inspect()

Returns the attributes of the record as a nicely formatted string.

“‘ Post.first.inspect #=> “#<Post id: 1, title: ”Hello, World!“, published_at: ”2023-10-23 14:28:11 +0000“>” “`

The attributes can be limited by setting .attributes_for_inspect.

“‘ Post.attributes_for_inspect = [:id, :title] Post.first.inspect #=> “#<Post id: 1, title: ”Hello, World!“>” “`
