Some Helpful Ruby Gems

• Byebug

  15 3,321 0.0 Ruby

  Debugging in Ruby 2

As far as debugging tools go, the Byebug and Pry are two of the best gems I have found. They are used in different contexts, but for all intents and purposes, including them in your code will halt an operation and allow you to access whatever point in the code you halted within your terminal with a REPL.

• Pry

  35 6,718 7.2 Ruby

  A runtime developer console and IRB alternative with powerful introspection capabilities.

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• faker

If you are working on a new project in Ruby and want to seed it with data, but don't have the time or energy to manually seed every piece of data, Faker is a great gem. Install it with gem install faker, and include it in your gemfile.
