Thunder - a simple bug hunt helper
==================================

[](#thunder---a-simple-bug-hunt-helper)

Thunder is a simple, light weight, debug helper for the PHP framework [Anax](https://github.com/mosbth/Anax-MVC). By setting a marker in a class or a function - a frame will be generated that can be viewed by adding the View to you page.

**The marker will provide information about**

- Text (your own message)
- Selected variable (optional)
- Name of current Class
- Name of current Function
- Filepath
- Time
- Time passed since last mark

See below for Usage and more info.

Use of external libraries
-------------------------

[](#use-of-external-libraries)

Thunder uses [Bootstrap](http://getbootstrap.com "Bootstrap") and [Fontawesome](http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/ "Fontawesome"). These are included in the view template using the CDN support from [maxCDN](www.maxcdn.com). So make sure that you are online when using Thunder.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can either clone it from github or use Composer to install with [Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/anhu/thunder "Thunder @ Packagist"). For installation with Composer - require the package in your composer.json using:

```
"anhu/thunder": "dev-master"

```

**add to project**

In Anax the easiest way to include Thunder is to add it do $di in the froncontroller.

```
$di->setShared('thunder', function() {
$thunder = new \Anhu\Thunder\CThunder();
return $thunder;
});

```

**output result to a view**

A template view are included in the package (thunder.tpl.php). In Anax framework just simply move it to your view folder and add in frontcontroller.

```
$app->router->add('thunder', function() use ($app) {
$app->theme->setVariable('title', "Thunder test");
$app->views->add('packTest/thunder', [
'content' => $app->thunder->getMarkers(), ]);
});

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

When thunder is included you can put a mark anywhere in your code. When the mark runs - information is saved to the session and will be available for output in a view. There are several different ways you can set a mark.

Examples below shows how mark is set after thunder are included in $di - in the Anax framework. If included in another way make sure to adjust path to setMarker.

**the marker**

The mark is set by calling the setMarker function and passing a message and an optional parameter.

`$this->di->thunder->setMarker("This is my own message", $Optional);`

Its possible to pass values in the first parameter aswell and use Html.

`$this->di->thunder->setMarker("Value of $x -> Value of $z", $testVar);`

knock your self out ...
