README

This package enables the powerful Laravel Debugbar for safe and effective use in production environments. It allows developers to gain valuable insights into application performance, database queries, and request lifecycle without compromising security or negatively impacting the user experience. Utilize this tool for fast debugging and performance analysis directly on your live application.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require malzariey/production-debugbar --dev

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="production-debugbar-config"

This is the contents of the published config file, showing the default query parameter and password used for enabling the Debugbar:

return [
    "password" => env("PRODUCTION_DEBUGBAR_PASSWORD", "MyPassword"),
    "get_parameter" => env("PRODUCTION_DEBUGBAR_GET_PARAMETER", 'pd_debug'),
];

Note:

Make sure to add PRODUCTION_DEBUGBAR_PASSWORD to your .env file if you want to change the password configuration.

Usage

This package provides a middleware that automatically checks if the Laravel Debugbar should be enabled based on a request cookie. You can enable the Debugbar on any route by adding a query parameter with a specific password that matches the one configured in your production-debugbar-config file.

Customizing the Query Parameter

By default, the query parameter used to enable the Debugbar is configurable via the production-debugbar.get_parameter config option. This allows you to choose a custom parameter name instead of using the password directly as the parameter key.

For example, if your config contains:

return [
    "password" => env("PRODUCTION_DEBUGBAR_PASSWORD", "MyPassword"),
    "get_parameter" => env("PRODUCTION_DEBUGBAR_GET_PARAMETER", 'pd_debug'),
];

You can enable the Debugbar by visiting:

https://your-production-app.com/any-route?pd_debug=MyPassword

Replace pd_debug with your configured parameter name, and MyPassword with your configured password.

If you do not set get_parameter, the default parameter name will be used as defined in the package.
