Better looking and functioning alternative to PHP's native var_dump(). Built on top of Symfony's VarDumper component, with a Github inspired color theme.

Installation

Install via Composer.

$ composer require pdeans/debuggers-vardumper

Usage

Create a new instance of the Dumper class, and pass any variable to the dump() method for output via the browser or cli. The dump() method accepts an optional second paramater to add a label for the output.

use pdeans\Debuggers\Vardumper\Dumper;

$dumper = new Dumper();

$arr = [1,2,3];
$dumper->dump($arr);

// With label
$dumper->dump($arr, 'array values');

// With label and suppress the source output information (file:line number)
$dumper->dump($arr, 'array values', false);
