I hope installing spatie/global-ray (and Ray itself) will be a more pleasant experience.

I'm proud to announce the initial release of the spatie/x-ray package for Ray. The x-ray package provides a command-line utility that finds and displays all calls to ray(), rd(), and other functions from the spatie/ray family of packages. Currently, it only supports PHP projects.

Seems to me you just may have stumbled on a not-ideal PHP gig. The entire Laravel ecosystem is pretty awesome, there are a lot better tools for debugging than xdebug (https://myray.app/), and honestly, the amount of horrific spaghetti JS I've had to navigate is in multiple times worse, and in bigger amounts than any PHP related spaghetti I've had to deal with. But I do agree that for a newcomer it's hard to find good PHP products and tools since the information is so saturated on the internet, the only way you really find good quality things is by following the top guys on Twitter or so.

I am the same, it's the most easy. Very interesting is that in the laravel php world currently an interesting product is gaining momentum: Ray (https://myray.app/)

So basically it's dump with a lot of neat extras and instead of looking at the console of the script, or the website you are printing on you push this to a little desktop application, from every of your languages you are using. Something like log collection for everything on your desktop.

Most of the time I simply use icecream (a much better version of print()), and sometimes, I use pudb (a visual debugger) for tougher/trickier bugs.

We also have ice cream

I found icecream in a post on this subreddit and still use it as an alternative to print for debugging.

How can we integrate with current logging libraries such as logging, logges, loguru? And how would you compare your library with ic

It's pip install icecream An easy mistake to make.

You jest, but there actually is a library called icecream and it's way better than print or pprint

I read through the code when I installed it and it is beautifully designed. Although sure, there could be some cracked eggs in there that I didn't notice.
