It lets you quickly see configuration data, log messages, SQL queries, and timing data for your application. ⚠️ DebugKit is only intended for use in single-user local development environments. You should avoid using DebugKit in shared development environments, staging environments, or any environment where you need to keep configuration data and environment variables hidden. ⚠️ Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - SQLite (pdo\_sqlite) or another database driver that CakePHP can talk to. By default DebugKit will use SQLite, if you need to use a different database see the Database Configuration section in the documentation linked below. For details and older versions see [version map](https://github.com/cakephp/debug_kit/wiki#version-map). Installation ------------ [](#installation) - Install the plugin with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) from your CakePHP Project's ROOT directory (where the **composer.json** file is located) ``` php composer.phar require --dev cakephp/debug_kit:"^5.0" ``` - [Load the plugin](https://book.cakephp.org/5/en/plugins.html#loading-a-plugin) ``` bin/cake plugin load DebugKit --only-debug ``` Is DebugKit not working? ------------------------ [](#is-debugkit-not-working) If you don't see a CakePHP icon on the bottom right of your page DebugKit is not be working correctly. Some common problems are: 1. Your PHP environment doesn't have SQLite installed. Check your application logs to confirm if this happening. You can either configure DebugKit to use a different database, or install the PDO SQLite 3 extension. 2. Your hostname needs to be added to the `DebugKit.safeTld`. If your local domain isn't a known development environment name, DebugKit will disable itself to protect a potentially non-development environment. 3. If you are using the [Authorization Plugin](https://github.com/cakephp/authorization)you need to set `DebugKit.ignoreAuthorization` to `true` in your config. Reporting Issues ---------------- [](#reporting-issues) If you have a problem with DebugKit please open an issue on [GitHub](https://github.com/cakephp/debug_kit/issues). Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) If you'd like to contribute to DebugKit, check out the [roadmap](https://github.com/cakephp/debug_kit/wiki/roadmap) for any planned features. You can [fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo)the project, add features, and send [pull requests](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests) or open [issues](https://github.com/cakephp/debug_kit/issues). Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) Documentation for DebugKit can be found in the [CakePHP documentation](https://book.cakephp.org/debugkit/5/en/index.html). Panels ------ [](#panels) Panels by other plugins: - `L10n` by [Setup plugin](https://github.com/dereuromark/cakephp-setup) to show current localization for Date, DateTime, Time objects/values. - `Twig` by [Twig plugin](https://github.com/cakephp/twig-view/) to list all templates. ### Health Score 77 — ExcellentBetter than 100% of packages Maintenance80 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity72 Solid adoption and visibility Community54 Growing community involvement Maturity91 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 60.1% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
