Module: IRB
Overview
IRB
stands for “interactive Ruby” and is a tool to interactively execute Ruby expressions read from the standard input.
The .irb command from your shell will start the interpreter.
Usage
Use of irb is easy if you know Ruby.
When executing irb, prompts are displayed as follows. Then, enter the Ruby expression. An input is executed when it is syntactically complete.
$ irb
irb(main):001:0> 1+2
#=> 3
irb(main):002:0> class Foo
irb(main):003:1> def foo
irb(main):004:2> print 1
irb(main):005:2> end
irb(main):006:1> end
#=> nil
The singleline editor module or multiline editor module can be used with irb. Use of multiline editor is default if it’s installed.
Command line options
Usage: irb.rb [ ] [programfile] [arguments]
-f Suppress read of ~/.irbrc
-d Set $DEBUG to true (same as `ruby -d')
-r load-module Same as `ruby -r'

Configuration
IRB
reads from ~/.irbrc
when it’s invoked.
If ~/.irbrc
doesn’t exist, .irb will try to read in the following order:
-
.irbrc
-
irb.rc
-
_irbrc
-
$irbrc
The following are alternatives to the command line options. To use them type as follows in an .irb session:
IRB.conf[:IRB_NAME]="irb"
IRB.conf[:INSPECT_MODE]=nil
IRB.conf[:IRB_RC] = nil
IRB.conf[:BACK_TRACE_LIMIT]=16
IRB.conf[:USE_LOADER] = false
IRB.conf[:USE_MULTILINE] = nil
IRB.conf[:USE_SINGLELINE] = nil
IRB.conf[:USE_COLORIZE] = true
IRB.conf[:USE_TRACER] = false
IRB.conf[:USE_AUTOCOMPLETE] = true
IRB.conf[:IGNORE_SIGINT] = true
IRB.conf[:IGNORE_EOF] = false
IRB.conf[:PROMPT_MODE] = :DEFAULT
IRB.conf[:PROMPT] = {...}
Auto indentation
To disable auto-indent mode in irb, add the following to your .irbrc
:
IRB.conf[:AUTO_INDENT] = false
Autocompletion
To enable autocompletion for irb, add the following to your .irbrc
:
require 'irb/completion'
History
By default, irb will store the last 1000 commands you used in IRB.conf[:HISTORY_FILE]
(~/.irb_history
by default).
If you want to disable history, add the following to your .irbrc
:
IRB.conf[:SAVE_HISTORY] = nil
See Context#save_history= for more information.
The history of results of commands evaluated is not stored by default, but can be turned on to be stored with this .irbrc
setting:
IRB.conf[:EVAL_HISTORY] = <number>
See Context#eval_history= and History
class. The history of command results is not permanently saved in any file.
Customizing the IRB Prompt
In order to customize the prompt, you can change the following Hash:
IRB.conf[:PROMPT]
This example can be used in your .irbrc
IRB.conf[:PROMPT][:MY_PROMPT] = { # name of prompt mode
:AUTO_INDENT => false, # disables auto-indent mode
:PROMPT_I => ">> ", # simple prompt
:PROMPT_S => nil, # prompt for continuated strings
:PROMPT_C => nil, # prompt for continuated statement
:RETURN => " ==>%s\n" # format to return value
}
IRB.conf[:PROMPT_MODE] = :MY_PROMPT
Or, invoke irb with the above prompt mode by:
irb --prompt my-prompt
Constants PROMPT_I
, PROMPT_S
and PROMPT_C
specify the format. In the prompt specification, some special strings are available:
%N # command name which is running
%m # to_s of main object (self)
%M # inspect of main object (self)
%l # type of string(", ', /, ]), `]' is inner %w[...]
%NNi # indent level. NN is digits and means as same as printf("%NNd").
# It can be omitted
%NNn # line number.
%% # %
For instance, the default prompt mode is defined as follows:
IRB.conf[:PROMPT_MODE][:DEFAULT] = {
:PROMPT_I => "%N(%m):%03n:%i> ",
:PROMPT_N => "%N(%m):%03n:%i> ",
:PROMPT_S => "%N(%m):%03n:%i%l ",
:PROMPT_C => "%N(%m):%03n:%i* ",
:RETURN => "%s\n" # used to printf
}
irb comes with a number of available modes:
# :NULL:
# :PROMPT_I:
# :PROMPT_N:
# :PROMPT_S:
# :PROMPT_C:
# :RETURN: |
# %s
# :DEFAULT:
# :PROMPT_I: ! '%N(%m):%03n:%i> '
# :PROMPT_N: ! '%N(%m):%03n:%i> '
# :PROMPT_S: ! '%N(%m):%03n:%i%l '
# :PROMPT_C: ! '%N(%m):%03n:%i* '
# :RETURN: |
# => %s
# :CLASSIC:
# :PROMPT_I: ! '%N(%m):%03n:%i> '
# :PROMPT_N: ! '%N(%m):%03n:%i> '
# :PROMPT_S: ! '%N(%m):%03n:%i%l '
# :PROMPT_C: ! '%N(%m):%03n:%i* '
# :RETURN: |
# %s
# :SIMPLE:
# :PROMPT_I: ! '>> '
# :PROMPT_N: ! '>> '
# :PROMPT_S:
# :PROMPT_C: ! '?> '
# :RETURN: |
# => %s
# :INF_RUBY:
# :PROMPT_I: ! '%N(%m):%03n:%i> '
# :PROMPT_N:
# :PROMPT_S:
# :PROMPT_C:
# :RETURN: |
# %s
# :AUTO_INDENT: true
# :XMP:
# :PROMPT_I:
# :PROMPT_N:
# :PROMPT_S:
# :PROMPT_C:
# :RETURN: |2
# ==>%s
Restrictions
Because irb evaluates input immediately after it is syntactically complete, the results may be slightly different than directly using Ruby.
IRB Sessions
IRB
has a special feature, that allows you to manage many sessions at once.
You can create new sessions with Irb.irb
, and get a list of current sessions with the jobs
command in the prompt.
Commands
JobManager
provides commands to handle the current sessions:
jobs # List of current sessions
fg # Switches to the session of the given number
kill # Kills the session with the given number
The exit
command, or .irb_exit, will quit the current session and call any exit hooks with .irb_at_exit.
A few commands for loading files within the session are also available:
source
-
Loads a given file in the current session and displays the source lines, see IrbLoader#source_file
irb_load
-
Loads the given file similarly to Kernel#load, see IrbLoader#irb_load
irb_require
-
Loads the given file similarly to Kernel#require
Configuration
The command line options, or .conf, specify the default behavior of Irb.irb
.
On the other hand, each conf in IRB@Command+line+options is used to individually configure .irb.
If a proc is set for IRB.conf[:IRB_RC]
, its will be invoked after execution of that proc with the context of the current session as its argument. Each session can be configured using this mechanism.
Session variables
There are a few variables in every Irb
session that can come in handy:
_
-
The value command executed, as a local variable
__
-
The history of evaluated commands. Available only if
IRB.conf[:EVAL_HISTORY]
is notnil
(which is the default). See also IRB::Context#eval_history= and IRB::History. __[line_no]
-
Returns the evaluation value at the given line number,
line_no
. Ifline_no
is a negative, the return valueline_no
many lines before the most recent return value.

# kill jobs 1, 2, and 3
