debug-pooper-symfony
====================

[](#debug-pooper-symfony)

Tired of using symfony's dump(); method? Use 💩(); instead!

More useful features
--------------------

[](#more-useful-features)

### Dumping prepared statements

[](#dumping-prepared-statements)

Dumping prepared statements into a readable, and usually executable SQL strings can be useful.

#### Example 1:

[](#example-1)

```
dumpQuery(
    'SELECT 1 FROM x WHERE y = ?',
    [
        1234
    ],
    [
        \Doctrine\DBAL\ParameterType::INTEGER
    ]
);
```

Result:

`SELECT 1 FROM x WHERE y = 1234`

#### Example 2:

[](#example-2)

```
dumpQuery(
    'SELECT 1 FROM x WHERE y = :some_named_value',
    [
        'some_named_value' => 1234
    ],
    [
        \Doctrine\DBAL\ParameterType::INTEGER
    ]
);
```

Result:

`SELECT 1 FROM x WHERE y = 1234`

### Dumping request information

[](#dumping-request-information)

```
dumpRequest();
```

Result:

`To be determined..`

### Dumping simple XML element objects

[](#dumping-simple-xml-element-objects)

Converting and dumping SimpleXmlObjects into a readable string.

#### Example 1:

[](#example-1-1)

```
dumpSimpleXmlElement(
    simplexml_load_string('someValue')
);
```

Result:

```
[
    Element {
        Name: 'root'
        String Content: ''
        Content in Default Namespace
            Children: 1 - 1 'someElement'
            Attributes: 0
    }
]

```

### Dumping simple XML element object trees

[](#dumping-simple-xml-element-object-trees)

Converting and dumping SimpleXmlObjects into a readable tree string.

#### Example 1:

[](#example-1-2)

```
dumpSimpleXmlElementTree(
    simplexml_load_string('someValue')
);
```

Result:

```
   [0] //
   	->someElement[0]
   		(string) 'someValue' (9 chars)

```

Utilities
---------

[](#utilities)

### Timing a block of code

[](#timing-a-block-of-code)

```
$timer = debugTimer();
sleep(1);
$timeInMs = $timer();
```

Code templates
--------------

[](#code-templates)

### PhpStorm Live templates

[](#phpstorm-live-templates)

```
if($this->container->getParameter('kernel.environment') === 'dev') {
    💩($END$);
    die(__FILE__ . ':' . __LINE__);
}
```

```
if($this->container->getParameter('kernel.environment') === 'dev') {
    dumpQuery($END$);
    die(__FILE__ . ':' . __LINE__);
}
```

```
if($this->container->getParameter('kernel.environment') === 'dev') {
    dumpRequest();
    die(__FILE__ . ':' . __LINE__);
}
```

```
if($this->container->getParameter('kernel.environment') === 'dev') {
    $timer = debugTimer();
    // Do some work
    💩($END$);
    $taskTookMs = $timer();
    echo 'Completed task in ' . $taskTookMs . 'ms!' . PHP_EOL;
    die(__FILE__ . ':' . __LINE__);
}
```

```
if($this->container->getParameter('kernel.environment') === 'dev') {
    dumpSimpleXmlElement($END$);
    die(__FILE__ . ':' . __LINE__);
}
```

```
if($this->container->getParameter('kernel.environment') === 'dev') {
