My Pry customizations for Rails console
I'm using Pry for my Rails console, I have defined the following alias in my ~/.zshrc to start the rails console using Pry:
alias sc='./script/console --irb=pry'
The .pryrc file is analogous to the .irbrc file for IRB. You can use the .pryrc file to customize Pry.
Below is my ~/.pryrc file:
The first line configure SublimeText 3 as Pry's editor
The methods unbundled_require and load_gem allows me to load an installed gem that is not included in the current project's Gemfile. In my case I'm loading the awesome_print gem (line 45) to pretty prints Ruby objects in full color exposing their internal structure with proper indentation
And then depending on the current Rails version, I configure the Rails logger (Rails 2) or the ActiveRecord logger (Rails 3) to use the STDOUT, in order to print the SQL statements to console.
This is how it looks my Rails console with these customizations:
