Frequently asked questions about Inspection Bundle
- What is survos/inspection-bundle used for?
- It is a Symfony bundle that adds a lightweight inspection interface for browsing database tables and examining Doctrine records during development. You can quickly view rows and entity data without building custom admin screens. It is intended for debugging and exploring application data, not as a production admin panel.
- How do I install survos/inspection-bundle?
- Install it with Composer using composer require survos/inspection-bundle. Because it is a Symfony bundle, you will typically enable it in your Symfony bundle configuration rather than in a Laravel service provider. Check the repository README for any required configuration or routing setup.
- Does survos/inspection-bundle work with Laravel?
- No, it is a Symfony bundle built around Doctrine and APIPlatform attributes, so it is not a native Laravel package. Laravel applications use Eloquent or optionally Doctrine, but this bundle's Symfony integration and inspection interface are not designed for Laravel's service container or routing. You should look for Laravel-specific admin or inspection tools instead.
- What Laravel versions are supported by survos/inspection-bundle?
- None are officially supported because this is a Symfony bundle, not a Laravel package. There is no Laravel version constraint to check. If you need a Laravel-compatible inspection tool, consider packages built for Laravel's ecosystem.
- How does survos/inspection-bundle inspect Doctrine entities?
- The bundle inspects Doctrine entities that use APIPlatform attributes and provides a lightweight interface for browsing tables and records. It reads entity metadata to present rows and entity data during development. Exact capabilities depend on the bundle's configuration and the README.
- Is survos/inspection-bundle safe to use in production?
- The context describes it as a development tool for browsing database tables and examining records. It is not positioned as a hardened production admin panel, so you should avoid exposing it publicly in production. Review access controls, routing, and data exposure before enabling it in any shared environment.
- What are alternatives to survos/inspection-bundle for Laravel?
- For Laravel, consider Laravel Telescope, Laravel Debugbar, or admin panel packages like Filament or Laravel Nova for browsing records. For Symfony, you might use EasyAdmin or API Platform's built-in admin tools. Choose based on whether you need debugging, data browsing, or full admin screens.
- How do I configure survos/inspection-bundle?
- Configuration is done through Symfony's bundle and routing configuration, not Laravel config files. You typically register the bundle, import its routes if required, and configure access according to the README. The exact options are not detailed in the provided context, so check the repository documentation.
- Can I test survos/inspection-bundle in a Laravel application?
- You can install it with Composer in a Laravel project, but it will not integrate with Laravel's service container, routing, or middleware as a Symfony bundle would in Symfony. Testing it meaningfully would require a Symfony application with Doctrine and APIPlatform. For Laravel testing, use Laravel-native tools instead.
- Is survos/inspection-bundle actively maintained?
- The provided context does not include release history, commit activity, or maintainer details. Check the GitHub repository for recent commits, tagged releases, and open issues before adopting it. Because it is a Symfony bundle, also confirm compatibility with your Symfony and Doctrine versions.
