Display your routes right at Rails Console, instead of waiting for rake to load your app

gistfile1.rb

# This is part of my .pryrc. 
# I put this at the section where I load Rails stuff, so I can use Pry instead of IRB 
# for my Rails Console sessions

# Once this is loaded, just run the display_routes method from the console to see the same output that rake routes displays.
# I think it's better because I always leave a Rails console session running :)


    require 'rails/application/route_inspector'

    def display_routes
      Rails.application.reload_routes!
      routes = Rails.application.routes.routes
      inspector = Rails::Application::RouteInspector.new
      puts inspector.format(routes, ENV['CONTROLLER']).join "\n"
    end

Why not?

def display_routes
  load 'Rakefile'
  Rake::Task['routes'].execute
end

@tinogomes,

I haven't thought about that! Cool! Now, to see which one is better we would need to do some benchmarking... But I think that running it as a rake task will load more stuff. What do you think?

Thanks!

Nice :-)

👍
