#### Updates
|
|
|
|
- July 2025: Use Kint module if you prefer Kint to the built-in Symfony Var-Dumper. Kint
|
|
support has moved to that module.
|
|
|
|
#### Introduction
|
|
|
|
Devel module contains helper functions and pages for Drupal developers and
|
|
inquisitive admins:
|
|
|
|
- A block and toolbar for quickly accessing devel pages. Install drupal/navigation_extra_tools for core navigation module integration.
|
|
- A local task tab added to entities to view their properties
|
|
- Urls created to view the internal entity properties even when there is no menu tab, for example /devel/paragraph/n
|
|
- Debug functions for inspecting a variable such as `dpm($variable)`
|
|
- Debug a SQL query `dpq($query` or print a backtrace `ddebug_backtrace()`
|
|
- A block for masquerading as other users (useful for testing)
|
|
- A mail-system class which redirects outbound email to files
|
|
- Drush commands such as `fn-hook`, `fn-event`, `token`, `uuid`, and `devel-services`
|
|
- *Devel Generate*. Bulk creates nodes, users, comment, taxonomy, media, menus, block content for development. Has
|
|
Drush integration.
|
|
|
|
This module is safe to use on a production site. Just be sure to only grant
|
|
_access development information_ permission to developers.
|
|
|
|
#### Collaboration
|
|
- https://gitlab.com/drupalspoons/devel is our workplace for code, MRs, and CI.
|
|
- Create a personal fork in order to make an MR.
|
|
- We plan to move bck to drupal.org once it uses Gitlab for issues.
|
|
- We auto-push back to git.drupalcode.org in order to keep
|
|
[Security Team](https://www.drupal.org/security) coverage and packages.drupal.org integration.
|
|
- Chat with us at [#devel](https://drupal.slack.com/archives/C012WAW1MH6) on Drupal Slack.
|
