README

This bundle provides a better dump() function, that you can use instead of var_dump(), better meaning:

• per object and resource types specialized view: e.g. filter out Doctrine internals while dumping a single proxy entity, or get more insight on opened files with stream_get_meta_data();
• ability to dump internal references, either soft ones (objects or resources) or hard ones (=& on arrays or objects properties). Repeated occurrences of the same object/array/resource won't appear again and again anymore. Moreover, you'll be able to inspect the reference structure of your data.
• ability to operate in the context of an output buffering handler.
• full exposure of the internal mechanisms used for walking through an arbitrary PHP data structure.

Calling dump($myVvar) works in all PHP code and {% dump myVar %} or {{ dump(myVar) }} in Twig templates.

Usage

The recommended way to use this package is through composer. Just create a composer.json file and run the php composer.phar install command to install it:

{
    "require": {
        "tchwork/debug-bundle": "~1.4"
    }
}

Then, enable the bundle in your app/AppKernel.php, preferably only for the dev and test environments:

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new \Symfony\Bundle\DebugBundle\DebugBundle(),
    );
}
