brice - Extra cool IRb goodness for the masses¶ ↑

VERSION¶ ↑

This documentation refers to brice version 0.2.7

DESCRIPTION¶ ↑

Enhances your IRb experience by adding new functionality and by providing a framework that you can utilize to add your own extensions. It comes with a set of pre-selected features (see the files in lib/brice/rc), but is highly configurable in that regard.

Add this to your ~/.irbrc and receive the default goodness:

require 'rubygems'
require 'brice/init'  # equivalent to: require 'brice'; Brice.init

Or get some more control over the configuration:

require 'rubygems'
require 'brice'

Brice.init { |config|
  ...
}

See Brice::Config for what you can configure, and how.

It will even load your own extensions that you place in your ~/.brice directory. See Brice::DSL for helpers provided.

Please note that further changes to the configuration for brice can't be guaranteed to have any effect after Brice.init has been called.
