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

[](#installation)

You can download the Latest [release version ](https://github.com/Ghostff/Dbug/releases/) as a standalone, alternatively you can use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/)

```
$ composer require ghostff/dbug
```

```
"require": {
    "ghostff/dbug": "^1.0"
}
```

Basic usage:

```
use Dbug\BittrDbug;

/**
 * @param error handle type
 * @param theme name (bittr|default|yola). Themes can be configures in theme.json
 * @param lines of code to cover before and after the error.
 */
new BittrDbug(BittrDbug::PRETTIFY, 'yola', 20);
#This should be implemented before any other script execution except your autoloader(if using one).
```

Error/Exception Display: [![Screenshot](demo.png)](demo.png)

Using callback function:

```
use Dbug\BittrDbug;

new BittrDbug(function (BittrDbug $e) {
    var_dump(
        $e->getMessage();  # returns string;
        $e->getCode();  # returns int;
        $e->getFile();  # returns string;
        $e->getLine();  # returns int;
        $e->getTrace();  # returns array;
        $e->getTraceAsString();  # returns string;
    );
});
#This should be implemented before any other script execution except your autoloader(if using one).
```

You can also log errors instead of outputting them in browser:

```
use Dbug\BittrDbug;

/**
 * @param error handle type
 * @param path to save log files.
 */
new BittrDbug(BittrDbug::FILE_LOG, 'path/to/my/log/');
#This should be implemented before any other script execution except your autoloader(if using one).
```

For file logging, you can set your `path` to a directory outside your webroot or maybe add a `.htaccess` to prevent direct access to your log directory.
