Laravel Tracer

Tracer shows the paths of all the Blade files that are loaded into your templates. This could be very convenient for a number of reasons:

If you're working on a large project with alot of views/partials
New to a project and want to get a quick overview of the structure of pages
If you're completely new to Laravel and want to play around with views/partials/templates etc

Installation

First install this package via Composer:

$ composer require appstract/laravel-tracer --dev

Publish the config file:

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Appstract\Tracer\TracerServiceProvider"

A tracer.php file will be created in your app/config directory.

Basic usage

In app/config/tracer.php, if trace is set to true you see the paths of all the Blade files that are loaded into your templates. To remove the paths simply set trace to false. If your views are located at another directory you can set the correct path here.

Toggle traces

A tracer.js file will be created in your public/js directory. This gets injected at the end of your app <head> section.

Use the keybord shortcut ctrl+z inside your app to toggle the traces.

If you wish to disable Tracer and remove the existing traces, you can simply clear the compiled view files using the php artisan view:clear command.

Testing

$ composer test
