Este plugin **no se ha probado con las últimas 3 versiones mayores de WordPress**.
Puede que ya no tenga soporte ni lo mantenga nadie, o puede que tenga problemas 
de compatibilidad cuando se usa con las versiones más recientes de WordPress.

## Descripción

Debug Toolkit makes debugging your code easier and more enjoyable. It provides you
with interactive and helpful tools:

 * Better PHP error interface from ([Whoops](http://filp.github.io/whoops/))
 * Better variable inspection – no need to use `var_dump`, `print_r`, or X-debug
 * An interactive way to back trace the program’s execution order

### Better PHP Error Interface from Whoops

The built-in PHP error container is basic and not as helpful as it could be. On 
top of that, it’s rather ugly. Wouldn’t you agree?

Whoops gives you a cool interface that is helpful, interactive, and quite nice to
look at. Some features:

 * Provides the error message and links to search Google, DuckDuckGo, and Stack 
   Overflow.
 * Shows the actual code where the error occurred.
 * Provides an interactive call stack. Click each and the actual code appears in
   the viewer panel.
 * Environment and details including GET Data, POST Data, Files, Cookie, Session,
   Server/Request Data, Environment Variables, and Registered Handlers.

See the tools in action in this video

### Better Variable Inspection

Though X-debug is powerful, it can be difficult to set up and run. For that reason,
it’s common to dump or print out the variable to browser. But the built-in display
for the PHP `var_dump` and `print_r` is basic.

This plugin includes both two very popular variable dumper tools:

 * [VarDumper from Symfony](https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/var_dumper.html)
 * [Kint – a modern and powerful PHP debugging helper](https://kint-php.github.io/kint/)

VarDumper provides a simple container that displays where you place it.

On the other hand, Kint provides a more powerful interface that gives you more information
such as printing out the expression that was passed into it, the data type, memory
size, and the value.

To make it even easier, the following utility functions are available for you to
use in your code:

#### Available Functions for Inspecting Variable Values

Let’s explore the functions that are available for you through this plugin. We’ll
use the variable inspectors to dump `global $post`.

Note: You can pass in any variable or function that returns a value.

Dumps the given variable(s):

    ```
    global $post;

    // VarDumper
    vdump( $post );

    // Kint
    dump( $post );
    ```

Dumps the given variable(s) and then exits the program’s execution:

    ```
    global $post;

    // VarDumper
    vdump_and_die( $post );

    // Kint
    dump_and_die( $post );
    ```

In addition, there are alias (shorthand) functions available for you if you prefer
shorter function names:

 * `vd()` is an alias for `vdump()`
 * `vdd()` and `vdd()` are aliases for `vdump_and_die()`
 * `d()` is an alias for `dump()`
 * `dd()` and `ddd()` are aliases for `dump_and_die()`

### Tracing Call Stack

When debugging, there are times when you need to see the order in which functions
were called that lead to a certain point in the program. PHP offers a backtrace 
that traces back the execution order from the point when the function is invoked.

To make backtracing easier, this plugin provides you with a `trace()` function and
combines it with the variable inspect functions.

For example, if you wanted to trace the call stack to the start of the loop in your
theme’s `functions.php` file, you could use this code:

    ```
    add_action( 'loop_start', function() {
        trace();
    } );
    ```

#### Available Trace Functions

Place these functions at the point where you want to trace the call stack.

 * `trace();`
 * `trace_vdump();` – Combines `trace()` and `vdump()`
 * `trace_dump();` – Combines `trace()` and `dump()`
 * `trace_vdump_and_die();` – Combines `trace()` and `vdump_and_die()`
 * `trace_dump_and_die();` – Combines `trace()` and `dump_and_die()`

In addition, there are alias (shorthand) functions available for you if you prefer
shorter function names:

 * `tracevd();` – Combines `trace()` and `vd()`
 * `traced();` – Combines `trace()` and `d()`
 * `tracevdd();` – Combines `trace()` and `vdd()`
 * `tracedd();` – Combines `trace()` and `dd()`
 * `tracevddd();` – Combines `trace()` and `vddd()`
 * `traceddd();` – Combines `trace()` and `ddd()`

### Admin Bar

«DEBUG ACTIVE» indicator displays in the WordPress admin bar to alert you when the
plugin is active.

## Instalación

#### From your WordPress dashboard

 1. Visit ‘Plugins > Add New’
 2. Search for ‘Debug Toolkit’
 3. Activate Debug Toolkit from your Plugins page.

## FAQ

  How do I use this utility?

When you are testing or debugging your code, you can use any of the functions above
in place of var_dump( $var ) and print_r( $var ). No need to wrap it in pre’s either.

  What version of PHP do I need?

PHP 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, and up.

  Can I run this on a live site?

I wouldn’t unless you are testing. This tool is for debug only. Once you push the
site live, deactivate and delete this plugin.

  What should I do when the site goes live?

Deactivate and delete this plugin.

One of my favourite plugin. Helps a lot with development and debugging. Please keep
it update or if we could get a chance to contribute we would love that.

For so long I have been trying to figure out a way to debug my PHP in WordPress 
similar to how the JS console works (being able to drill down into objects and arrays).
I have no idea how much work Tonya put into this, but I am forever indebted! Thank
you so much! I wish i could send you a gift basket or make a donation.

Makes debugging super easy, particularly for people like me—just starting out in
WordPress development. Turn it on, and immediately the errors become apparent.
