README

Using this will show the file and line number which called the dump function. Very handy if you've forgotten where you put that pesky call, especially deep inside the vendor directory.

Cloned and updated from:

https://github.com/morrislaptop/var-dumper-with-context

Original package seems to be abandoned, so I decided to claim and maintain it. Credit to the original author/package is due though!

Installation

composer require symfony/var-dumper --dev && composer require morrislaptop/var-dumper-with-context --dev

Usage

That's it! Simply call dump() as you normally would and the file and line number will appear.

Env Variables

If you would like to generate links to the file and line for IDE you can set the following environment variables:

VAR_DUMPER_REMOTE_BASE_PATH=/usr/share/deploys/your-project/current
VAR_DUMPER_LOCAL_BASE_PATH=/Users/your.user/dev/your-project
VAR_DUMPER_IDE=phpstorm
# vscode, phpstorm, sublime, textmate, emacs, macvim, idea, atom, nova, netbeans

Laravel Note

Laravel 5.7 ships with beyondcode/laravel-dump-server which will disable this extension. To enable this extension again, simply add the below to your application's composer.json and run php artisan package:discover again.

    "extra": {
        "laravel": {
            "dont-discover": [
                "beyondcode/laravel-dump-server"
            ]
        }
    },
