Pry::Memory

A tiny gem for automated naming of stuff typed in the console:

[1] pry(main)> a = > 1
=> 1
[2] pry(main)> b = > 2
=> 2
[3] pry(main)> c = > 3
=> 3
[4] pry(main)> d = > a + b + c
=> 6
[5] pry(main)> e = >

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'pry-memory'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install pry-memory

Usage

This gem will be automatically required with require 'pry' once you put into your Gemfile.

Configuration

Put this to your .pryrc file (bundler is not available in .pryrc, so we have to require the gem manually):

require 'pry/memory'
Pry::Memory.start(:abc)

And run pry.

Customization

:abc is a stupid name of strategy that generates lower case letters (a,b,c,...). Also the gem has a pre-defined strategy :a1a2 that generates (a1,a2,a3,...):

[1] pry(main)> a1 = > 1
=> 1
[2] pry(main)> a2 = > 2
=> 2
[3] pry(main)> a3 = > 3
=> 3
[4] pry(main)> a4 = > a1 + a2 + a3

(Activate it by writting Pry::Memory.start(:a1a2))

You can write your own strategy:

Pry::Memory.start do |counter|
  # generate a variable name here
  # you can use counter here, but it's not necessary at all
  # in fact, you can generate a random letters here
  # or even random words :)
end
