Lo sviluppo del modulo Devel affonda le sue radici nel lontano 2003 quando la versione di Drupal era la 4.1. Ne è passata di acqua sotto i ponti e siamo in direttura di arrivo per la prima versione stabile di Devel per Drupal 8. Molte cose sono cambiate sia a livello di architettura che di funzionalità messe a disposizione degli sviluppatori. Integrazione con il Core - integrazione nativa con il modulo Toolbar del Core - pagine di informazione sul Service Container, le rotte, le entità, gli eventi e molto altro - cambio rapido di utente - accesso in lettura e modifica dei dati memorizzati nel Configuration Management System e nelle State API - estensioni di Twig per il dump delle variabili o l'impostazione di breakpoint per xDebug Dumpers Un sistema a plugin per stampare in pagina variabili complesse come array ed oggetti. Kint, Symfony var-dumper, Doctrine, sono tutti supportati e presenti di default in Devel. Webprofiler Profila e analizza ogni singola pagina del sito. Dalla toolbar che Webprofiler aggiunge al footer di ogni pagina hai una visione sull'utilizzo delle risorse, sulle query al database, sulle viste, sui blocchi e molto altro.

9. Core integrations
Drupal 8 integrates a lot of module that in Drupal 7 were contrib.
The new Devel leverages those modules to provide information and new
features to developers.

many more.

6 * description = @Translation("Example dumper ..."),
7 * )

16

21. Webprofiler

22. Webprofiler
The old Devel query logger and memory profiler has been moved to a
sub-module: Webprofiler.
17

23. Realtime data
The report pages that Devel shows about services, routing and so on,
lists all data available in a Drupal website.
Webprofiler instead collects data about the rendered page, so it is useful
to measure performance data.
18

24. Available data collectors - 1
• Assets
• Blocks
• Cache
• Config
• Database
• Devel
• Events
• Extensions
• Forms
• Http
• Mail
19

25. Available data collectors - 2
• PHP Config
• Performance Timing
• Request
• Routing
• Services
• State
• Theme
• Timeline
• User
• Views
20

26. Integration with XHProf
Webprofiler collects high level Drupal data structure. If we need PHP
function level data about performance we need a hierarchical profiler like
XHProf (or Tideways for PHP 7.x)
The Drupal XHProf module adds a new data collector for Webprofiler.
21
