README

This is a wrapper to Beyondcode's Laravel Dump Server. It basiacally improves the main package's HTML output functionality by adding the following features:

1. It will remove the previously printed things when a test runs. If you don't want to do that, make reset_on_each_test false in config/dump-server.php.
2. It registers a route which is /dump-server, and when you display dumpped file on that route, you will get auto-refresh.
3. Dump file is in dark mode. But, because of a reason that I couldn't figure out, the dark mode will be active after 2 tests runs.

Installation

First, you need to install the package.

sail composer require bakgul/laravel-dump-server --dev

Next, you need to publish config file.

sail artisan vendor:publish --provider="Bakgul\LaravelDumpServer\LaravelDumpServerServiceProvider"

Configuration

Add the following part to laravel({ ... }) in vite.config.js

refresh: [
    "vendor/bakgul/laravel-dump-server/resources/views/dump.html",
    "resources/**",
    "routes/**",
],

Modify your TestCase

use Bakgul\LaravelDumpServer\Concerns\HasDumper;

class TestCase extends BaseTestCase
{
    use HasDumper;

    public function setUp(): void
    {
        parent::setUp();

        $this->resetDumper();
    }
}

Usage

Run Vite:

npm run dev

Listen to dump server

sail artisan dump-server --format=html > vendor/bakgul/laravel-dump-server/resources/dump.html

Add dump($varToDump) method anywhere you want to display something.
