Awesome Print is a Ruby library that pretty prints Ruby objects in full color
exposing their internal structure with proper indentation. Rails ActiveRecord
objects and usage within Rails templates are supported via included mixins.
__NOTE__: awesome_print v1.9.0 may not work on Ruby versions 2.4 or older or Rails versions 4.2 or older.
The upcoming awesome_print v2.0 will *require* Ruby v1.9.3 or later and Rails v3.0 or later.

42
true
```
#### Array with default output limit
```ruby
$ cat > 7.rb
require "awesome_print"
some_array = (1..1000).to_a

[
[ 0] 1,
[ 1] 2,
[ 2] 3,
[ 3] .. [996],
[997] 998,
[998] 999,
[999] 1000

### IRB integration ###
To use awesome_print as default formatter in irb and Rails console add the following
code to your ~/.irbrc file:
```ruby
require "awesome_print"
AwesomePrint.irb!
```
### PRY integration ###
If you miss awesome_print's way of formatting output, here's how you can use it in place
of the formatting which comes with pry. Add the following code to your `~/.pryrc`
or your project's `./.pryrc`:
```ruby
require "awesome_print"
AwesomePrint.pry!
```
### Logger Convenience Method ###
awesome_print adds the 'ap' method to the Logger and ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger classes
letting you call:
logger.ap object
By default, this logs at the :debug level. You can override that globally with:
:log_level => :info
in the custom defaults (see below). You can also override on a per call basis with:
logger.ap object, :warn
### ActionView Convenience Method ###
awesome_print adds the 'ap' method to the ActionView::Base class making it available
within Rails templates. For example:
<%= ap @accounts.first %> # ERB
!= ap @accounts.first # HAML
With other web frameworks (ex: in Sinatra templates) you can explicitly request HTML
formatting:
<%= ap @accounts.first, :html => true %>
### String Convenience Methods ###
Use methods such as `.red` to set string color:
```ruby
irb> puts "red text".red
red text # (it's red)
```
### Setting Custom Defaults ###
You can set your own default options by creating ``.aprc`` file in your home
directory. Within that file assign your defaults to ``AwesomePrint.defaults``.
For example:
```ruby
# ~/.aprc file.
AwesomePrint.defaults = {
:indent => -2,
:color => {
:hash => :pale,
:class => :white
}
}
```
