``dump``
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.5
|
|
The dump function was added in Twig 1.5.
|
|
|
|
The ``dump`` function dumps information about a template variable. This is
|
|
mostly useful to debug a template that does not behave as expected by
|
|
introspecting its variables:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: jinja
|
|
|
|
{{ dump(user) }}
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The ``debug`` function is not available by default. You must load it explicitly::
|
|
|
|
$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader, $config);
|
|
$twig->addExtension(new Twig_Extension_Debug());
|
|
|
|
Even when loaded explicitly, it won't do anything if the ``debug`` option
|
|
is not enabled.
|
|
|
|
In an HTML context, wrap the output with a ``pre`` tag to make it easier to
|
|
read:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: jinja
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
{{ dump(user) }}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
.. tip::
|
|
|
|
Using a ``pre`` tag is not needed when `XDebug`_ is enabled and
|
|
``html_errors`` is ``on``; as a bonus, the output is also nicer with
|
|
XDebug enabled.
|
|
|
|
You can debug several variables by passing them as additional arguments:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: jinja
|
|
|
|
{{ dump(user, categories) }}
|
|
|
|
If you don't pass any value, all variables from the current context are
|
|
dumped:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: jinja
|
|
|
|
{{ dump() }}
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Internally, Twig uses the PHP `var_dump`_ function.
