How can I debug my Rails application using the console?

You can use the Rails console to interact with your application's models and data. Start by running rails console in your terminal.

What commands can I use to inspect my models?

You can use commands like ModelName.all to fetch all records, or ModelName.find(id) to find a specific record.

How do I modify a record in the console?

You can find the record first, then update it. For example: record = ModelName.find(id) followed by record.update(attribute: value).

Is there a way to test methods directly in the console?

Yes! You can call any instance method directly on an object. For example, object.method_name will execute that method.
