What It Does

WP Console brings the renowned PsySH directly to your browser. PsySH serves as a runtime developer console, an interactive debugger, and a PHP REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop).

To utilize WP Console, simply write your code within the code editor, then press Cmd-Enter (mac) or Ctrl-Enter (win/linux) to instantly view the output in your browser.

Moreover, you have the option to employ PsySH alongside wp-cli by executing the command wp shell. Notably, wp-cli comes with inherent compatibility for psysh. All that is required is the activation of WP Console to leverage this feature.

WP Console features a powerful code editor powered by Ace Editor, real-time autocompletion for PHP core and WordPress functions, and customizable code snippet functionality. It also provides instant access to debug.log contents and enhances the shell experience with psySH.

To begin using the plugin, activate it within your WordPress setup and look for a quick link labeled 'Console' in the WP Admin Bar. Click on it to access the WP Console panel.

Please note that this plugin is not intended for use on a production server.
