ValueInspect

Provides implementation of #inspect that is more readable and can be used in irb. Especially useful for BigDecimal#inspect.

Usage

without this gem:

Person = Struct.new :name, :age

Date.new(1970, 1, 1).inspect
# => #<Date: 1970-01-01 ((2440588j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>

BigDecimal("3.14").inspect
# => #<BigDecimal:7f97bb1cd658,'0.314E1',18(18)>

Person.new("John Doe", 20).inspect
# => #<struct Person name=\"John Doe\", age=20>

with this gem:

# remember to put `require "value_inspect"` *after* e.g. `require "bigdecimal"`
require "value_inspect"

Person = Struct.new :name, :age

Date.new(1970, 1, 1).inspect
# => Date.new(1970, 1, 1)

BigDecimal("3.14").inspect
# => BigDecimal("3.14")

Person.new("John Doe", 20).inspect
# => Person.new("John Doe", 20)

# original implementation is still available:
Date.new(1970, 1, 1).original_inspect
# => #<Date: 1970-01-01 ((2440588j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>
