "Allow access to file URLs" checkbox:

You can configure a Tomster icon to show up in Chrome's URL bar whenever you are visiting a site that uses Ember.

Visit chrome://extensions, then click on Options.

Make sure the "Display the Tomster" checkbox is checked.

Visit the Add-on page on the Mozilla Add-ons site.

Click on "Add to Firefox".

Once installed, go to an Ember application, open the Developer Tools, and click on the Ember tab.

To enable the Tomster icon to show up in the URL bar whenever you are visiting a site that uses Ember visit about:addons.

Click on Extensions -> Preferences.

Then make sure the "Display the Tomster icon when a site runs Ember.js" checkbox is checked.

If you are using a browser other than Chrome or Firefox, you can use the bookmarklet option to use the Inspector.

Add the following bookmark:

To open the Inspector, just click on the new bookmark. Safari blocks popups by default, so you'll need to enable popups before using the bookmarklet.

If you want to run the Inspector on a mobile device, you can use the Ember CLI Remote Inspector addon.
