How to debug JavaScript APIs in Chrome dev tool?

Question

I want to step into(e.g.F11) Object.create() and see what is happening internally. Is there any way to achieve this in Chrome Dev tools?

var o = {name: 'pat'};
var p = Object.create(o);

Object.create is native code. You can't debug it as it's not written in javascript. Wedkit and firefox developers have coded it in C or C++

You can debug this code. Open Dev Tool in Chrome:

Windows: F12

Mac: ⌘ + Option + i

Edit your code and put the "debugger;" before.

debugger;
var o = {name: 'pat'};
var p = Object.create(o);

Navigate with F11
