Class: IRB::Inspector
Overview
An irb inspector
In order to create your own custom inspector there are two things you should be aware of:
Inspector uses #inspect_value, or inspect_proc
, for output of return values.
This also allows for an optional #init+, or init_proc
, which is called when the inspector is activated.
Knowing this, you can create a rudimentary inspector as follows:
irb(main):001:0> ins = IRB::Inspector.new(proc{ |v| "omg! #{v}" })
irb(main):001:0> IRB.CurrentContext.inspect_mode = ins # => omg! #<IRB::Inspector:0x007f46f7ba7d28>
irb(main):001:0> "what?" #=> omg! what?

-
#init ⇒ Object
Proc to call when the inspector is activated, good for requiring dependent libraries.

#initialize(inspect_proc, init_proc = nil) ⇒ Inspector
constructor
Creates a new inspector object, using the given
inspect_proc
when output return values in irb. -
#inspect_value(v) ⇒ Object
Proc to call when the input is evaluated and output in irb.

when output return values in irb.
