Hirb

Most of Hirb’s functionality is in Hirb::View. For a tutorial on configuring and creating views see Hirb::View. For a tutorial on dynamic views see Hirb::DynamicView.

:width

:height

:formatter

Boolean which determines if the formatter is enabled. Defaults to true.

:pager

Boolean which determines if the pager is enabled. Defaults to true.

:pager_command

Command to be used for paging. Command can have options after it i.e. ‘less -r’. Defaults to common pagers i.e. less and more if detected.

:ignore_errors

Boolean which ignores internal view errors and continues with original view (i.e. #inspect for irb). Defaults to false.
