FirePHP Rails Plugin

This plugin allows you to log messages and objects from your Rails controllers and views to the FirePHP console.

You can use firephp, or its alias fb

The first parameter is the message to be sent. This can be any Ruby object that responds to the to_json method.

The second optional parameter is the log level as a symbol. This can be one of :log, :info, :warn, or :error. It defaults to :log.

Messages will not be logged in the production environment.

This plugin is based on the rails-firephp gem.

Installation

Install the plugin:

script/plugin install git://github.com/smith/firephp_rails.git

Add to your application controller:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  ...
  include FirePHP
  ...
end

Example

In a controller:

class ThingsController < ApplicationController
  ...
  def index
    ...
    firephp(params)
    fb("OK!", :info)
    ...
  end
  ...
end

In a view:

<% fb("Uh-oh!", :warn) %>
