Laravel Telescope

Inspection and debugging.

Demo

A demo of how Laravel Telescope can help you debug your application.

The best demo for Laravel Telescope is for you to actually play around and explore it yourself, you can do this by spinning up Laravel locally and installing it.

Generally, Telescope is only used in development as a debug aid since it will log virtually everything that goes on in your application. You can use Telescope in production but it only reports on major issues like errors.

Should you deploy it to production, make sure it's locked away behind some authentication because it can reveal key details about the application, via stack traces, however, because I'm a semi trusting person, I have left it open in LaraPi to allow you to get hands on with a real world example.

On that note, I will be watching and if I find it being abused, I will lock it away!

Trigger Scenarios

Trigger a scenario and see it in the Telescope dashboard.

Show Your Working

A quick walkthrough of how this works.

My assumptions, at the very least, are that you have Laravel setup and working.

There are essentially four commands to get Telescope installed.

composer require laravel/telescope
php artisan telescope:install
php artisan migrate

Now, head over to /telescope in your browser and you should see the dashboard, for more details on how to configure Telescope further, see the links below.
