Laravel Route Tracer
====================

[](#laravel-route-tracer)

**Runtime execution tracer for Laravel routes** - Captures actual file dependencies and execution flow for any Laravel route.

Why This Package?
-----------------

[](#why-this-package)

To records the **real** execution path by capturing which files PHP actually loads during a request.

### What You Get

[](#what-you-get)

- **Actual file dependencies** - Not guessing
- **Execution time** - Real performance metrics
- **Categorized files** - Controllers, Models, Policies, etc.
- **Exception tracking** - Traces even when things break
- **Zero config** - Works out of the box

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require tonygeez/laravel-route-tracer --dev
```

The package will auto-register via Laravel's package discovery.

Publish Config (Optional)

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=route-tracer-config
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Method 1: Middleware (Recommended)

[](#method-1-middleware-recommended)

Wrap your routes with the trace middleware:

```
use TonyGeez\LaravelRouteTracer\Middleware\TraceRouteDependencies;

// Enable for next request
TraceRouteDependencies::enable();

Route::middleware(['trace-route'])->group(function () {
    Route::get('/api/users', [UserController::class, 'index']);
    Route::post('/api/users', [UserController::class, 'store']);
});
```

### Method 2: Artisan Commands

[](#method-2-artisan-commands)

```
# Enable tracing for next request
php artisan route:trace-enable

# Enable for specific routes
php artisan route:trace-enable api.users.index api.users.store

# Disable tracing
php artisan route:trace-disable

# View traces
php artisan route:trace-view

# View latest trace only
php artisan route:trace-view --latest

# Filter by route name
php artisan route:trace-view --route=api.users
```

### Method 3: Facade

[](#method-3-facade)

```
use TonyGeez\LaravelRouteTracer\Facades\RouteTracer;

// Enable tracing
RouteTracer::enable();

// Enable for specific routes
RouteTracer::enableForRoutes(['api.users.index', 'api.orders.show']);

// Check if enabled
if (RouteTracer::isEnabled()) {
    // ...
}

// Disable
RouteTracer::disable();
```

```
