Eliminating the CLI Round-Trip in Magento 2
Magento 2 developers spend dozens of minutes every day switching between code editors, browser tabs, and terminal terminals to run bin/magento cache:flush, tail var/log/system.log, or inspect DI configuration.
To eliminate this friction, I created two complementary developer extensions:
- Admin Dev Tools: Adds an in-browser utility toolbar inside the Magento Admin for selective cache pool clearing, indexer management, log tailing, and object manager reflection.
- Frontend Dev Tools: Injects a lightweight storefront profiling bar that measures block execution times, layout handle trees, database query counts, and template origins.
Installation via Composer
# Install Admin Dev Tools
composer require modracx/module-admin-dev-tools
bin/magento module:enable Modracx_AdminDevTools
bin/magento setup:upgrade
# Install Frontend Dev Tools Profiler
composer require modracx/module-frontend-dev-tools
bin/magento module:enable Modracx_FrontendDevTools
bin/magento setup:upgrade
