Hello,
as per the subject, how do I inspect the fields of my application in the browser console?
I suspects they're somewhere under rtl. but the autocompletion didn't help me.

Hello, as per the subject, how do I inspect the fields of my application in the browser console?
Do you mean, how to write all properties of an object to the browser console?
Or to inspect fields in the browser debugger?
I suspects they're somewhere under rtl. but the autocompletion didn't help me.

console?
Or to inspect fields in the browser debugger?
The latter. When I put a breakpoint inside a procedure, I can only see local variables.

The latter. When I put a breakpoint inside a procedure, I can only see
local variables.
So, is it possible or not to inspect fields defined in my TBrowserApplication?

It is possible.
I assume, your program contains a
var
Application: TBrowserApplication;For example in Chrome when paused on a breakpoint look at the right side under Watch and Breakpoints there is Scope.
Under Scope there is Local and Closure. The Application should be there. Depends on where your breakpoint is.

var
Application: TBrowserApplication;

under Watch and Breakpoints there is Scope.

there. Depends on where your breakpoint is.
Ahh, thank you! Now that I'm looking for it I found it in firefox (it was out of view since the area was small and there's no scrollbar until you hover over the panel, so I thought there were no more subpanels). I can inspect all the fields from there, but still I cannot find a way to show them from the console prompt (i.e. when you write a variable in the console and see its value).

I can inspect all the fields from there, but still I cannot find a way to
show them from the console prompt (i.e. when you write a variable in the
console and see its value).
I usually use simply
uses js;
Writeln(TJSJSON.stringify(yourvalue));you can also do
uses web;
console.debug(yourvalue);The effect is usually more or less the same.

That's the old writeln trick, but you need to instrument the program to do that.
I mean how do I inspect the variables in the javascript debugger without previous instrumentation.
I now know I can do that using the "scopes" panel, but I wanted to know how I can see them in the javascript console.
By trial and error I just found that I can see them under
$mod.Application
