instance method `inspect`

Ruby on Rails 7.2.3

Since v4.0.13

Compare with:

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!">"
