RailsPanel is a Chrome extension for Rails development that will end your tailing of development.log. Have all information about your Rails app requests in the browser - in the Developer Tools panel. Provides insight to db/rendering/total times, parameter list, rendered views and more.
To use this extension you need to add meta_request gem to your app's Gemfile:
group :development do
gem 'meta_request'
endInstall RailsPanel extension from the Chrome WebStore. This is recommended way of installing extension, since it will auto-update on every new version. Note that you still need to update meta_request gem yourself.
If you have a problem installing extension from Chrome Store or just want to run latest and hack on it, just clone the repo (say under /workspace/rails_panel) and in "Developer mode" Chrome Extensions page select "Load Unpacked extension..." and select "/workspace/rails_panel/rails_panel".
- Rails 3, Rails 4, Rails 5
- Ruby 1.9.3, Ruby 2.0, Ruby 2.1, Ruby 2.2, Ruby 2.3
Select your editor on the extension options page: chrome://extensions. Following editors are supported:
- MacVim
- TextMate
- Sublime
- Emacs
- Atom
- RubyMine
If you're using LiveReload or Rack::LiveReload make sure to exclude watching your tmp/ folder because meta_request writes a lot of data there and your browser will refresh like a madman.
You can clear the panel with the usual shortcuts of ⌘+k or ctrl+l.
