Why is my debug data unformatted?

Question

var_dump and print_r are displayed are not formatted when using Laravel 4. How do I format the data to be more readable?

I guess you have already looked in http://doc.laravelbook.com/errors/ ? — mzedeler, Jun 09 '13 at 12:15

Add Kint to your composer.json by running this on the command line:

composer require raveren/kint "dev-master"

And then try it:

dd( new Controller );

You should see this:

Better, huh?

Nothing, just that. Are you having trouble? There's a known tiny issue between it and Laravel 4, but not too difficult to fix: https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/1472. – Antonio Carlos Ribeiro Jun 10 '13 at 02:13
I'm a real noob at composer, I have a small request, could you re-edit your question to include the stable branch of kint, as I refer to your answer from the documentation of kint: http://raveren.github.io/kint/#integration Thanks a lot! – raveren Oct 08 '13 at 16:05
Using dd() in the current version of laravel (4.0.10) has no effect. Probably because dd() is built into laravel now. Using d() applied Kint properly. – Landjea Dec 09 '13 at 14:47
This is a Laravel problem. It should not create a dd() if there's already one around. Unfortunately this was already discussed in a Laravel issue but the most we got from developers was: delete your vendors and composer install again, sometimes it works. – Antonio Carlos Ribeiro Dec 09 '13 at 15:00

Is there a way to disable Kint in Laravel for production environments? – Kyle Ridolfo Feb 08 '14 at 22:24

Use kint

we use should s() instead of print_r()

use should d() instead of var_dump()

ex: sd($arr); like same print_r($arr); die();
