Railsochrome

Project was created just for fun and out of curiosity.

The idea of this project is to print log messages from the Rails app in a Chrome console. It will work even if you have a simple JSON API call.

What is funny, is that it can log messages from the models. Just call a class method Railsochrome.log.

How it works see on the diagram below:

Usage

1. Clone the repo

2. Install chrome extension from the source code.

3. Add gem and use in your code:

  # controller
  def index
    Railsochrome.log("Opening index action")
    Railsochrome.log("user_id = #{rand(111)}")
    Railsochrome.log("account_id = #{rand(111)}")

    @projects = Project.all
  end

  # model
  class Project < ApplicationRecord
    after_initialize do
      Railsochrome.log("after_initialize project id=#{self.id}")
    end
  end

4. Result:

Installation

gem "railsochrome"

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install railsochrome
