Major News in Tracy in 2019
In the last year, Tracy has introduced a lot of innovations in
improving the user experience. Let's summarize the most important ones.
10 times faster dump
Function dump()
and all its variations, such as
barDump()
etc., prints arrays and objects in a clever way. They
generate HTML code only for those parts that are immediately visible, without
having to open them by click. The HTML code of the collapsed parts then
generates JavaScript at the moment of clicking.
This, on the one hand, will significantly reduce the amount of HTML code, but
above all it will speed up its display, because the browser does not have to
parse the saved code. It might seem that HTML parsing is something so fast that
this optimization won't have much effect, but the opposite is true. Acceleration
is really dramatic, usually 10 times. Watch a video with the web developer
console:
AJAX News
Tracy has been able to display AJAX requests for some time, even without the
need for any additional configuration on the JavaScript side. There is a new
feature in version 2.6, which is the ability to display more than one request.
By default, 3 rows are displayed and the value can be changed by JavaScript in
the variable window.TracyMaxAjaxRows
.
Version 2.7.2 comes with another new feature, which is a visual distinction
of ajax panels. “Ajax” now appears in the upper right corner.
CLI panel
The “BlueScreen” now contains a new CLI panel
if the error
occurred while running a command-line program.
Improved UX
Tracy has received a number of cosmetic enhancements that enhance the user
experience. For example, I would like to mention the ability to sort tables by
any column with one click:
GDPR ready
To avoid logging sensitive information in BlueScreen, you can determine
contents of which keys will not revealed:
Tracy\Debugger::getBlueScreen()->keysToHide[] = 'login';
By default, the contents of these keys are not printed:
password
, passwd
, pass
, pwd
,
creditcard
, credit card
, cc
and
pin
.
PSR-3 adapters
You can use PSR-3 loggers in Tracy, and vice versa. This is done by a pair
of adapters Tracy\Bridges\Psr\PsrToTracyLoggerAdapter
and
TracyToPsrLoggerAdapter
.
One more thing
And finally, one thing that connects Tracy and Latte. Tracy can utilize
source mapping provided by Latte and display not only the line where the error
occurred in the generated PHP code, but also in the template.
