BetterSJR improves server-generated JavaScript (SJR) responses in Rails by adding error messages for debugging.
When enabled, all SJR response templates will be automatically wrapped in a try-catch statement, and the error message of any thrown exception will be printed to the console.
For more information on common SJR errors, read this article.
This gem has been tested against Ruby >= 2.1 and Rails >= 4.0.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'better_sjr'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install better_sjr
Debugging is not enabled by default.
To enable in development only (recommended), add an initializer and set debug_sjr.
# config/initializers/better_sjr.rb
BetterSJR.debug_sjr = Rails.env.development?JavaScript runtime errors will now be caught and printed to the browser console instead of failing silently.
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
