[enhancement] Ability to disable the debugbar per controller

[tougher]

Hi

Nice package for Laravel!

I have a controller where i don't want to show the debugbar at all, even not on the dev env.

I've tried to set Config::set('laravel-debugbar::config.enabled', false); in a controllers constructor. But the check happens in the boot() function which is called before a controller constructor.

So I've made a change on line 196 in the ServiceProvider.php file, from:

if( $app->runningInConsole()){
    return;
}

to this:

if( $app->runningInConsole() || !$app['config']->get('laravel-debugbar::config.enabled')){
    return;
}

Is this the easiest way to disable the debugbar per controller?

I'm thinking there's something bigger going on here, why exactly do you need to disable the bar for this particular controller ?

Yeah I can check if the Debugbar is still enabled before actually adding the debugbar to the response, but curious why you need it off. It shouldn't interfere with non-html responses, or is it a styling issue?

I'm making a CMS/API to a smartphone app where some of the pages are opened directly in a webview (the cheaper solution). The customer is complaining about the debugbar interfering with the design.

Here is a screenshot of the info page in the iPhone simulator:

I don't care about the debugbar on thoes pages and I don't see why there should not be a way to turn it off.

Okay, I would recommend that the client doesn't see the profiler at all, but I've added a check just before outputting the response.
You can set it with Config::set('laravel-debugbar::config.enabled', false); anywhere, just as long it is before the response is sent.
