Acessing AngularJS Scope from browser console

Times to times, one needs to interact with AngularJs at runtime (for debugging purpose ...).

My Teamates frequently ask me "how do I ... check this directive isolated scope structure" for example ...

I think the simple answer is :

1. Select the directive's element for inspection in your debugger.
2. In console you can select it using chrome's helper : $0 , which is the current selected element:

angular.element($0).scope();
