Manage your Ruby On Rails models, relations, and migrations from a simple UI.
Only tested with Rails 4.2 and Rails 5.1 (should work with any Rails 4.2+ application). Only tested with PostgreSQL.
Add to your
Gemfilefile:
ruby group :development do gem "localtower" end
If you want the latest master branch, add to your
Gemfilefile following:
ruby group :development do gem "localtower", github: "damln/localtower" end
Run command in your terminal:
bash bundle install
Add to your
config/routes.rb: ```ruby MyApp::Application.routes.draw do if Rails.env.development? and defined?(Localtower) mount Localtower::Engine, at: "localtower" end
# Your other routes here: # ... end ```
Open your browser at http://localhost:3000/localtower.
You can put this line anywhere in your code:
Localtower::Plugins::Capture.new(self, binding).save
For example:
def my_method user = User.find(1) some_data = {foo: "bar"}Localtower::Plugins::Capture.new(self, binding).save end
Then go to the Localtower intercave here: http://localhost:3000/localtower/logs and you will see the variables
userand
some_datain the UI.
The value for each variable will try to call
.to_json. If you have a huge collection of models likes
@usersyou will see all the collection as an Array.
If you want to contribute to the gem:
Create a
spec/dummy/.envfile with the credentials to your PostgreSQL Database. It should look like this:
LOCALTOWER_PG_USERNAME="admin" LOCALTOWER_PG_PASSWORD="root_or_smething"
Run the spec:
bash bundle install bundle exec rspec spec/
Notes: Tests are currently very slow because this is testing rails commands so it boots the framework for each test. Zeus or spring should be introduced.
Thanks for reporting issues, I'll do my best.
