feature #28919 [DX][WebProfilerBundle] Add Pretty Print functionality…
… for Request Content (SamFleming) This PR was squashed before being merged into the 4.3-dev branch (closes #28919). Discussion ---------- [DX][WebProfilerBundle] Add Pretty Print functionality for Request Content | Q | A | ------------- | --- | Branch? | master | Bug fix? | no | New feature? | yes | BC breaks? | no | Deprecations? | no | Tests pass? | yes | Fixed tickets | | License | MIT | Doc PR | n/a ? ## Why? Quite often when attempting to debug issues with JSON requests sent to a Symfony API, I use the Web Profiler to check the request content. More often than not the request content isn't easily readable (99% of the time it's all stuck on a single line and impossible to read). I always find myself copying + pasting the content into a random online tool to have it "pretty-print" the JSON. Usually this isn't an issue, but can be annoying when offline. There's also the security issue of sending entire JSON payloads to a third-party server just for formatting 😳. Alternatively, maybe developers copy+paste into their chosen editors and this PR is all a waste of time — I hope not 😛. ## How? This PR adds "Pretty-Print" JSON functionality straight into the profiler. We can use `collector.requestheaders` to detect if the request was JSON and conditionally show the Pretty Print button. When the button is clicked, we format the JSON from the "Request Content" card. ## What does it look like? Before: ![without-pretty-print](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/573318/47180751-36b0ce00-d319-11e8-86ed-eb0d78ebcbe3.png) After: ![pretty](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/573318/47180763-3c0e1880-d319-11e8-995d-eba565aad827.png) Non-JSON Requests (unchanged): ![non-json-request](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/573318/47181080-03227380-d31a-11e8-8cf2-e8b2e8c1a21d.png) ## Things to consider - Is `JSON.stringify(JSON.parse(content));` the safest, most efficient way to do this? - Should the "Pretty Print" button be in-line next to the "Request Content" header? I couldn't find a pattern for this sort of thing elsewhere in the profiler. - Do people want JSON formatted with 4 spaces, would 2 spaces be preferred? Should this be a configuration option stored in localStorage (such as the light/dark theme configuration)? - Should this be a toggle? E.g. click to pretty print, then click to undo ## Future Improvements Depending on how this is received it could be extended to support formatting different request content-types (e.g. XML formatting) — I assume. ## Progress - [x] Gather feedback and decide where to perform the pretty-print: [server-side, or client-side](symfony/symfony#28919 (comment)). *It was decided server-side would be better.* Commits ------- 9f85103151 [DX][WebProfilerBundle] Add Pretty Print functionality for Request Content
