Question

I know that one can use Pry to see what a model in composed of but is there a way to see the various attributes of a model in the Rails console without Pry? What is the command?

I know I can go looking at the migration but I’d rather stay in the command line where possible.

Thanks

From script/console or irb you can just issue the name of the class and it will return the attributes.

For instance, with a Post model:

>> Post
=> Post(id: integer, title: string, body: text, created_at: datetime)
