is there a way of debugging the angularjs application when it is loaded in the browser?
ie. I wish to get the $rootScope of my current application. How would I do that?

Also, you can get the scope from any element in the DOM by executing the following from the console
angular.element(DOMNODE).scope()
Where DOMNODE, is of course, a reference to a DOM node.
For example, in Chrome in the elements tab you can select the node where the ng-app directive is, and get the root scope with
angular.element($0).scope()
Batarang -- A Google Chrome plugin for AngularJS
After you installed this, you can do
console.log($rootScope);
and check the scope object in your chrome console.
BTW, if you want to get $rootScope, you need to inject to your controller
like
app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, $rootScope) {
}
In the developer console try this
$rootScope = angular.element(document).scope()
You can see the $rootScope in your sources Developer Tools->Sources
Just wanted to add that there is a free Chrome Extension called "Angular Scope Inspector" (current store url) that will automatically inspect scope of selected elements in the developer tools elements tab
I just discovered it today, and it's very useful, IMO
