Usage

Kint helps you inspect a value while developing a template. On a local entry page, temporarily add {{ d(entry) }} and reload it. Expand the entry in the output and find its title; then replace the dump with {{ entry.title }} to display that value normally.

Debug output can expose content and application details. Keep it on a development installation and remove it before publishing the template. The functions below provide different views of the same data.

d()

This is the simplest usage, and will output an interactive debugger for the variable passed in.

{{ d(entry) }}

{# or #}
{{ d(entry, otherEntry) }}

s()

This works essentially the same way as the built-in Twig dump method, and returns a plain text debugging output.

{{ s(entry) }}

{# or #}
{{ s(entry, otherEntry) }}

microtime()

Basic reporting of memory usage at the time that the command is run, as well as a timestamp. If used multiple times, it will also report the time since it was last called and average duration. Passing true as an argument will reset the counter.

{{ microtime() }}

You can also reset the counter:

{{ microtime(true) }}

trace()

Outputs a PHP backtrace from the point at which the function is called - note, this function uses quite a bit of memory (you should likely set memory_limit 512M, and the output might not be all that helpful, as you are mostly going to be seeing compiled PHP from the Twig templates.

{{ trace() }}
