5 Surprising ways to use Rails console

This content originally appeared on DEV Community and was authored by Moiz Ali

While running on Rails, there's been hardly a day when you don't pull up rails console. Having basic mode and usage is fine but to spice up things a little bit I would like to share some tricks in this regard.

View Tables

Just run this command and get a glimpse of tables

Sandbox Mode

You can enable sandbox mode, so that commands are rolled back once you exit

Make HTTP Requests

Being lazy to hit a route through chrome or any other browser, just play with app object's methods!

Locate Method Source

Its a kindof search feature that a code editor also offers, but helpful one for the rubyists

Block Returned Output

If you're annoyed from the return value by iterators and other structures, this will let you cool down!

Does it worth time saving?. Let me know inside comments.
