README

Automatically add comments to indicate where a view starts and ends in rendered HTML in development mode. Works for any rendered view: it will apply to the root view, @included subviews, and components, at any level of nesting.

Considering this Blade component at resources/views/components/container.blade.php:

<div class="container">
    <x-header />

    <x-main />

    <x-footer />
</div>

The rendered output will be the following, with comments indicating where each component/view starts and ends:

<!-- Starting resources/views/components/container.blade.php -->
<div class="container">
    <!-- Starting resources/views/components/header.blade.php -->
    <header>
        <!-- ... -->
    </header>
    <!-- Ending resources/views/components/header.blade.php -->

    <!-- Starting resources/views/components/main.blade.php -->
    <main>
        <!-- ... -->
    </main>
    <!-- Ending resources/views/components/main.blade.php -->

    <!-- Starting resources/views/components/footer.blade.php -->
    <footer>
        <!-- ... -->
    </footer>
    <!-- Ending resources/views/components/footer.blade.php -->
</div>
<!-- Ending resources/views/components/container.blade.php -->
