Using this will show the file and line number which called the dump function. Very handy if you've forgotten where you put that pesky call, especially deep inside the vendor directory.
composer require symfony/var-dumper --dev && composer require morrislaptop/var-dumper-with-context --dev
That's it! Simply call dump() as you normally would and the file and line number will appear.
Laravel 5.7 ships with beyondcode/laravel-dump-server which will disable this extension. To enable this extension again, simply add the below to your application's composer.json and run php artisan package:discover again.
"extra": {
"laravel": {
"dont-discover": [
"beyondcode/laravel-dump-server"
]
}
},
