jas Debug-Package
=================

[](#jas-debug-package)

Provides a small package of debugging utilites, especially a better var\_dump-alternative

Installation:
-------------

[](#installation)

Add this line to your composer.json "require" section:

### composer.json

[](#composerjson)

```
    "require": {
       ...
       "jas/debug": "*"
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Even without xdebug you now can output a smart display of any PHP-Value.

```
jas\debug\Dumper::dump($var/*, ...*/);
```

You can pass as much arguments to the Dump-Method as you like. By default it outputs an HTML-Version of the PHP-Object. When you pass an int bitmask (see Dumper-Constants) as last parameter, you are able to get a Text-Only version (with or without <pre> around) as output or returned.

On-The-Fly usage
----------------

[](#on-the-fly-usage)

You may use this package on-the-fly via this Gist:

```
eval('?'.'>'.file_get_contents('https://gist.github.com/possi/5792653/raw'));
jas_dump($this, new stdClass(), array('foo' => 'bar'));
```

Planned Features
----------------

[](#planned-features)

- Test special dumper for SugarCRMs SugarBean
- Add the ErrorHandler
- especially with BackTrace-printer
