RailsPanel
Chrome extension for Rails development that displays request information directly in browser developer tools.
What is RailsPanel?
RailsPanel is a Chrome extension for Ruby on Rails development that displays detailed request information directly in the browser's Developer Tools panel. It eliminates the need to tail development.log files by providing insights into database query times, rendering performance, parameters, and rendered views for each request. The extension works alongside the meta_request gem to capture and present Rails application data in a structured format.
Ruby on Rails developers working on web applications who need efficient debugging and performance monitoring tools during development. It's particularly useful for developers who frequently analyze request/response cycles and want to reduce context switching between terminal and browser.
Developers choose RailsPanel because it integrates Rails debugging directly into their existing workflow within Chrome Developer Tools, providing immediate access to request data without terminal commands. Its visual presentation of timing metrics and request details makes performance analysis more intuitive compared to parsing log files.
