## Description

Whoops error handling, no password logins, template hints, no indexing, flush rewrites,
everything a developer needs for their local development environment.

Components

 * **Disallow Indexing** Turn off the public blog option. This will modify the robots.
   txt generation to block all search engines
 * **Flush Rewrites** No more weird redirection problems when working on custom 
   post types or taxonomies.
 * **No Password Logins** Just stick the user in you want to login as, write anything
   in the password field, and it will login! Only works when connecting from local
   host
 * **Whoops Error Handling** The error screen from laravel, now in your WordPress
   setup
 * **Template Hints** See which templates are loading for the page you are on

The goal is to exchange security for ease of use, for that reason it’s important
that you take the security measures needed
 to ensure that someone can’t take advantage
of the site with this plugin enabled.

If you’re running on a staging environment ensure you have setup a [htpasswd](http://www.htaccesstools.com/htpasswd-generator/)

#### **Filters**

_Set Environment_

    ```
    development-environment/is-development
    ```

Dynamically set how the plugin detects if the environment is development based on
your own criteria.

_Stop a component from loading_

    ```
    development-environment/require-component-$component
    ```

Disable require of a component if you don’t want to use it. Possible values are:

    ```
    disallow-indexing, `flush-rewrites`, `no-password-logins`, `whoops-error-handling`
    ```

## Installation

To use the plugin, it must be able to detect the environment is development or staging,
this can be done via the following:

**wp-config.php**
 Add `define('WP_ENV', 'development')`

**vhost**
 Add `SetEnv WP_ENV "development"`

Or additionally via the available hooks.

– quote from user – “When an error is thrown it’s so easy to find it and quickly
debug why it happened, and the no password login makes my day so much easier
