🔍 Leverage Pry-Rails for In-Depth Object Inspection​

Pry-Rails replaces the standard Rails console with Pry, providing syntax highlighting, command history, and powerful introspection commands. Use binding.pry to jump into a context where you can explore object methods, change variables, or even redefine methods before continuing execution.

# Gemfile
gem 'pry-rails'
gem 'pry-byebug'

# app/models/order.rb
class Order < ApplicationRecord
  def total_price
    binding.pry  # Pause here and inspect `self`
    line_items.sum(&:price)
  end
end

In the console prompt, type ls to list methods/variables or show-source Order to view class source.
