Convenience wrapper around \Doctrine\Common\Util\Debug::dump()

Doctrine Debug Helper

The Doctrine Debug Helper is a set of convenience functions that wrap \Doctrine\Common\Util\Debug::dump(). Because lazy., _(*1)

Installation

Use [Composer][3] to install Doctrine Debug Helper., _(*2)

{
    "require": {
        "jeremykendall/doctrine-debug-helper": "*"
    }
}

dc() and dcd()

dc() and dcd() wrap \Doctrine\Common\Util\Debug::dump(), but use custom defaults. I much prefer a higher $maxDepth than 2 and I don't want the dump run through html_entity_decode. Since the point of these function is less typing, these functions provide the defaults that I prefer., _(*3)

void dc($var, $maxDepth = 3, $stripTags = false), _(*4)

Prints a dump of the public, protected and private properties of $var., _(*5)

Uses custom defaults: $maxDepth defaults to 3 and $stripTags defaults to false., _(*6)

void dcd($var, $maxDepth = 3, $stripTags = false), _(*7)

Prints a dump of the public, protected and private properties of $var and dies., _(*8)

Uses custom defaults: $maxDepth defaults to 3 and $stripTags defaults to false., _(*9)

Recommendation

, _(*10)

In my opinion, \Doctrine\Common\Util\Debug::dump() is best when Xdebug is installed. You should be using Xdebug in development anyhow, so go install it now. NOW., _(*11)
