PutsJS
Love Ruby’s ‘puts’ syntax? Hate typing ‘console.log’ everytime you want to print something to the web-browser’s console from your Coffecript? Then use putsjs in your rails application. putsjs is a simple gem that allows browser console logging statements to be written as puts statements in your coffescript files and during asset compilation converts them into console.log statements.
Installation
-
Add PutsJS to your Gemfile:
gem 'putsjs' -
Change directory to your Rails app root and Run bundle installer to install PutsJS:
bundle install
Usage
In your coffescript files just use puts followed by any valid statement to log the statement to the browser’s console.
Example:
-
puts “Rails is awesome!”
-
puts this
