Examples
Example #1:
from var_dump import var_dump
var_dump(123) # output: #0 int(123)
var_dump(123.44) # output: #0 float(123.44)
var_dump("this is a string") # output: #0 str(16) "this is a string"
var_dump(None) # output: # output: #0 NoneType(None)
var_dump(True) # output # output: #0 bool(True)
Example #2:
you can pass more than one argument:
from var_dump import var_dump
var_dump(123, 123.44, None, False)
Output:
#0 int(123)
#1 float(123.44)
#2 NoneType(None)
#3 bool(False)
Example #3:
from var_dump import var_dump
class Base(object):
def __init__(self):
self.baseProp = (33, 44)
self.fl = 44.33
class Bar(object):
def __init__(self):
self.barProp = "I'm from Bar class"
self.boo = True
class Foo(Base):
def __init__(self):
super(Foo, self).__init__()
self.someList = ['foo', 'goo']
self.someTuple = (33, (23, 44), 55)
self.anOb = Bar()
self.no = None
foo = Foo()
var_dump(foo)
Output
#0 object(Foo) (6)
baseProp => tuple(2)
[0] => int(33)
[1] => int(44)
someTuple => tuple(3)
[0] => int(33)
[1] => tuple(2)
[0] => int(23)
[1] => int(44)
[2] => int(55)
no => NoneType(None)
someList => list(2)
[0] => str(3) "foo"
[1] => str(3) "goo"
fl => float(44.33)
anOb => object(Bar) (2)
boo => bool(True)
barProp => str(18) "I'm from Bar class"
