How to access the scope variable widgets from chrome's console

function MyCntrl($scope) {
    $scope.widgets = [
        {text:'Widget #1', datarow:1, datacol:1, datasizex:3, datasizey:3},
        {text:'Widget #2', datarow:2, datacol:1, datasizex:3, datasizey:3},
        {text:'Widget #3', datarow:1, datacol:2, datasizex:3, datasizey:3},
        {text:'Widget #4', datarow:2, datacol:2, datasizex:3, datasizey:3}
    ];

Something like $scope.widgets simply doesn't work in the console!

Solution

The scope is bound to the DOM so you need to grab an element and use some angular code to get the scope.

Your best bet is to get an element that the Controller is bound to and have a look at the scope on that.
