NAME

Dancer2::Plugin::DebugDump - Modifies debug behavior to create multi-line output that's easier for mere mortals to parse.

SYNOPSIS

By default, Dancer2's debug keyword outputs data structures to a single line. This plugin runs variables through Data::Dumper to produce output that is easier to read.

use Dancer2;
use Dancer2::Plugin::DebugDump;

my $data_stucture = [ { 'key1' => 'value', 'key2' => 'value' }, { 'key1' => 'value' , 'key2' => 'value' } ];
ddump($data_structure);

# Sample output to your log or console
DEBUG DUMP:
$VAR1 = [
          {
            'key1' => 'value',
            'key2' => 'value'
          },
          {
            'key1' => 'value',
            'key2' => 'value',
          },
        ];

# Accepts multiple arguments, each argument should be a scalar or a reference
ddump($data_structure, $scalar_var, \@array_var, \%hash_var, ... );
