Published

Laravel now offers improved HTTP Client debugging capabilities through new dump and dd methods, bringing the same convenient debugging experience from TestResponse to your everyday HTTP interactions.

// Dump response data
Http::get($url)->dump();

// Dump specific key
Http::get($url)->dump('data');

// Dump headers
Http::get($url)->dumpHeaders();

// Die and dump response
Http::get($url)->dd();

// Die and dump headers
Http::get($url)->ddHeaders();

These intuitive methods seamlessly integrate into your existing HTTP request chains, allowing you to quickly inspect response data without disrupting your workflow. The familiar syntax maintains consistency with other Laravel debugging tools, making it effortless to incorporate into your development process.

Whether examining complex API responses, validating header information, or tracking down HTTP-related issues, these methods provide immediate visibility into your HTTP interactions. Simply chain them onto any request to instantly reveal the data you need, streamlining your debugging workflow and reducing the time spent troubleshooting network communications.
