README

A PHP library to create Java-like stacktraces.

Installation through composer package femastudios/jtrace

Usage

// Create a JTrace class
$jtrace = JTrace::new();
// $e is a \Throwable instance
$jtrace->fromThrowable($e); // Returns the stacktrace as a string
$jtrace->printFromThrowable($e); // Prints the stacktrace

Sample output:

LogicException (0): Inner threw
    at C:\Users\username\Desktop\php\jtrace\tests\Code.php:16
    at C:\Users\username\Desktop\php\jtrace\tests\test.php:14->run()
    at C:\Users\username\Desktop\php\jtrace\tests\test.php:18

Caused by:
Exception (101): Inner message

Options

Each JTrace instance can be customized with the following parameters:

• Max items: the maximum number of lines to print for each \Throwable. Defaults to 256.
• Max causes: the maximum number of causes to print. Defaults to 64.
• Include arguments: whether to include arguments of function calls in the stacktrace. Defaults to false.
  • Include complex arguments: whether to include non-trivial arguments in function calls. When false scalar types are written normally, for other types the type is written. When true an attempt to convert classes an arrays to string is made. Defaults to false.
  • Arguments max length: the maximum length for all the arguments for each line. When exceeded arguments are automatically separately shortened according to their size. Defaults to 1024.

Example of customization:

JTrace::new()
    ->includeBaseArgs() // Includes only scalar args
    ->maxItems(null) // Removes the items limit
    ->maxCauses(8); // Limits the number of chained exceptions to 8
