VarDumper Component with Context
================================

[](#vardumper-component-with-context)

Using this will show the file and line number which called the dump function. Very handy if you've forgotten where you put that pesky call, especially deep inside the `vendor` directory.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require symfony/var-dumper --dev && composer require morrislaptop/var-dumper-with-context --dev

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

That's it! Simply call `dump()` as you normally would and the file and line number will appear.

Laravel Note
------------

[](#laravel-note)

Laravel 5.7 ships with `beyondcode/laravel-dump-server` which will disable this extension. To enable this extension again, simply add the below to your application's `composer.json` and run `php artisan package:discover` again.

```
    "extra": {
        "laravel": {
            "dont-discover": [
                "beyondcode/laravel-dump-server"
            ]
        }
    },

```
