Laravel's tinker command allows to run any code you want as if you are inside your Laravel app. But if you want to run a single line of code if can be a bit bothersome. You must start up tinker, type the code, press enter, and quit tinker.

This package contains an Artisan command to dd anything from the commandline. No need to start and quit tinker anymore.

# dumps the first user
php artisan dd "User::first()"

You're free to use this package (it's MIT-licensed), but if it makes it to your production environment we highly appreciate you sending us a postcard from your hometown, mentioning which of our package(s) you are using.

Our address is: Spatie, Samberstraat 69D, 2060 Antwerp, Belgium.

We publish all received postcards on our company website.

You can install the package via composer:

composer require spatie/laravel-artisan-dd

You must register the Spatie\ArtisanDd\DdCommand in the console kernel.

// app/Console/Kernel.php

protected $commands = [
    ...
    \Spatie\ArtisanDd\DdCommand::class,
];

You can pass any code you want to execute as the first argument. The result will be dumped to the screen.

php artisan dd "bcrypt('secret')"; 

Multiple pieces of code can be dumped in one go:

php artisan dd "bcrypt('secret')" "bcrypt('another-secret')"; 

This command can run arbitrary code by using PHP's eval. Be aware that this can be potentially dangerous. By default the command will only run in a local environment. You can make it run in other environments by setting an ALLOW_DD_COMMAND enviroment variable to true.
