Can I ignore certain fields that are too long in Hirb?

Question

I am using Hirb in my Rails console to try to display mongoid records in a nicer looking table, but the _id, created_at, and updated_at fields take too much space and, even though I really have one meaning field, name, when I do a Project.first it returns a rather disintegrated table:

Is there any chance that there's a way to 'ignore' or 'hide' certain fields?

Answer 1

When you open up hirb, run this:

table projects, :fields => [:name]

Then Project.all and enjoy! ;-)

UPDATE:

"Hirb also supports a yaml configuration file (config/hirb.yml or ~/.hirb.yml)"
