xDebug-Toggler

Xdebug is a must-have extension for PHP, although sometimes you need to toggle it to make things faster.

xDebugToggler.app for macOS allows you simply toggle xDebug on and off.

You can also restart the system some services while toggling like PHP, Nginx, MySQL that you can choose on the application settings.

If you just work on CLI scripts like testing, you shouldn't need to restart any system service.

🚀 Installation

• Using Homebrew Cask:

  • brew tap deligoez/cask
    brew install --cask xdebug-toggler

• Manual:

  • Download the latest dmg, open, and drag the app to the Applications folder.

🙌 Usage

You should have an ext-xdebug.ini file on your local PHP config path like /usr/local/etc/php/7.4/conf.d/ext-xdebug.ini

If you defined your xDebug extension directly on the php.ini file, you should remove this line and add an ext-debug.ini file on the conf.d folder.

An example ext-xdebug.ini file can look like that:

[xdebug]
zend_extension="/usr/local/opt/php/pecl/20190902/xdebug.so"

You can also set extra options for your choosen IDE like so:

[xdebug]
zend_extension="/usr/local/opt/php/pecl/20190902/xdebug.so"
xdebug.remote_autostart=1
xdebug.default_enable=1
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_connect_back=1
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.idekey=PHPSTORM
xdebug.file_link_format=phpstorm://open?%f:%l

⚙️ Settings

Right-click the app's icon on the status bar and choose Settings...

❓How it works

xDebugToggler simply renames the ext-xdebug.ini file to ext-xdebug.ini.disabled

While restarting services xDebugToggler app uses brew restart service command in the background.

🕵🏻‍♂️ Troubleshooting

• Locate the app on your /Applications folder and right click on it.

• Click the Open while pressing the Option/Alt Key on the keyboard.

• After that, you will be able to see and click the Open button.
