Log PHP output to the Chrome console

Laravel bridge for ChromePhp.

Installation

This package requires the Chrome Logger extension.

Once you've installed the extension, add this package to your project via composer:

$ composer require --dev digital-drifter/laravel-chrome-logger

Laravel 5.5 will automatically register the service provider through auto-discovery.

Previous versions of the framework just add the service provider in config/app.php file:

'providers' => [
    // ...
    DigitalDrifter\LaravelChromeLogger\LaravelChromeLoggerServiceProvider::class,
];

Available Methods

All methods exposed on the ChromePhp class are available. The following comes directly from the class:

/**
 * gets instance of this class
 *
 * @return ChromePhp
 */
public static function getInstance();

/**
 * logs a variable to the console
 *
 * @param mixed $data,... unlimited OPTIONAL number of additional logs [...]
 * @return void
 */
public static function log();

/**
 * logs a warning to the console
 *
 * @param mixed $data,... unlimited OPTIONAL number of additional logs [...]
 * @return void
 */
public static function warn();

/**
 * logs an error to the console
 *
 * @param mixed $data,... unlimited OPTIONAL number of additional logs [...]
 * @return void
 */
public static function error();

/**
 * sends a group log
 *
 * @param string value
 */
public static function group();

/**
 * sends an info log
 *
 * @param mixed $data,... unlimited OPTIONAL number of additional logs [...]
 * @return void
 */
public static function info();

/**
 * sends a collapsed group log
 *
 * @param string value
 */
public static function groupCollapsed();

/**
 * ends a group log
 *
 * @param string value
 */
public static function groupEnd();

/**
 * sends a table log
 *
 * @param string value
 */
public static function table();

/**
 * adds a setting
 *
 * @param string key
 * @param mixed value
 * @return void
 */
public function addSetting($key, $value);

/**
 * add ability to set multiple settings in one call
 *
 * @param array $settings
 * @return void
 */
public function addSettings(array $settings);

/**
 * gets a setting
 *
 * @param string key
 * @return mixed
 */
public function getSetting($key);

Usage

...

/**
 * LaravelChromeLogger $logger
 */
protected $logger;

public function __construct(LaravelChromeLogger $logger)
{
	$this->logger = $logger;
}

Facade

Using the provided facade:

public function log(string $message)
{
	LaravelChromeLogger::log($message);
}

}
