###Chrome Logger Extension

To be able to see the debug messages you send from your server side code you need to install the Chrome Logger Extension from the Chrome Web Store.

Once you have the service provider on you Silex project and the extension installed on your Chrome Browser just enable the extension to start getting your debugging information on the console panel of the Developer Tools.

For more information take a look of Chrome Logger website.

##Usage

Import the namespace and register the ServiceProvider on your Silex application:

use Blackmesa\SilexChromePhp\Provider\ChromePhpServiceProvider;

$app->register(new ChromePhpServiceProvider());

Now you can access to $app['chromephp'] object and call it's methods.

###Available methods

error
log
table
group
groupCollapsed
groupEnd

$app->get('/myroute', function() use ($app) {
    try
    {
        $app['chromephp']->info('Let\'s render the view!'); 
        return $app['twig']->render('mytemplate.html.twig');
    }
    catch(Exception $e)
    {
        $app['chromephp']->error($e);
        throw $e;
    }
    $app['chromephp']->warn('This is impossible!!!');
