Angular watchers

Check how many watchers are active in an angular app

Angular Watchers is a powerful Chrome extension designed for AngularJS developers to monitor the number of active watchers on any page. It provides a live count, automatically updating to reflect changes in watcher numbers, helping optimize app performance and facilitate debugging.

Key features include displaying the total watchers on the current page, showing the difference from the previous count, and a visual graph plotting watcher counts over time with up to 25 data points. Users can select specific iframes for watcher counting and toggle between graph and counter views as well as dark and light themes. The extension also exposes Angular modules globally via window.$$am and supports manually bootstrapped Angular apps by allowing bootstrapped element input.

Developed by Giulio Dellorbo, Tiago Almeida, and Firmino Alves, Angular Watchers is an essential tool for improving AngularJS app efficiency and debugging workflows.
