DESCRIPTION:

Little tools to enhance your irb experience

INSTALL:

  • sudo gem install srizzo-irber

  • add to your ~/.irbrc

    require 'irber'

BASIC USAGE:

E.g. a class:

class A
  def a
    "a"
  end
end

  • generate a class or method's source code on the fly

    >> psrc A class A < Object def a() "a" end end => nil

    >> psrc A, :a def a() "a" end => nil

  • print its api

    >> papi A A # a()

  • make any object inspect itself

    >> [1,2].puts_it 1 2

    >> [1,2].pp_it [1, 2]

    >> A.psrc_it class A < Object def a() "a" end end

    >> A.papi_it A # a()

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

  • generate a class or method source code on the fly (won't work for all classes and methods e.g: native classes)
  • print any object's formatted api (filters Object, Kernel, Module and Class methods)
  • make an object inspect itself

REQUIREMENTS:

  • Ruby 1.8.x only
  • ParseTree
  • Ruby2Ruby
