Check if the Symfony debug mode is activated
Published on 2019-07-22 • Modified on 2019-07-22
Sometimes it's useful to know if the debug mode is activated. (with the famous debug bar) For example for a batch process, if it is on, perhaps you only want to process some rows instead of processing the whole table. To get the flag you need to get the kernel instance and call the isDebug
function.
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App\Controller\Snippet;
use App\Repository\ArticleRepository;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\KernelInterface;
/**
* I am using a PHP trait to isolate each snippet in a file.
* This code should be called from a Symfony controller extending AbstractController (as of Symfony 4.2)
* or Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller (Symfony <= 4.1).
* Services are injected in the main controller constructor.
*
* @property ArticleRepository $articleRepo
* @property KernelInterface $kernel
*/
trait Snippet33Trait
{
public function snippet33(): void
{
echo $this->kernel->isDebug() ? 'Debug is ✅' : 'Debug is ❌';
$maxToProcess = $this->kernel->isDebug() ? 2 : null; // null in this context means to maximum
$snippets = $this->articleRepo->findSnippetsForLang('en', null, $maxToProcess);
echo PHP_EOL.\sprintf('%d snippets to process! 🏭', \count($snippets));
// That's it! 😁
}
}
