About:
Tinkerwell is an interactive PHP REPL and tinker tool designed for Laravel and general PHP development. It allows developers to execute code snippets against a local or remote application context, providing instant feedback for debugging and experimentation. The tool streamlines the development workflow by eliminating the need to write temporary scripts or use the command line for quick code execution.
|
Key Features:
- Interactive REPL for instant PHP code execution
- Seamless integration with Laravel applications
- Connect to remote servers via SSH for live debugging
- Support for multiple PHP versions
- Built-in code editor with syntax highlighting
|
Use Cases:
- Debugging production issues by connecting to remote servers via SSH
- Testing Laravel Eloquent queries and model interactions without starting a web request
- Rapid prototyping and experimenting with new PHP packages or logic
- Inspecting and manipulating application state in a running environment
|
Alternatives:
-
Tinkerwell CLI
– The official CLI version of Tinkerwell for terminal-based usage.
-
Laravel Tinker
– A Composer package for a CLI REPL, but lacks the GUI and remote SSH features of Tinkerwell.
-
PsySH
– A powerful REPL for PHP that Tinkerwell is built upon, but PsySH is a command-line only tool.
