Copy tools
Hi @rodber
Just found this and wanted to say thank you, it looks like an awesome tool.
Have you considered adding copy tools, eg: copy the whole dumped structure, or the path to a specific item in an object?
Something like was what I had in mind:
- Copy object to clipboard (copies full dump to clipboard)
- Copy path / Copy value (shows next to element line)
Or is this out of scope since the tool is JS-free?
Thanks and great work!
Hello @eduwass, thanks for your message.
VarDump goal is to provide a common/predictable output for all dump representations (html, cli, plain). The zero JS comes from the fact that it folds data structures using only HTML/CSS, contrary to Symfony's which requires JS. This is just because VarDump is newer, so I took advantage of modern HTML. More interactivity is always welcome.
I already have another project where I use VarDump's output and on top of that provide more interactivity: https://github.com/xrdebug/xrdebug (open with editor, pause, manage messages, use filters, etc)
The xrDebug software is basically a dedicated GUI for VarDump where it is way easier to add interaction. You can find the relevant packages here:
- https://github.com/xrdebug/php
- https://github.com/xrdebug/wordpress
Feel free to describe your ideal use case to determine what we could add here.
