README

Quo is a cross-platform variable dumper designed to make debugging easier. It receives data from your application and displays it in a clean desktop interface, allowing you to inspect complex values in real-time without cluttering your terminal or browser console.

Note: This package requires the Quo desktop client to be running to display the debug data.

Noteworthy features

• Multiple arguments: Inspect multiple variables or expressions in a single call.
• Rich Metadata: Capture stack traces, system metrics, memory addresses, and more.

Requirements

• PHP: >= 7.1

Installation

Add quo-php to your project using composer:

composer require protoqol/quo-php --dev

Usage

Use the quo function and pass variables to inspect:

<?php

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

$user_id = 42;
$user = [
    'id' => 1,
    'username' => 'jdoe'
];

// Dump a single variable
quo($user_id);

// Dump multiple variables at once
quo($user_id, $user);

// Some quick maths
quo(42 * 42);

Configuration

You can customise the Quo server address in your composer.json or environment variables.

Via composer.json

Add an extra block to your composer.json:

{
  "extra": {
    "quo-php": {
      "host": "127.0.0.1",
      "port": 7312
    }
  }
}

The correct port can be found in the bottom left in the Quo client. Do note that it is not to change host.
