DevToolbar

First Draft DevToolbar for appdev-projects beginner ergonomics in Rails applications.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

group :development do
  gem "dev_toolbar"
end

Then execute:

bundle install

Then, add a configuration file with the names and routes you want links for:

# config/initializers/dev_toolbar.rb

if Rails.env.development?
  DevToolbar.configure do |config|
    config.links = [
      { name: "Routes", path: "/rails/info/routes" },
      { name: "Database", path: "/rails/db" }, # rails_db gem must be installed
      { name: "ERD", path: "/erd" }, # erd.png must be in the root folder
      # etc.
    ]
  end
end

Include the JavaScript:

# config/importmap.rb
pin "dev_toolbar", to: "dev_toolbar/index.js"
pin "dev_toolbar/toolbar", to: "dev_toolbar/toolbar.js"

```js
// app/javascripts/application.js
import "dev_toolbar"

Include the CSS:

/* app/assets/stylesheets/application.css */
@import url("dev_toolbar.css");

These routes will now appear on every page in your app while in development.
