Kint - Advanced PHP dumper

What am I looking at?

Kint is a dumper in the vein of var_dump(), with keyboard controls, search, access path provision, and automatic data parsing.

In other words, when you dump a JSON string Kint will let you unfold and search the JSON structure and even provide you the code you need to access specific fields.

Installation

composer require kint-php/kint --dev

Without composer

Download the file and simply

require 'kint.phar';

Usage

<?php

Kint::dump($GLOBALS, $_SERVER); // pass any number of parameters
d($GLOBALS, $_SERVER); // or simply use d() as a shorthand

Kint::trace(); // Debug backtrace

s($GLOBALS); // Basic output mode

+d($GLOBALS); // No depth limit

Kint::$enabled_mode = false; // Disable kint
d('Get off my lawn!'); // Debugs no longer have any effect

You can set Kint\Renderer\AbstractRenderer::$js_nonce and $css_nonce to have Kint work with CSP

There's a small demo and full documentation on the GH pages site
