Description

SnoopDogg version '0.1.3' adds a powerful inspect-type method to Rails applications (i.e. 'snoop'). The 'snoop' method formats and displays Model data in ways that human eyes can more easily digest. Simply put, SnoopDogg version '0.1.3' is a nicer way to see Models.

Usage

SnoopDogg is a nicer way to see Models

Simply call 'snoop' on a Model

• Call 'snoop' on any Model to view the Model's attributes printed out to the console
• The Model's attributes will be sorted, color coded, and printed to the console one line at a time
• The 'snoop' method can be called directly on the Model's class, this will print empty attributes to the console

Feed 'snoop' arguments to view a Model's associations too

• 'snoop' can take arguments in the form of keys matching a Model's associations
• If the association is one-to-one, 'snoop' will find the associated record and print it below it's parent
• If the association is one-to-many, 'snoop' will print every associated record matching that relationship
• 'snoop' is powerful, it can print out multiple associations at once | e.g. User.first.snoop(:address, :comments)

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'snoop_dogg'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install snoop_dogg
