Craft-Var-Dumper plugin for Craft CMS 3.x
=========================================

[](#craft-var-dumper-plugin-for-craft-cms-3x)

Activates the Symfony VarDumper in Twig. The VarDumper component provides mechanisms for extracting the state out of any PHP variables. Built on top, it provides a better dump() function that you can use instead of var\_dump. With a nice Frontend-View.
