Clarification: All about Drupal
To Be filed
Drupal 9, 10 develop tools

Debug

  • ChatGPT
    • The quick & dirty way (NOT for production)
      print '<pre>';
      print_r($Objct);
      print '</pre>';
      exit;

      • php way - not always work with Drupal
        • not for filter code for sure
    • Better: kint() (requires Devel module) - did not try
      • need install Devel module
        can use kint() or dpm()
        kint(\Drupal::currentUser());

        • kint() only works if Devel is enabled and
        • Kint debugging is turned on
    • Logging instead of printing - pretty good
      • do not break page rendering

      \Drupal::logger('LgGrpNmAny')->debug(
      '<pre><code><pre>@Objct</pre></code></pre>',
      [ '@Objct' => print_r(\Drupal::currentUser(), TRUE), ]
      );

      • in Drupal: -Reports -Recent log messages
    • 'current user' specific
      • \Drupal::currentUser() **doesn’t give you a full User entity
        • it gives you a AccountProxy object (basically a lightweight wrapper).
      • if you want details:
        $user = \Drupal::currentUser();
        print $user->id();
        print $user->getAccountName();
