And run composer to update your dependencies:

Requirements

This library makes use of the PHP Helpers: Path Functions (pointybeard/helpers-functions-paths), PHP Helpers: Debug Functions (pointybeard/helpers-functions-debug), and PHP Helpers: String Functions (pointybeard/helpers-functions-strings). They are installed automatically via composer.

To include all the PHP Helpers packages on your project, use composer require pointybeard/helpers or add "pointybeard/helpers": "~1.1" to your composer file.

Usage

Here is an example of how to use the ReadableTraceException base class:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);
include __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';
use pointybeard\Helpers\Exceptions\ReadableTrace\ReadableTraceException;

class foo
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        // Go a little deeper so there is more to show in the backtrace
        $this->someMethod();
    }

    private function someMethod()
    {
        // Do some work. Trigger an error.
        throw new ReadableTraceException('Oh oh, something went wrong.');
    }
}

try {
    // Do some work here
    $f = new Foo();
} catch (ReadableTraceException $ex) {
    // Template for displaying the exception to the screen
    $message = <<<OUTPUT
[%s]
An error occurred around line %d of %s. The following was returned:

%s

Backtrace
==========
%s

OUTPUT;

    printf(
        $message,
        (new \ReflectionClass($ex))->getName(),
        $ex->getLine(),
        $ex->getFile(),
        $ex->getMessage(),
        $ex->getReadableTrace()
    );
    // [pointybeard\Helpers\Exceptions\ReadableTrace\ReadableTraceException]
    // An error occurred around line 18 of /path/to/test.php. The following was returned:
    //
    // Oh oh, something went wrong.
    //
    // Backtrace
    // ==========
    // [test.php:12] foo->someMethod();
    // [test.php:24] foo->__construct();
}

Placeholders

The format of each trace line can be modified by setting the format argument when calling ReadableTraceException::getReadableTrace(). The default format is [{{PATH}}/{{FILENAME}}:{{LINE}}] {{CLASS}}{{TYPE}}{{FUNCTION}}(); which looks something like [../path/to/test.php:24] foo->__construct();.

Placeholders available are provided by PHP Helpers: Debug Functions.
