= Toffee

Candy for your "puts"-debugging!

= Usage

Put the method call: "d" (almost) anywhere in your code to print out debug information:

['a', 'b', 'c'].d.first.d.upcase.d

will print out:

["a", "b", "c"] "a" "A"

"d" always returns self, so it will not interfere or do any harm.

== Configure the output (optional)

Write to standard output (default):

Toffee.configure(STDOUT)

or

Toffee.configure(:stdout)

Write to any object that implements ":puts":

Toffee.configure(IO.new(2, 'w'))

Write to any object that implements ":debug":

Toffee.configure(Rails.logger)

Write to any object that implements the second parameter:

Toffee.configure(Rails.logger, :info)

Write to file using the shell command:

$ echo "my output here" > /tmp/foo.log

Toffee.configure('/tmp/foo.log')

== Options

:timestamp Turn on timestamps with true, turn if off with nil or false; to use a custom timestamp format, pass a string with a Time.strftime kind of format
