Output data to web browser in ruby-on-rails?

Question

In PHP I could echo data to the web browser to debug.

eg. echo print_r($array)

How do I do that in RoR? I tried with puts with no luck.

Is there a way?

Answer 1

You could try using:

 <%= debug(@array) %>

in the template file or use something like:

 logger.info @array.inspect 

in your controller. This will print the contents of array into the server development log.
