Dumps

Use Dumper class or function dump to view content of your variables and instances without xDebug:

php
protected function indexAction(Dumper $dumper, MemcacheStore $memcacheStore)
{
    $dumper->dump($memcacheStore);
}

php
protected function indexAction(MemcacheStore $memcacheStore)
{
    dump($memcacheStore);
}

Dump

The Spiral Dumper supports the __debugInfo method which allows you to dump only important information.

To hide certain fields of your objects without __debugInfo method, add an "@invisible" annotation to your property.

php
class TestService extends Service
{
    /**
     * Dumping this property will give us nothing, so we can hide it.
     *
     * @invisible
     * @var ContainerInterface
     */
    protected $container = null;
}

Dump function support multiple return and destination options.

php
protected function indexAction(MemcacheStore $memcacheStore)
{
    //Output buffer
    dump($memcacheStore, Dumper::OUTPUT_ECHO);
    
    //Dump information in Spiral\Debug\Debugger log using print_r
    dump($memcacheStore, Dumper::OUTPUT_LOG);

    //Dump information in Spiral\Debug\Debugger log with nice formatting
    dump($memcacheStore, Dumper::OUTPUT_LOG_NICE);

    //Return dump as string
    $dump = dump($memcacheStore, Dumper::OUTPUT_RETURN);

}
