Debug your Neos site with the Ray app.
Ray is a debugger app from Spatie. You can find more information about Ray on https://myray.app/.
Official Ray docs: https://spatie.be/docs/ray/v1/introduction.
Run the following command in your site package:
composer require --no-update beromir/neos-ray
Then run composer update
in your project root.
You need to have the Ray app installed and a valid license. You can download the app here: https://spatie.be/docs/ray/v1/the-ray-desktop-app/download-the-free-demo.
Create the configuration file ray.php
in your Neos site root directory.
Configuration options: https://spatie.be/docs/ray/v1/configuration/framework-agnostic-php.
Configuration options when you use Docker: https://spatie.be/docs/ray/v1/environment-specific-configuration/docker.
You can use all Ray functions from https://spatie.be/docs/ray/v1/usage/framework-agnostic-php-project.
Reference list (just the PHP specific functions): https://spatie.be/docs/ray/v1/usage/reference.
To use the functions, you must add them as key-value pairs in Fusion.
If the function does not require any parameters, you can use null
, false
or an empty string as the value.
To pass parameters, add them as a value.
valueToDebug = 'Show this text in the Ray app.'
valueToDebug.@process.debug = Beromir.Ray:Debug {
// Show a label in the Ray app
label = 'Text'
// Colorize the output
red = ''
// Show the output as large text
large = ''
}
valueToDebug = 'Show this text in the Ray app.'
valueToDebug.@process.debug = Beromir.Ray:Debug {
// Show a label in the Ray app
label = 'Text'
// Only send a payload once when in a loop
once = ${node}
}
Debug a Fusion expression:
valueToDebug = 'Show this text in the Ray app.'
valueToDebug.@process.debug = Beromir.Ray:Debug
Alternative ways:
// Debug the current node
debug = Beromir.Ray:Debug {
value = ${node}
}
renderer = afx`
{props.debug}
`
renderer = afx`
<Beromir.Ray:Debug value={node}/>
`
Debug multiple values:
debug = Beromir.Ray:Debug {
// Pass the values as an array
value = ${[node, site]}
}
renderer = afx`
{props.debug}
`
Use Debug Actions to debug NodeTypes:
// Display the NodeType name of the node
debug = Beromir.Ray:Debug {
value = ${node}
debugAction = 'nodeTypeName'
}
renderer = afx`
{props.debug}
`
// Display the properties of the current node and the site node
debug = Beromir.Ray:Debug {
value = ${[node, site]}
debugAction = 'properties'
}
renderer = afx`
{props.debug}
`
You can use the following Debug Actions for NodeTypes:
Debug Action | Description |
---|---|
nodeTypeName |
Display the NodeType name of a node |
context |
Display the context of a node |
contextPath |
Display the context path of a node |
properties |
Display the properties of a node |
You can also use the Ray Eel helper to debug your site.
{Beromir.Ray.debug(node)}
{Beromir.Ray.debug([node, site])}
The second parameter can be used to set a debug action for NodeTypes.
{Beromir.Ray.debug(node, 'properties')}
