🚀 I'm proud to share that our team has released a new major version of Ignition. It's the most beautiful error page you ever seen, and it will be the default in @laravelphp 9

👍You can also install it in Laravel 8!

🧵 Let's take a look at all the features

At the top there's a new Docs item which will go straight to the Laravel documentation. That red dot means we found a very specific page (for instance the Eloquent page for query errors)

Settings can now be saved right in Ignition itself, you don't have to edit a config file.

🌚 YES! We do have a dark mode! 😍

Of course, Ignition still can fix common problems for you, such as generating a missing app key.

We always keep displaying the exception message. Take a look at this beautiful animation to make it sticky.

Ignition can now highlight Blade views correctly. We've gone the extra mile and created a Blade language file for highlight.js. You'll find it in this repo: github.com/spatie/highlig…

Ignition can show you the location of your dump message. Click on that path to go straight to that file.

🏎 Ignition will also show you executed queries, and even show you the execution time. Nice!

🙌 You can still get help from a colleague by sharing your Exception via flareapp.io, the best exception tracker for Laravel application.

💅 In the next few weeks, we'll also update Flare with the new Ignition design and also launch a beautiful new marketing page.

👍 The new version of Ignition will ship with Laravel 9, but you can also install it in Laravel 8. In composer.json just replace facade/ignition with spatie/laravel-igntion ^1.0

That's an easy upgrade of your error page.

You can now install Ignition into non-Laravel applications as well. It's one liner:

Ignition::make()->register();

Creating Ignition was team work:
@willemvbockstal created the design, @alex_ and @AdriaanMrn worked on the front end (the front end is written in React 🙂 ) Together with @alex_, I took care of the PHP packages.

🙌And a big thank you to the entire community!
