Audit class generator

This simple package adds pseudorandomized audit tags to your Twig html class definitions.

This can be useful if you don't have traditional debugging tools available.

By seeing a short, pseudorandom audit tag among the classes applied to an html element, you can quickly determine exactly which Twig template the html element came from.

That can save significant debugging time, since you don't have to guess at which Twig template to modify for a given task.

In other words, if you can view the source in a browser, you can now grep definitively for any HTML tag that already has a "class" attribute, finding exactly which Twig template generated that DOM element. Pretty neat!

Installation

To install this tool as a dev dependency:

composer require --dev patrick-maynard/audit-class-generator

Installing this in a production environment is not recommended.

Usage

Once the tool has been installed, you can run it directly from Composer’s vendor/bin

vendor/bin/audit-class-generator

This will open a new git branch and apply temporary audit classes to any Twig HTML elements that already have a "class" attribute defined.

Then view the source of the page you want to debug in a browser. You'll see that any tag that already had a "class" attribute now has a unique, pseudorandom class like audit_34f39d appended to the class list.

Just grep for that audit class, and you'll find the Twig template you want in a jiffy.

Happy debugging!
