This ripl plugin provides a console for rack apps.
Install the gem with:
gem install ripl-rack
As an executable:
$ ripl rack Loading development environment (Rack 1.1)
As a plugin:
$ ripl rails -r ripl/rack
Now let’s use it:
$ ripl rack Loading development environment (Rack 1.1) # your rack app thanks to Rack::Test >> rack #<Ripl::Rack::App:0x3f8cc @env="development" ... > # Make http requests >> rack.get '/' >> rack.post '/login', :user => 'x', :password => 'y' ... # To see what actions you can perform on your app >> rack.actions => [:request, :get, :post, :put, :delete, :head, :follow_redirect!, :header, :set_cookie, :clear_cookies, :authorize, :basic_authorize, :digest_authorize, :last_response, :last_request] # To perform these actions even more naturally >> rackit! => [:request, :get, :post, :put, :delete, :head, :follow_redirect!, :header, :set_cookie, :clear_cookies, :authorize, :basic_authorize, :digest_authorize, :last_response, :last_request] # All of the above methods are now available at the top level >> get '/' >> post '/login', :user => 'x', :password => 'y' ....
To have rack actions in your top-level by default add the following to ~/.riplrc:
Ripl.config[:rackit] = true
