--- ### **Do you like this library?** **[LEAVE A ★](#js-repo-pjax-container)** [](#----do-you-like-this-library----leave-a-) or run `composer global require symfony/thanks && composer thanks` to say thank you to all libraries you use in your current project, this included! --- Install VarDumper CLI to HTML via Composer ------------------------------------------ [](#install-vardumper-cli-to-html-via-composer) ``` $ composer require serendipity_hq/component-var-dumper-f --dev ``` This library follows the versioning conventions. Usage ----- [](#usage) The library provides two functions: `dumpf()` and `ddf()`. They work exactly like the Symfony's VarDumper built ones `dump()` and `dd()`, with those specifities: 1. Both `dumpf()` and `ddf()` can be used only in scripts that run in the command line; 2. Both requires the first parameter is `null` or an array with some options. The simplest usage is this: ``` $var = [ 'a simple string' => "in an array of 5 elements", 'a float' => 1.0, 'an integer' => 1, 'a boolean' => true, 'an empty array' => [], ]; dumpf(null, $var); ddf(null, $var); ``` The result will be an HTML file with a random name that contains the dump of `$var`. Opening the file you will see [![](docs/01-simple.png)](docs/01-simple.png) For more examples of outputs, consult the Symfony's VarDumper documentation about [Dump Examples and Output](https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/var_dumper.html#dump-examples-and-output). Specifying the dumped file -------------------------- [](#specifying-the-dumped-file) You can specify the file of the dump passing its full path name as first argument: ``` dumpf('~/path/to/your/folder/filename', $var); ddf('~/path/to/your/folder/filename', $var); ``` You can use a name like `filename` or like `filename.html`: the resulting file will always have one `.html` extension (`filename.html`). Passing options --------------- [](#passing-options) Both functions accepts as first argument an array. The passed array can contain any of the options that you can pass to a Symfony's VarDumper Cloner ([reference](https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/var_dumper/advanced.html#cloners)). The only additional option you can pass is the `file`, whit which you can specify the name of the dumped file: ``` dumpf(['file' => 'dump_var', 'maxDepth' => 2], $var); ddf(['file' => 'dump_var.html', 'maxDepth' => 5], $var); ``` In both cases, the file `dump_var.html` will be generated. What happens if the file already exists --------------------------------------- [](#what-happens-if-the-file-already-exists) The new dump will be added to the already existing file. So, if you call `dumpf()` three times in your CLI script, then the resulting file dump will have three dumps in it. If you run again the script, the resulting file dump will now contain six dumps in it: the three from the first run and the three from the second run. To get a fresh dump, simply remove the dumped files. --- ### **Do you like this library?** **[LEAVE A ★](#js-repo-pjax-container)** [](#----do-you-like-this-library----leave-a--1) or run `composer global require symfony/thanks && composer thanks` to say thank you to all libraries you use in your current project, this included! --- ### Health Score 42 — FairBetter than 90% of packages Maintenance60 Regular maintenance activity Popularity15 Limited adoption so far Community12 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity69 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
