symfony/debug-bundle v7.0.0

The Symfony Debug Bundle provides an integrated debugging solution within the Symfony framework. It leverages the capabilities of the Symfony VarDumper component and the ServerLogCommand from MonologBridge, aiming to facilitate debugging tasks and make error tracking smoother for developers. It's effectively a tool for simplifying and enhancing your problem-solving process when you're building applications using the Symfony framework.

To utilize the Symfony Debug Bundle, you need to install it in your Symfony project first. While the specific command to do this depends on the version of the package and your composer setup, a general way to add this bundle to your Symfony project would be by using the following composer command:

composer require symfony/debug-bundle

After the installation, the DebugBundle is typically activated in the development and test environments. This configuration is commonly set through the bundles.php file in your project:

// config/bundles.php

return [
    // Other bundles...
    Symfony\Bundle\DebugBundle\DebugBundle::class => ['dev' => true, 'test' => true],
];

You can then utilize the functionalities provided by this bundle in your Symfony application. For instance, the VarDumper component allows you to dump variables to the console or an HTML output:

use Symfony\Component\VarDumper\VarDumper;
    
$varToDebug = 'example';
VarDumper::dump($varToDebug);

For more in-depth information on the Symfony Debug Bundle, its use cases, advanced features, best practices, and more, refer to the Symfony documentation and related resources. While the DebugBundle itself doesn't have its own specific documentation, it's tightly interlinked with the Symfony framework and its primary component, the VarDumper. Hence, most of the relevant information can be found directly within the Symfony documentation, the main Symfony GitHub repository, and specifically in the context of contributing to the Symfony project. Issues with the DebugBundle can be reported in the Symfony's GitHub issues section, and any proposed code improvements can be submitted as pull requests.
