How to access the Ember Data Store from the console?

Question

In Ember 2+, does anyone know how to get a reference to the Ember Store in order to troubleshoot Model mapping in the javascript console?

It was possible through App.__container__.lookup in Ember 1, but this doesn't exist anymore, and it's bloody hard to find documentation on this.

Thanks

If you look in your package.json, you should see a ember-export-application-global package that's installed by default (if not, install it). This will export your application not to the global App object, but to a global object that's named after your app. So you might have window.TodoList or window.ShoppingCart instead of window.App. From there you can use this line (similar to Ember 1.x.x):

AppName.__container__.lookup('service:store')

You can also do what I do and create an instance initializer for it:

export default {
    name: 'store-on-app',
    after: 'ember-data',
    initialize(instance) {
        const application = instance.container.lookup('application:main');
        const store = instance.container.lookup('service:store');
        application.set('store', store);
    }
}

Then you can just use AppName.store.
