DDUMP
=====

[](#ddump)

This is just an overlay to the Symfonys' var-dumper component to dump variable(s) and stop the script execution right away.

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

[](#installation)

```
$ composer require --dev jiboule/ddump

```

The --dev option is important as you don't wanna use dump in production.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
dump($bar); // the var-dumper function dumps the var, below code will be executed

ddump($myVar); // dumps the var

// nothing below will be executed
```

You can also dump several variables

```
ddump($foo, $bar, $another);
```
