Sliver
======

[](#sliver)

**Tinker with a sliver of your code with an interactive debugger and REPL for SilverStripe, powered by psysh.**

Inspired by Laravel's [artisan tinker](https://github.com/laravel/tinker), and powered by [psysh](http://psysh.org/), *Sliver* allows you to play with your [SilverStripe](https://www.silverstripe.org) code during runtime with the added debugging functionality from psysh.

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

[](#installation)

Install the *Sliver* cli globally by running the following command:

```
$ composer global require littlegiant/sliver
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

- Simply run `sliver` in the root of your SilverStripe project.
- Write your line of PHP code and hit enter.
- That line of code will then be run and the output value of that line will be displayed in console.

For more information, check out [psysh's documentation](http://psysh.org/).
