Laravel 5.7 – New Feature Dump Server

In this article, we will discuss the “Laravel 5.7 New Feature Dump Server”. I’m going to describe you the use of Dump Server in Laravel Project. As you know, Laravel latest version 5.7 comes with some of the new features such as Email Verifications, Dump Server, and many more. We will discuss all those features in our future articles.

In Laravel 5.7, you will see a new artisan command dump-server.

Now, the question is “What is the use of dump-server?”

The dump-server command is used to see the details dump information on the terminal. And the web page is not affecting with the dump information.

In other words, it’s more useful for developers, they can use the dump-server command to fetch the dump information with disturbing the users.

Implementing Dump Server

Use the following to and add it to your route/web.php file.

Route::get('/', function () {
    $info = [
        'name' => 'Pankaj Sood',
        'blog' => 'https://codebriefly.com'
    ];
    dump($info);
    return view('index');
});

After adding this following code, you just need to browse the page and you will see the result as like the following screenshot. It’s the most common way still we used in Laravel 5.6.

Dump Server Command

Now, time to execute the following artisan command.

php artisan dump-server

After execution, the above command our local var dump server is ready for use. It can track all the dump information without affecting the user.

Now, when we browse the page where we call the dump function. All the dump information moved to out Laravel Var Dump Server in the terminal. The user will not see any dump information. This feature is more useful when we need to debug any live Laravel application. Where we don’t afford to close or down our application.

You can see the following result of working dump-server.
