With the ppp method, you can add color to console output.

Are you ever frustrated when the Rails log output in your console isn't colored for debugging purposes? ppp_coloring solves this problem.

It can also be conveniently used when running in Docker containers or when checking Sidekiq logs.

gem 'ppp_coloring', '~> 0.1.3'

If you want to use it as easily as the p method, register it in initializers.

Create a file like ppp_initializer.rb in api/config/initializers and register as follows:

def ppp(*args)
  PppColoring.ppp(*args)
end

If you want to use the ppp output only during debugging, it is good to call it as follows:

def ppp(*args)
  PppColoring.ppp(*args) if Rails.env.development?
end

The second argument is optional. (It defaults to :info if omitted)

ppp "test", :info
ppp "test", :warn
ppp "test", :error
ppp "test", :success

Internally, the ppp method outputs to the console using the puts method. It is very simple.
