Laravel Errors 🚨

composer require isaidgitmenow/laravel-errors

A powerful, elegant, and declarative error handling package for modern Laravel applications (Laravel 11+).

Built with PHP 8.4+ Attributes and strictly adhering to SOLID principles, this package replaces traditional, boilerplate-heavy exception rendering and reporting methods with clean, declarative attributes directly on your Exception classes.

✨ Features

• Declarative PHP 8 Attributes: Configure HTTP codes, reporting rules, rate limiting, and context directly on your exception classes.
• Plug-and-Play Frontend Integrations: Automatically detects the context of the request (Filament, Livewire, Inertia, API, Web) and formats the response appropriately so your SPA or Admin panel doesn't break on a 500 error.
• Bulletproof Resilience: Includes a self-healing try/catch wrapper so an error in your error handler never causes a White Screen of Death (WSOD).
• Deep Attribute Inspection: Safely traverses Laravel's wrapped exceptions (e.g., QueryException, ViewException) to find and apply your custom attributes on the original exception.
• Spatie Ignition & Laravel Debugbar Ready: Seamlessly integrates with local developer tools without breaking production flows.
• Xdebug IDE Enrichment: Push sanitized #[WithContext] payloads directly to your IDE as debug notifications.
• Auto-Injection into Laravel Context: Automatically forwards #[WithContext] data to downstream trackers like Sentry or Flare via Laravel 11's global Context.
• Data Sanitization: Built-in redaction for sensitive keys (like passwords and API tokens) before they hit logs or external trackers.
• Anti-Spam Rate Limiting: Prevent cascading failures from exhausting your error tracker quotas using the #[RateLimit] attribute.
• Octane Compatible: Automatically flushes the reflection cache and dynamic state after every request under Swoole / RoadRunner to prevent memory leaks.
• Dynamic Pass-Through: Third-party packages can register exceptions to bypass the pipeline at runtime — no config edits required.
• Fallback Logging: Ensures your application never runs completely blind by falling back to Laravel's default logger if no reporters are configured — whether via config or dynamically via addReporter().
• Environment-Specific Reporting: Restrict #[ReportTo] to specific environments (e.g., only send Slack alerts in production).
• make:error Artisan Command: Scaffold fully decorated exception classes in seconds with php artisan make:error.
• Static Analysis Ready: Ships with a phpstan.neon.dist pre-configured for Larastan level 5.
• MCP Server Built-in: Includes a native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so your AI agent can create, inspect, and simulate errors straight from your IDE.
• CI/CD Ready: Includes a GitHub Actions workflow matrix covering PHP 8.4/8.5 × Laravel 11/12.

📦 Requirements

• PHP 8.4+
• Laravel 11.0+

🚀 Installation & Setup

You can install the package via composer:

composer require isaidgitmenow/laravel-errors

Optionally, publish the configuration file to customize the pipeline:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-errors-config"

Integration is incredibly simple. Open your bootstrap/app.php and register the handler:

// bootstrap/app.php
use Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Exceptions;
use Isaidgitmenow\LaravelErrors\ErrorHandler;

return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
    // ...
    ->withExceptions(function (Exceptions $exceptions) {
        // Let the package orchestrate your entire error pipeline:
        ErrorHandler::handle($exceptions);
    })->create();

🤖 AI Agent Integration (MCP Server)

This package ships with a native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, meaning your favorite AI coding assistant (like Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Antigravity) can connect directly to your local error pipeline.

With the MCP integration enabled, your AI can:

• Generate Exceptions: Ask your AI to "Create a PaymentFailed error with a 402 status that reports to Slack", and it will use the MCP tool to generate the fully decorated file.
• Inspect Pipeline: The AI can query your active Detectors, Renderers, and Reporters.
• Search Logs: The AI can query your application's historical JSONL error logs directly to help you debug past errors.
• Simulate Errors: The AI can instantiate and run exceptions through the pipeline in a rolled-back transaction to verify how they behave.

Setup

To connect your AI agent, add the following configuration to your client's mcp_config.json (or claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "laravel-errors-mcp": {
      "command": "cmd",
      "args": [
        "/c",
        "cd /path/to/your/project && php artisan errors:mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

(If you are on Linux or macOS, simply use bash and -c instead of cmd and /c)

🧪 Testing

The package includes a comprehensive test suite (built with Pest and Orchestra Testbench).

composer test

Run static analysis with Larastan:

composer phpstan
