BigConsole

Adds a multiline JavaScript console to the Chrome developer tools.

BigConsole Extension for Chrome

BigConsole enhances the Chrome Developer Tools by adding a multiline JavaScript console, bringing a much-needed REPL experience similar to Firefox. This extension features a vertical split console, syntax highlighting provided by Ace Editor, pretty-printed output, and convenient buttons for executing and clearing code.

Key Features

  • Multiline REPL: Write and execute multiple lines of code efficiently.
  • Syntax Highlighting: Leverage Ace Editor for enhanced readability.
  • Execution Controls: Easily run code with a 'Run' button or using CTRL+Enter.
  • History Management: Access previously executed code with a history drop-down.

Please note that BigConsole will not be updated for Chrome 127+ and users can utilize the built-in Snippets editor as an alternative for similar functionalities. Explore the code on GitHub.
