Breakpoint in JS Code

#debugging

#javascript

A quick way to force a browser to hit a breakpoint in a block of JS code is with the debugger keyword.

//codecodecode
debugger;
someMethodToDebug();
//morecodecodecode

When the browser is running the JS code it will automatically cause a breakpoint to occur in the code. Neat eh?

JavaScript on a page runs with the privileges of that origin. One altered library, tag manager, or snippet can read inputs, change what people see, and call your APIs as the user.
