If I'm used to PHP's var_dump() and print_r() to check the value of a variable, how can I evolve to inspect things in Craft where Twig's dump isn't available?

5In what cases would Twig's dump() function not be available? You mean just when Dev Mode isn't enabled?– Brandon KellyCommented Jun 12, 2014 at 1:33

2Yes, that is apparently what I mean. I've learned something, but now I feel a bit daft.– Matt SteinCommented Jun 12, 2014 at 1:37

There's the dbug plugin which should give you what you are after, template side.
This plugin adds a helpful dbug method to your Craft templates. This will help you see in the dark - figure out what kind of variables you are dealing with, and what methods they implement.

The dbug plugin isn't supported anymore, and Luke (the author) recommended craft_kint instead. Commented Aug 31, 2016 at 17:50
If you have devMode set to "true" in your config files, you can use "dump" in a twig template like this without any plug in needed:
{{ dump(myArray) }}

devModeis enabled by adding'devMode' => truetocraft/config/general.php. Commented Jul 30, 2016 at 10:56
There's a plugin called "craft inspector" https://github.com/adrianmacneil/craft-inspector that has come in handy.
{{ craft.request | inspect }}
{{ inspect(craft.request) }}
