NAME

       Data::Dumper::Concise - Less indentation and newlines plus sub deparsing

SYNOPSIS

         use Data::Dumper::Concise;

         warn Dumper($var);

       is equivalent to:

         use Data::Dumper;
         {
           local $Data::Dumper::Terse = 1;
           local $Data::Dumper::Indent = 1;
           local $Data::Dumper::Useqq = 1;
           local $Data::Dumper::Deparse = 1;
           local $Data::Dumper::Quotekeys = 0;
           local $Data::Dumper::Sortkeys = 1;
           local $Data::Dumper::Trailingcomma = 1;
           warn Dumper($var);
         }

       So for the structure:

         { foo => "bar\nbaz", quux => sub { "fleem" } };

       Data::Dumper::Concise will give you:

         {
           foo => "bar\nbaz",
           quux => sub {
               use warnings;
               use strict 'refs';
               'fleem';
           },
         }

       instead of the default Data::Dumper output:

         $VAR1 = {
          'quux' => sub { "DUMMY" },
          'foo' => 'bar
         baz'
         };

       (note the tab indentation, oh joy ...)

       (The trailing comma on the last element of an array or hash is enabled by a new feature in
       Data::Dumper version 2.159, which was first released in Perl 5.24.  Using
       Data::Dumper::Concise with an older version of Data::Dumper will still work, but you won't
       get those commas.)

       If you need to get the underlying Dumper object just call "DumperObject".

       Also try out "DumperF" which takes a "CodeRef" as the first argument to format the output.
       For example:

         use Data::Dumper::Concise;

         warn DumperF { "result: $_[0] result2: $_[1]" } $foo, $bar;

       Which is the same as:

         warn 'result: ' . Dumper($foo) . ' result2: ' . Dumper($bar);

DESCRIPTION

       This module always exports a single function, Dumper, which can be called with an array of
       values to dump those values.

       It exists, fundamentally, as a convenient way to reproduce a set of Dumper options that
       we've found ourselves using across large numbers of applications, primarily for debugging
       output.

       The principle guiding theme is "all the concision you can get while still having a useful
       dump and not doing anything cleverer than setting Data::Dumper options" - it's been
       pointed out to us that Data::Dump::Streamer can produce shorter output with less lines of
       code. We know. This is simpler and we've never seen it segfault. But for complex/weird
       structures, it generally rocks.  You should use it as well, when Concise is underkill. We
       do.

       Why is deparsing on when the aim is concision? Because you often want to know what
       subroutine refs you have when debugging and because if you were planning to eval this back
       in you probably wanted to remove subrefs first and add them back in a custom way anyway.
       Note that this -does- force using the pure perl Dumper rather than the XS one, but I've
       never in my life seen Data::Dumper show up in a profile so "who cares?".

BUT BUT BUT ...

       Yes, we know. Consider this module in the ::Tiny spirit and feel free to write a
       Data::Dumper::Concise::ButWithExtraTwiddlyBits if it makes you happy. Then tell us so we
       can add it to the see also section.

SUGARY SYNTAX

       This package also provides:

       Data::Dumper::Concise::Sugar - provides Dwarn and DwarnS convenience functions

       Devel::Dwarn - shorter form for Data::Dumper::Concise::Sugar

SEE ALSO

       We use for some purposes, and dearly love, the following alternatives:

       Data::Dump - prettiness oriented but not amazingly configurable

       Data::Dump::Streamer - brilliant. beautiful. insane. extensive. excessive. try it.

       JSON::XS - no, really. If it's just plain data, JSON is a great option.
