Rails Console
Now that we have created our products table, we can interact with it in Rails. Let’s try it out.
For this, we’re going to use a Rails feature called the console. The console is a helpful, interactive tool for testing our code in our Rails application. Run the following command in the terminal:
$ bin/rails console
You should see a prompt like the following:
Loading development environment (Rails 8.0.2)store(dev)>
Now we can type code that will be executed when we hit Enter
. Try
printing out the Rails version:
store(dev)> Rails.version<!-- hit Enter -->
If the line “8.0.2” appears, it works!
