After installing this plugin, you can use the `ray()` function to quickly dump stuff. Any variable(s) that you pass to `ray()` will be displayed. Here some examples: ``` ray('Hello world'); ray(['a' => 1, 'b' => 2])->color('red'); ray('multiple', 'arguments', 'are', 'welcome'); ray()->showQueries(); ``` There are many other helper functions available on Ray that allow you to display things that can help you debug such as [runtime and memory usage](https://spatie.be/docs/ray/v1/usage/framework-agnostic-php-project#measuring-performance-and-memory-usage), [queries that were executed](https://spatie.be/docs/ray/v1/usage/wordpress#showing-queries), and much more. ### Full Documentation The extensive documentation can be found [here](https://spatie.be/docs/ray).

It’s a great tool. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e0d46c630db21b5ccd3e63f230d0a18e274e6c9ca748949a137aeae73aaae436? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Awesome debugging tool](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-debugging-tool-5/)󠁿 [Kirk Beard](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kirkbeard/) 29. maja 2023 Ray has been a great to use when working on Laravel sites, so I’m glad they’ve made the effort to also support WordPress. It’s definitely worth the money! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9c5813f24d1c3617dc92c4020fd4c55eba140ccc61cb68eed77b711819d048ee? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Extremely helpful tool!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/extremely-helpful-tool-3/)󠁿 [John Hawkins](https://profiles.wordpress.org/vegasgeek/) 30. měrca 2023 I’ve been using Ray for quite a while now and I have to say, it’s one of the most useful dev tools I use! Gone are the days of spewing vardump and print_r to the screen! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0aaa2c3a0bd2915cbeddca59d0762691478a1d17e846124ae9ce2e3cf7577104? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great debugging tool](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-debugging-tool-4/)󠁿 [stirrell42](https://profiles.wordpress.org/stirrell42/) 22. oktobra 2021 Makes debugging a breeze without dumping out information to the screen. So simple to setup that is is just as easy as doing a var_dump and has so many more features. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/379fd411ee29c932b41ddc083c9bd39a0a616bdd64332b4b0f2701a2f243f289? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Debugging your code made simple](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/debugging-your-code-made-simple/)󠁿 [Dave Bolger](https://profiles.wordpress.org/daveapb/) 14. januara 2021 If you are constantly writing var_dump() or error_log() to debug your code you’ll know it gets painful when debugging larger and more complex code. Using Ray is the simple way to debug without the hassle of reading through Log files or half rendered/ broken pages on the browser. A couple of hours of using Ray and you will have recouped the cost in lost time. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0eb0c125a95bbb96a00c31b474c67d7761c87964bd9ba973bd3e4b896097bdb5? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Where logging fails, Ray prevails](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-logging-fails-ray-prevails/)󠁿 [sebkay](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sebkay/) 14. januara 2021 I was having trouble debugging an issue in my WP Cron task. It’s quite complex and calls out to an external database in multiple places, so trying to figure out where the issue was started driving me insane. As there was a PHP error in my code (I was trying to call a method on null) my logger wasn’t picking up any issues, nor was it even logging sometimes and no exceptions were being thrown. After installing Ray it worked right away with no setup (other than installing it with Composer). I then managed to find the issue in about 5 minutes because of Ray’s simplicity and speed in giving you the output. The UI is minimal which is perfect as nothing gets in your way while trying to debug and having everything formatted beautifully is a massive win over basic debug logging. I bought a licence right away and would have happily paid 2x the price I did. Amazingly simple yet powerful 👌 [ Read all 10 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/spatie-ray/reviews/) ## Sobustatkujuce a wuwijarje „Ray“ jo software wótwórjonego žrědła.
