How can i use Kint Debugger in symfony controller

Question

I am trying to use this

https://github.com/barelon/CgKintBundle https://github.com/raveren/kint

for debugging

Now i am able to see debugging in TWIG templates but i am not sure how to use

https://github.com/raveren/kint#installation-and-usage

in symfony php clases.

require '/kint/Kint.class.php';

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

do i need to add this code in controller of symfony

Kint already comes with a autoload section in it's composer.json and the Kint class itself doesn't have a namespace.

composer will take care of the autoloading for you which means the require statement isn't necessary.

You can use this "debugging tool" in any class (controller,entity, ...) like this:

\Kint::dump($someVariable);

It's just a prettyfied version of var_dump().

I suggest you take a look at raulfraile/LadyBugBundle which uses ladybug instead of Kint ... but can highlight symfony/doctrine classes with funky symbols aswell.

If you want real debugging capabilities ... install xdebug.
