內容簡介

Variable Inspector是一個WordPress外掛,可讓您在wp-admin的中央儀表板上以視覺上清晰的方式輕鬆檢查PHP $變數。它旨在成為一個易於使用且有用的調試工具。它提供了一個單行代碼來檢查您的變數(請參閱下面的“如何使用”)。對站點訪問者沒有顯示任何內容,也沒有輸出在前端,$ 變數內容在 wp-admin 的檢查器儀表板上使用var_dump(), var_export()和print_r()進行了良好格式化的審查。對於一些不太適合使用Xdebug或類似Ray的情況,例如通過像Code Snippets、WPCodeBox、Scripts Organizer或Advanced Scripts等工具在非本地環境下進行編碼時,它可以節省大量時間。此外,因為它是一個常規的WordPress插件,您只需安裝、啟用並使用,而無需進行複雜的配置。

如何使用:
只需在您要檢查的$variable_name之後的代碼中放置以下行:
do_action('inspect', ['variable_name', $variable_name]);

如果您想記錄PHP文件的來源和行號,可以按以下方式附加PHP魔術常量__FILE__和__LINE__。
do_action('inspect', ['variable_name', $variable_name, __FILE__, __LINE__]);

原文外掛簡介

Variable Inspector allows you to easily inspect your PHP $variables in a visually clean manner at a central dashboard in wp-admin. It aims to be an easy and useful enough dev and debug tool.
It provides a single-line code to inspect your variable (see “How to Use” below). Nothing is shown to site visitors nor being output on the frontend, and the $variable content is nicely formatted for review using var_dump(), var_export() and print_r() on the inspector dashboard in wp-admin.
It’s a real time-saver for scenarios where Xdebug or even something like Ray is not ideal or simply an overkill. For example, when coding on a non-local environment via tools like Code Snippets, WPCodeBox, Scripts Organizer or Advanced Scripts. Additionally, because it is a regular WordPress plugin, you simply install, activate and use without the need for complicated configuration.
What Users Say
“Huge time-saver when working with PHP variables.” ~Jeff Starr
“Works great! Love this thing.” ~Josh
“Every developer need it. You can debug easily every variable.” ~Pexle Chris
“All I need. Enough to test the function of snippets. Works flawless.” ~@tesig
“It does what it does very well, and doesn’t try to do everything.” ~@swb1
How to Use
Simply place the following line anywhere in your code after the $variable_name you’d like to inspect:
do_action( 'inspect', [ 'variable_name', $variable_name ] );

If you’d like to record the originating PHP file and line number, append the PHP magic constants __FILE__ and __LINE__ as follows.
do_action( 'inspect', [ 'variable_name', $variable_name, __FILE__, __LINE__ ] );

This would help you locate and clean up the inspector lines once you’re done debugging.

PRO Version
If you need something more versatile for larger, more complex projects, these PRO features might come in handy:

vi( $variable ) inspector to replace the do_action() above and automatically includes the file path and line number. Or, use vis( $variable_name, ‘variable_name’ ) when inspecting in/via code snippets plugins (Code Snippets, WPCodeBox, Scripts Organizer, etc.) or custom code module of page builders (Bricks, Oxygen Builder, etc.)
dump_print_r and dump_print_tree viewers: both viewers combines var_dump and print_r, with the later allowing for collapsing and expanding data nodes, which is especially useful for inspecting long and complex arrays and objects.
kint viewer: an advanced viewer with table view for multi-dimensional arrays, node access path info, capability to search inside variables, pop-up window viewing and advanced info for your complex objects, e.g. available methods and static class properties.
Categorize and filter results by color. This, for example, allows you to categorize $variables according to which stage they’re in inside your code.
Add counter or notes to inspection results. Another way to tag $variables and provide context for the inspection results.
Search filter: easily find certain $variables by name and type.
View up to 250 results. The free version is limited to 25 results.
Individual and bulk deletion of results. Easily clean up your inspection dashboard from obsolete results you no longer need to reference. You can also select certain variables in bulk.
