How do I use skuid.$M in the dev console on v2 pages?

Another option here is to use skuid.debug

skuid.debug — Skuid v13.0.4 Documentation

It’s a bit faster I find, you can do skuid.debug.model(‘YourModelName’) and it will get you the model. You can also do skuid.debug.models(‘Partofamodelname’) and it will give you all models with names that contain whatever value you put in quotes. Pretty fun
