Useful new features added to Chrome's Developer tools

Submitted by charles on

Some very useful updates have been introduced to Chrome's developer tools in Chrome 68.

Amongst them, Eager evaluation, function argument hints and autocompletion:

  • Eager Evaluation. As you type expressions, the Console previews the result.
  • Argument hints. As you type functions, the Console shows you the expected arguments for that function.
  • Function autocompletion. After typing a function call such as document.querySelector('p'), the Console shows you the functions and properties that the return value supports.
