Siro provides debug helpers available globally. No `use` statement needed.

Overview#

Siro provides debug helpers available globally. No use statement needed.

`sd()` (Siro Dump)#

Dump variable(s) and stop execution. dd() also available as alias.

php

sd($variable);
sd($request, $user, $query);  // Multiple values
sd($data);

// Or use the Laravel-compatible alias:
dd($variable);

Output:

array:3 [
  "name" => "John"
  "email" => "john@test.com"
  "role" => "admin"
]

`dump()`#

Dump variable and continue execution (does not stop).

php

dump($query->toSql());   // See the SQL being built
dump($user);             // Inspect user data

Useful inside loops or middleware for debugging without breaking the flow.

When to Use#

php

// In Controller — debug request data
public function store(Request $request): Response
{
    dump($request->all());  // See what's coming in (continues)
    sd($request->user());   // See user, then stop
}

// In QueryBuilder — debug SQL
$query = Product::query()->where('price', '>', 100);
dump($query);               // See the query object
$results = $query->get();

// In tests
public function test_example(): void
{
    $response = $this->get('/api/users');
    sd($response->json());  // See full response
}

💡

Pro tip: In production, sd() and dump() are disabled when APP_DEBUG=false. Your app won't crash if you accidentally leave them in code.
