Phalcon Debug Widget

Requirements

• PHP: v5.5.0+
• Phalcon: v2.0+

Installation

Include it in your composer.json file, _(*1)

{
    "require-dev": {
        "phalcon-tools/debugger": "dev-master"
    }
}

Usage and Configuration

Define a debug or environment flag in your application bootstrap file so you can easily disable the Phalcon Debug Widget on production environments. e.g., _(*2)

define('PHALCON_DEBUG', true);

After you have setup your \Phalcon\Loader and \Phalcon\DI\FactoryDefault() create a new instance of the debug widget., _(*3)

if (PHALCON_DEBUG == true) {
    $debugWidget = new \Phalcon\Debug\DebugWidget($di);
}

That's it! The Phalcon debug widget should appear along the bottom of your application!, _(*4)

How it works

The debug widget for now is very simplistic, however can be useful. It expects you have three services in your dependency injector named:, _(*5)

• db
• dispatcher
• view

It expects these services to match the Phalcon services of the same name., _(*6)

When you pass the DI to Phalcon Debug Widget It looks for those specific services and does the following:, _(*7)

• Sets them as shared services
• Sets the eventManager for them
• Attaches itself to those events

This means passing the DI to the debug widget will alter those services. Generally speaking, a shared db, dispatcher, and view is fine. If you have ideas for other ways to hook in, please open an issue for discussion., _(*8)

The Phalcon Debug Widget is designed to make development easier by displaying debugging information directly in your browser window. Currently it displays php globals such as $_SESSION as well as outputing resource usage and database queries and connection information., _(*9)
