module ActionView module Helpers # Provides a set of methods for making it easier to debug Rails objects. module DebugHelper # Returns a YAML representation of +object+ wrapped with
 and 
. # If the object cannot be converted to YAML using +to_yaml+, +inspect+ will be called instead. # Useful for inspecting an object at the time of rendering. # # ==== Example # # @user = User.new({ :username => 'testing', :password => 'xyz', :age => 42}) %> # debug(@user) # # => #
--- !ruby/object:User
      #   attributes:
      #     updated_at:
      #     username: testing

      #     age: 42
      #     password: xyz
      #     created_at:
      #   attributes_cache: {}
