Twig extension to dump a variable according to the [NiceDump format specification](https://nicedump.net/).

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 8.0

Install with composer
---------------------

[](#install-with-composer)

```
$ composer require nicedump/nicedump-twig
```

Basic usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

After enabling this extension, the `nice_dump()` function can be used in Twig templates to output a variable in NiceDump format.

The variable is only output if debug mode is enabled in Twig, otherwise `nice_dump()` returns just an empty string. This makes it possible to use the function both in development and production mode.

### Dump a variable

[](#dump-a-variable)

```
{{ nice_dump(foo) }}

```

This may output something like this:

```

```

Notice that the NiceDump in enclosed in an HTML comment.

### Dump a variable with a name

[](#dump-a-variable-with-a-name)

```
{{ nice_dump(foo, 'Foo') }}

```

### Dump a variable with a name and a comment

[](#dump-a-variable-with-a-name-and-a-comment)

```
{{ nice_dump(foo, 'Foo', 'This is my Foo') }}

```

### Enable output in release mode

[](#enable-output-in-release-mode)

**Caution: This may unintentionally reveal secret data on a production server. Use with care!**

Enable `nice_dump()` to output a NiceDump, even when Twig is in non-debug mode:

```
use NiceDumpTwig\NiceDumpTwigExtension;

$extension = new NiceDumpTwigExtension();
$extension->enableInReleaseMode();
```
