<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id2">Replace var_dump</a><a class="headerlink" href="#replace-var-dump" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>While using XDebug and a good IDE can be indispensable to debug your application, sometimes a quick <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">var_dump()</span></code> is
all you need. CodeIgniter makes that even better by bundling in the excellent <a class="reference external" href="https://kint-php.github.io/kint/">Kint</a>
debugging tool for PHP. This goes way beyond your usual tool, providing many alternate pieces of data, like formatting
timestamps into recognizable dates, showing you hexcodes as colors, display array data like a table for easy reading,
and much, much more.</p>
<section id="enabling-kint">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id3">Enabling Kint</a><a class="headerlink" href="#enabling-kint" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>By default, Kint is enabled in <strong>development</strong> and <strong>testing</strong> <a class="reference internal" href="../general/environments.html"><span class="doc">environments</span></a> only.
It will be enabled whenever the constant <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CI_DEBUG</span></code> is defined and its value is truthy.
This is defined in the boot files (e.g. <strong>app/Config/Boot/development.php</strong>).</p>

<h4>d()<a class="headerlink" href="#d" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h4>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">d()</span></code> method dumps all of the data it knows about the contents passed as the only parameter to the screen, and
allows the script to continue executing:</p>
<div class="highlight-html+php notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">&lt;?</span><span class="nx">php</span>
<span class="nx">d</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$_SERVER</span><span class="p">);</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
</section>
<section id="dd">
<h4>dd()<a class="headerlink" href="#dd" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h4>
<p>This method is identical to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">d()</span></code>, except that it also <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">die()</span></code> and no further code is executed this request.</p>
</section>
<section id="trace">
<h4>trace()<a class="headerlink" href="#trace" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h4>
<p>This provides a backtrace to the current execution point, with Kints own unique spin:</p>
<div class="highlight-html+php notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">&lt;?</span><span class="nx">php</span>
<span class="nx">trace</span><span class="p">();</span>

<h4>Choosing What to Show<a class="headerlink" href="#choosing-what-to-show" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h4>
<p>CodeIgniter ships with several Collectors that, as the name implies, collect data to display on the toolbar. You
can easily make your own to customize the toolbar. To determine which collectors are shown, again head over to
the <strong>app/Config/Toolbar.php</strong> configuration file:</p>

<p>Comment out any collectors that you do not want to show. Add custom Collectors here by providing the fully-qualified
class name. The exact collectors that appear here will affect which tabs are shown, as well as what information is
shown on the Timeline.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>Some tabs, like Database and Logs, will only display when they have content to show. Otherwise, they
are removed to help out on smaller displays.</p>
</div>
<p>The Collectors that ship with CodeIgniter are:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><strong>Timers</strong> collects all of the benchmark data, both by the system and by your application.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Database</strong> Displays a list of queries that all database connections have performed, and their execution time.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Logs</strong> Any information that was logged will be displayed here. In long-running systems, or systems with many items being logged, this can cause memory issues and should be disabled.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Views</strong> Displays render time for views on the timeline, and shows any data passed to the views on a separate tab.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Cache</strong> Will display information about cache hits and misses, and execution times.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Files</strong> displays a list of all files that have been loaded during this request.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Routes</strong> displays information about the current route and all routes defined in the system.</p></li>

<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id8">Creating Custom Collectors</a><a class="headerlink" href="#creating-custom-collectors" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>Creating custom collectors is a straightforward task. You create a new class, fully-namespaced so that the autoloader
can locate it, that extends <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CodeIgniter\Debug\Toolbar\Collectors\BaseCollector</span></code>. This provides a number of methods
that you can override, and has four required class properties that you must correctly set depending on how you want
the Collector to work</p>

</div>
<p><strong>$hasTimeline</strong> should be set to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">true</span></code> for any Collector that wants to display information in the toolbars
timeline. If this is true, you will need to implement the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">formatTimelineData()</span></code> method to format and return the
data for display.</p>
<p><strong>$hasTabContent</strong> should be <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">true</span></code> if the Collector wants to display its own tab with custom content. If this
is true, you will need to provide a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">$title</span></code>, implement the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">display()</span></code> method to render out tabs contents,
and might need to implement the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">getTitleDetails()</span></code> method if you want to display additional information just
to the right of the tab contents title.</p>
<p><strong>$hasVarData</strong> should be <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">true</span></code> if this Collector wants to add additional data to the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Vars</span></code> tab. If this
is true, you will need to implement the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">getVarData()</span></code> method.</p>
<p><strong>$title</strong> is displayed on open tabs.</p>
<section id="displaying-a-toolbar-tab">
<h4>Displaying a Toolbar Tab<a class="headerlink" href="#displaying-a-toolbar-tab" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h4>
<p>To display a toolbar tab you must:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><p>Fill in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">$title</span></code> with the text displayed as both the toolbar title and the tab header.</p></li>
<li><p>Set <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">$hasTabContent</span></code> to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">true</span></code>.</p></li>
<li><p>Implement the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">display()</span></code> method.</p></li>
<li><p>Optionally, implement the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">getTitleDetails()</span></code> method.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">display()</span></code> creates the HTML that is displayed within the tab itself. It does not need to worry about
the title of the tab, as that is automatically handled by the toolbar. It should return a string of HTML.</p>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">getTitleDetails()</span></code> method should return a string that is displayed just to the right of the tabs title.
it can be used to provide additional overview information. For example, the Database tab displays the total
number of queries across all connections, while the Files tab displays the total number of files.</p>
