Quicklog

Provides an easy way to log a variable value with its label.

Instead of doing

puts "my_var = #{my_var}"

write

ql :my_var

For Ruby 2+ only.

• display output in reverse video, it's easier to see
• not limited to variable logging, can log anything that can be converted to a string

• logging an object attribute: ql :"@user.name"
• logging a plain string: ql "hello world!"

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'quicklog'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install quicklog

I wanted the same kind of functionality that the lll gem offers, but with a shorter syntax.

I found the solution I needed in this stackoverflow answer.

1. Fork it
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
5. Create new Pull Request

• use Awesome Print if available
• logs through Rails.logger if available
