Yii Error Handler with Whoops
=============================

[](#yii-error-handler-with-whoops)

Integrates the Whoops library into Yii 1.1.

This error handler replaces the built-in exception views with Whoops. Your error action (or Yii's built-in error views, if errorAction is not set) is used if your application is not in debug mode (i.e. `YII_DEBUG` is false), or the exception is a `CHttpException`.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

1. Install it:

    - Using [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/) (it will automatically install Whoops main libraries as well):

    ```
    composer require igorsantos07/yii-whoops:1
    composer install
    ```

    - Or [downloading](https://github.com/nkovacs/yii-whoops/archive/master.zip) and unpacking it in your `extensions` folder.
2. If you're using Composer, I strongly recomend you create a `vendor` alias if you haven't yet. Add this to the beginning of your `config/main.php`:

    ```
    Yii::setPathOfAlias('vendor', __DIR__.'/../../vendor');
    ```
3. Replace your `errorHandler` entry at `config/main.php` with the error handler class. Example:

    ```
    'errorHandler' => ['class' => 'vendor.nkovacs.yii-whoops.WhoopsErrorHandler']
    ```

    If you're using Composer's autoloader, you can simply use `'WhoopsErrorHandler'`. You must require 'vendor/autoload.php' in your entry scripts (index.php, yiic.php etc.) for this to work.
4. If you're using some custom LogRoute that binds to the application's end, you can disable it using the component's `disabledLogRoutes` property. Just set it to an array containing all the classnames (not aliases!) of each route you want disabled whenever Whoops is launched. By default it disables the famous [Yii Debug Toolbar](http://github.com/malyshev/yii-debug-toolbar); if you want to keep it enabled, override the `defaultDisabledLogRoutes` property.

    ```
    'errorHandler' => [
        'class'             => 'vendor.nkovacs.yii-whoops.WhoopsErrorHandler',
        'disabledLogRoutes' => 'MyCustomRouteClass'
    ]
    ```
