NAME
Dancer2::Plugin::DebugDump - Modified debug behavior to create multi-line output that's easier for mere mortals to parse.
VERSION
version 0.38
OVERVIEW
[Dancer2::Plugin::DebugDump](http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Dancer2%3A%3APlugin%3A%3ADebugDump), a software module written in the Perl programming language, is a simple plugin for the [Dancer2](http://perldancer.org/) web application framework. The target audience for this software is Dancer2 developers that use Dancer2's `debug` keyword during software development. It's purpose is to make the `debug` output in the log files or console easier to discern by formatting it across several lines.
SYNOPSIS
By default, Dancer2's debug keyword outputs data structures to a single line. This plugin runs variables through Data::Dumper to produce output that is easier to read.
use Dancer2;
use Dancer2::Plugin::DebugDump;
my $data_stucture = [ { 'key1' => 'value', 'key2' => 'value' }, { 'key1' => 'value' , 'key2' => 'value' } ];
ddump($data_structure);
# Sample output to your log or console
DEBUG DUMP:
$VAR1 = [
{
'key1' => 'value',
'key2' => 'value'
},
{
'key1' => 'value',
'key2' => 'value',
},
];
# Accepts multiple arguments, each argument should be a scalar or a reference
ddump($data_structure, $scalar_var, \@array_var, \%hash_var, ... );KEYWORDS
ddump
Accepts list of scalars and references which are processed through Dumper before getting sent to Dancer2's built-in debug keyword. See Synopsis for usaage.
CONFIGURATION
DebugDump requires no configuration files or environment variables.

MOTIVATION
I'm new to Dancer2 development and wrote this plugin to scratch a minor itch and to learn how to write a basic Dancer2 module. It's also my first CPAN module.
DEVELOPMENT NOTES
This software is actively maintained. Further releases are expected to help exercise my budding software development skills. Feedback, suggestions, and contributions are greatly appreciated and welcome.
I'm ignorant as to whether there is a better way to solve this problem than with a plugin. If there is a simpler, more elegant solution, I'm happy to hear it and will deprecate this module.
