Drupal 8 BOGOFs: A Hitchhiker's Guide to Less Popular Symfony Components
summary
Drupal 8 installs pull in useful Symfony pieces you rarely notice; run composer show to list them and use VarDumper’s dump() for readable, collapsible variable output without extra setup. Enable richer error traces by dropping two lines into settings.php (uses Whoops-style handlers). Use the Finder component to filter nested files by name, extension or size instead of hand-rolling pathinfo loops. Install symfony/dotenv (composer require symfony/dotenv) to load .env values into settings, and use the console ProgressBar to track uploads of tens of thousands of files.
