Instance Method Details

#pretty_print(q) ⇒ Object

A default pretty printing method for general objects. It calls #pretty_print_instance_variables to list instance variables.

If self has a customized (redefined) #inspect method, the result of self.inspect is used but it obviously has no line break hints.

This module provides predefined #pretty_print methods for some of the most commonly used built-in classes for convenience.

#pretty_print_inspect ⇒ Object

Is #inspect implementation using #pretty_print. If you implement #pretty_print, it can be used as follows.

alias inspect pretty_print_inspect

However, doing this requires that every class that #inspect is called on implement #pretty_print, or a RuntimeError will be raised.

  end
  PP.singleline_pp(self, ''.dup)
end

#pretty_print_instance_variables ⇒ Object

Returns a sorted array of instance variable names.

This method should return an array of names of instance variables as symbols or strings as: [:@a, :@b].
