How to create a Javascript Bookmark in Chrome:

You can use a Javascript bookmark: https://helloacm.com/how-to-write-chrome-bookmark-scripts-step-by-step-tutorial-with-a-steemit-example/. Just create a bookmark to look like this:

Ex:

Name:

Test javascript bookmark in Chrome

URL:

javascript:alert('Hello world!');

Just precede the URL with javascript:, followed by your Javascript code. No space after the colon is required.

Here's how it looks as I'm typing it in:

Now save and then click on your newly-created Javascript bookmark, and you'll see this:

You can do multi-line scripts too. If you include any comments, however, be sure to use the C-style multi-line comments ONLY (/* comment */), and NOT the C++-style single-line comments (// comment), as they will interfere. Here's an example:

URL:

javascript:

/* This is my javascript demo */

function multiply(a, b) 
{
    return a * b;
}

var a = 1.4108;
var b = 3.7654;
var result = multiply(a, b);
alert('The result of ' + a + ' x ' + b + ' = ' + result.toFixed(4));

And here's what it looks like as you edit the bookmark, after copying and pasting the above multi-line script into the URL field for the bookmark:

.

And here's the output when you click on it:

if you don t want to create an explicitly a js file but still want to test your javascript code  you can use snippets to run your JS code   Follow the steps here     Open Dev Tools Go to Sources Tab Under Sources tab go to snippets    New snippet Past your JS code in the editor then run command   enter in Mac   You should see the output in console if you are using console log or similar to test  You can edit the current web page that you have open or run scripts  load more javascript files   Just note  this snippets are not stored on as a js file  unless you explicitly did  on your computer so if you remove chrome you will lose all your snippets   You also have a option to save as your snippet if you right click on your snippet

You need an HTML page to load a JS file

You can also open your js file path in the chrome browser which will only display text   However you can dynamically create the page by including   var script   document createElement  script    script type    text javascript   script src    myjs js   document head appendChild script     Now you can have access to the js variables and functions in the console   Now when you explore the elements it should have  included   So not i guess you dont need a html file

Usually one uses text editor to create source files  like JavaScript   I use VisualStudio which have intellisence supprt for JavaScript  but any other editor will do  vim or notepad on Windows are both fine    To run JavaScript by itself you need something that can do that  I e  on Windows you can directly run script from console using CScript script js command  There are other ways to run JavaScript on Windows and other OS    Browsers  like Chrome  do not run JavaScript by itself  only as part of a page or extensions  It is unclear what one would expect of browser to do with JavaScript by itself

You don t necessarily need to have an HTML page  Open Chrome  press Ctrl Shift j and it opens the JavaScript console where you can write and test your code   - Chrome JavaScript Console
