You have to proactively add in a pack to launch in a web console in that particular view. A lot of times people will either throw away rays (ERB) and they are able to get the same thing but you can interact with the page w/o full rendering of the application.What I just mentioned what does a web console has a space for?6:18 – Guest.7:23 – Panel: What would happen – if I put a debugging code in my application and it got committed and shipped – what would happen?7:46 – Guest answers.8:24 – Chuck: When you deploy a production I don’t even know what this tag is?8:33 – Guest.9:10 – Chuck: Can I run it on http://sinatrarb.com...or the other ones?9:20 – Guest: If you make a bit of effort...9:42 – Chuck: How does it pass things to the backend?9:52 – Guest.11:22 – Chuck: Let’s say you set this up and you would include the gem in the Rails app – I guess it comes by default.11:36 – Guest.11:58 – Panel: And if you want to embed it in a view in Rails?12:05 – Guest.12:06 – Chuck: That’s nice.12:08 – Guest.12:43 – Panel: I would think that would be the most exciting things. I know the views and how it’s included there is a little bit of a black box for me. I don’t know quite what is going on and that’s after many years of use. Being able to open the web console and see what’s going on and see what I was thinking. Sometimes when I have hard times with my code it’s because I didn’t understand the Rails way and how they organize things. So for me to take a look it dawns on me.13:33 – Guest.13:41 – Panel: I learned Rails on a laptop. I went to terminal mode only and I learned it really, really well.14:21 – Guest.14:27 – Panel: Can web console do a separate JavaScript app and then you have a Ruby API backend – can you use console any plugin to integrate with that?15:00 – Guest.16:20 – Panel: That’s really cool, and good note. When people are developing a gem they keep one type of Ruby or whatever. They don’t take into account that Ruby or the MRI or whatever they are using it’s cool that you are proactive keeping into account the different interpreters and it works across the platform.16:56 – Guest: It’s a tricky business.18:39 – Panel: So is this under active development...
