Question

I am getting data returned from running a database query like User.first but because there are so many fields it is hard to read the information. I tried using pp User.first but it didn’t make anything easier to read. Is there something built-in to RoR where I don’t have to install a gem that prettifies it? Also, I don’t want to write an each statement to break it down each time if possible.

If you don’t like pp’s output, I’m not sure what other options you have. If you can get over not wanting a gem, Hirb does this nicely…
