I've seen barryvdh's debugbar, but it seems to only work when you're serving pages. Every single response from my site is application/json
.
Is there some hidden option I'm missing in barryvdh's bar or is there another option for Profiling my L4 app?
I'm not asking for ranking or opinions, just a link to any profiler that can just dump results to an Array or log file.
So, I was frustrated with the solution I described earlier and went ahead and created a fork of laravel-debugbar that did exactly what I was looking for:
https://github.com/Dukeman330/laravel-debugbar
Basically I bolted on a "debugbar" route, controller, and view that opens a full-screen version of the debugbar, making it easy to walk through the debug files output by ajax queries. If you want to give this a shot, update your composer.json as follows:
"repositories": [{
"type": "vcs",
"url": "https://github.com/Dukeman330/laravel-debugbar.git"
}],
"require": {
"barryvdh/laravel-debugbar": "dev-master"
},
Then, make your ajax calls as you normally would and to see the output, navigate to [your-site]/debugbar
in a browser.
Previous Answer:
This isn't exactly an ideal solution, but I've been working around the same issue by setting up a little 'profiler' page that renders my JSON output with the profiler bar. I created a profiler.blade.php
with the following:
<html>
<body>
<pre>{{json_encode($data, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT)}}</pre>
</body>
</html>
Then, any time I want to profile a function I'm building, rather than return $output;
I run something like:
return \View::make('profiler', ['data' => $output]);
Again, not ideal since the thing calling your rest API won't know how to handle this output, but it works pretty well if you're developing the API in a browser.
You can Use
print_r($response);
instead of
return response()->json($response); //comment it
and open it in a browser (for get requests);
It's important you don't return anything
