Development Mode ​

🔥 Hot Tips

  • Use --dev flag for auto-reload on file changes
  • SCSS auto-compilation in dev mode
  • Debug logging at maximum verbosity

Starting in Dev Mode ​

bash
tina4 start --dev

This enables:

  • Auto-reload: File watcher restarts the server when route files change
  • SCSS compilation: .scss files in src/scss/ auto-compile to public/css/
  • Verbose logging: Full debug output

Interactive Console ​

Launch an IRB console with Tina4 loaded:

bash
tina4 console
ruby
irb> Tina4::Router.routes.length
=> 5
irb> User.all.count
=> 42
irb> Tina4.database.fetch("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users")

Route Inspector ​

List all registered routes:

bash
tina4 routes
Registered Routes:
------------------------------------------------------------
  GET      /
  GET      /api/hello
  POST     /api/users [AUTH]
  GET      /api/users/{id:int}
------------------------------------------------------------
Total: 4 routes

Debug Levels ​

Set in .env:

env
TINA4_DEBUG_LEVEL=ALL      # Everything (default in dev)
TINA4_DEBUG_LEVEL=Info     # Info and above (recommended for production)
TINA4_DEBUG_LEVEL=Error    # Errors only
