 Do you love working with JavaScript? Are you a
student learning JavaScript who needs to test code inside your browser?
Do you just want to try out some cool extensions for Chrome?
Well, if
you answered yes to any of the above questions, this list of JavaScript
extensions for Google Chrome is just for you! It’s a known fact that
Firefox has some pretty awesome Add-ons for Web development purposes -
including debugging and testing tools, but what about Chrome? Let’s take
a look at what Chrome has to offer and see if the extensions can
compare to Firefox.
A web developers tool that lets you execute JavaScript via the console, as well as inspect the HTML and CSS of any Web page.
Get
notified immediately of any JavaScript errors on the current Web page
you’re viewing; click to view the error text and source. JsError is a great alternative to this extension.
Cleans
up and formats JavaScript files so that they’re easier to read and
pretty to look at; also adds syntax highlighting. Three alternative to
this extension are JSBeautify, JavaScript Beautifier, and Format JavaScript.
“Adds
support to the Chrome omnibox so that you can search for and
auto-complete JavaScript functions and prototypes from online JavaScript
reference documentation.”
Gives
you one-click access to popular JavaScript plugins and frameworks from
sites like: jQuery, SWFObject, WebFont Loader, LiveValidation, Google
Chrome Frame, Firebug, and much more.
Adds
a shortcut to your browser so that you can run and test JavaScript on
the current Web page; there is a short list of shortcuts and functions
that you can use.
If you don’t want JavaScript to run on certain websites, use this to add those domains to your blacklist.
Adds
an extra functionality to the Chrome console/inspector that lets you
keep track of events registered for each element in a DOM.
Adds
numerous Web developer tools to your browser including the ability to
view and beautify JavaScript, view generated source, show hidden
elements, and much more.
Lets
you inspect Web frameworks/applications and running JavaScript
libraries on any Web page; this extension can detect 100+ different CMS
and JavaScript libraries. The SEO Site Tools and Library Detector extensions also include this capability.
“Gives
you a high degree of ‘NoScript’ like control over what JavaScript,
iframes, and plugins run in your browser to increase security and lower
the CPU usage.”
Adds a small command window at the bottom of your browser that lets you run jQuery and jLinq commands on any Web page.
Lets you create your own extensions from the ground up via HTML, CSS, Flash, and JavaScript.
An
in-browser editor for JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, Java, HTML, and CSS; also
includes built-in (S)FTP access, Dropbox integration, and real-time
syntax debugging. Note: This is technically a Chrome “app” and not an extension. JustEdit is another great in-browser edit that you might like to try out.
