README

The ExternalVarDumperBundle allows you to redirect Symfony dumps (VarDumper) to an external web service. Usefull to debug applications like REST APIs, background console commands or other applications that you don't have a direct output or that you can't break with a dump in the middle of the response.

$ composer require omouren/external-var-dumper-bundle

Register the bundle in the application kernel :

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php
// ...
public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = [
        // ...
        new Omouren\ExternalVarDumperBundle\OmourenExternalVarDumperBundle(),
        // ...
    ];
// ...

Add configuration (optional) :

# app/config/config.yml
