Description

Little helper plugin for development and for use in local installs ONLY, to make debugging a little easier, mainly bits pinched from Laravel World, also with support for Spatie Ray desktop companion. combine it with WPS a WordPress helper for Whoops for a much better development experience

Multiple functions just to make debugging easier:

[dd()] - Use Laravel's dd() (die dump) function in your Wordpress projects. Perfect for debuging custom queries! Laravel's dd() function is built on top of the Symfony VarDumper component Please note in order for this plugin to work correctly Wordpress Emojis will be disabled

[dc()] - Print out response to the Browser Console rather then directly to the screen

[backtrace()] - Print out the current backtrace/stacktrace without requiring an exception error to be thrown.

<?php
return array(
		/*
		 *  The host used to communicate with the Ray app.
		 */
		'host' => 'localhost',

		/*
		 *  The port number used to communicate with the Ray app.
		 */
		'port' => 23517,
);
