Artisan's tinker command is a great way to tinker with your application in the terminal. Unfortunately running a few lines of code, making edits, and copy/pasting code can be bothersome. Wouldn't it be great to tinker in the browser?
This package will add a route to your application where you can tinker to your heart's content.
In case light hurts your eyes, there's a dark mode too.

];By default this package will only run in a local environment.
Visit /tinker in your local environment of your app to view the tinker page.
Should you want to run this in another environment (we do not recommend this), there are two steps you must perform.
- You must register a
viewWebTinkerability. A good place to do this is in theAuthServiceProviderthat ships with Laravel.
public function boot()
{
$this->registerPolicies();
Gate::define('viewWebTinker', function ($user = null) {
// return true if access to web tinker is allowed
});
}- You must set the
enabledvariable in theweb-tinkerconfig file totrue.
You can modify the output of tinker by specifying an output modifier in the output_modifier key of the web-tinker config file. An output modifier is any class that implements \Spatie\WebTinker\OutputModifiers\OutputModifier.
This is how that interface looks like.
namespace Spatie\WebTinker\OutputModifiers;
interface OutputModifier
{
public function modify(string $output = ''): string;
}The default install of this package will use the PrefixDataTime output modifier which prefixes the output from Tinker with the current date time.
