List of Rails Session Variables
As a rails novice, one of the more frustrating things I’ve encountered with rails is the inability to search for specific method names in its API. This is because a lot of these methods are dynamically generated helpers that you should know by heart once you’ve mastered the “Rails Way.” Unfortunately for me, I’m not at the point of calling myself a Rails guru, so I still need to know what all I have available to me. In my opinion, nothing is more frustrating than not knowing what methods you have at your disposal.
After doing quite a bit of googling, I was able to find a list of session variables by executing the following in Rails Console:
irb(main):001:0> y app.methods.sort
Rails Session Variables List
Here is my list of Rails Session Variables. These will vary across different apps based upon what gems you have installed. For example, you’ll see methods with “refinery” in the list below, which refers to the RefineryCMS we’ve adopted here at Vert. I highly recommend you execute the command above for your own app.
