README

Purpose

Symfony's VarDumper component is great, but when using it in a stand-alone context, it does not show the file and line number the dump is coming from. Adding this package as a dev requirement will add that functionality to your dumps.

In addition, some configuration is required to use the dump server when using VarDumper as a stand-alone component. This package automatically sets that up.

Usage

Installation

composer require --dev buzzingpixel/symfony-var-dumper-decorator

Now when you call dump() or dd(), you'll get file and line number context with your dumps. And if you start the dump server, your dumps should automatically connect.

Configuration

Configuration is controlled by env.

VAR_DUMPER_THEME

Because the author of this package prefers light themes, the default is light. You can set this env variable to dark to get VarDumper's dark theme.

VAR_DUMPER_SERVER_ADDRESS

This defaults to tcp://127.0.0.1:9912 but if you need to change this for any reason, you can do so with this environment variable.
