## Description

This plugin will tell you what environment type you are on, and what the debug settings
are.

If you have only one version of your site this plugin may not be useful to you.

Make sure every version of your site has its _ENV_ defined in wp-config.php. We 
support both the new official WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE constant, and the community classic
WP_ENV.

    ```
    define( 'WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE', 'production' );
    ```

## FAQ

### What users see the toolbar?

By default, only **Administrators** see the bar. You can change who sees the bar
with the following snippet. This example enables the bar for **Editors** as well:

    ```
    add_filter( 'edt_capability_check', function ( $capability ) {
        return 'edit_pages';
    });
    ```

### What are environment types?

Instead of displaying the exact environment you’ve set, we show types. A type is
a group of environments that roughly have the same purpose. Like local, dev, develop
and development.

### Can you support another environment?

If you’ve found a common environment that we do not yet recognize as part of a type,
please let us know and we’ll gladly add it.

If you have a rare, custom, or localized environment name, we won’t be adding those.
However, you can add support for them yourself, with these snippets:

    ```
    add_filter( 'edt_env_development', function ( $environments ) {
        $environments[] = 'daring_development';
        return $environments;
    });

    add_filter( 'edt_env_staging', function ( $environments ) {
        $environments[] = 'strange_staging';
        return $environments;
    });

    add_filter( 'edt_env_production', function ( $environments ) {
        $environments[] = 'precious_production';
        return $environments;
    });
    ```

Please make sure the environment names are lowercased.

### Can you support more types?

Perhaps, if you can convince us. Please create a GitHub issue, so we can discuss
your use-case.

### Can I show the toolbar on the frontend as well?

You can, with the snippet below.

Keep in mind that if you have a site where the end users are logged in, and see 
the toolbar on the frontend, you probably don’t want to bother them by showing the
environment info.

    ```
    add_filter( 'edt_show_on_frontend', '__return_true' );
    ```

### Can I set my own colors?

Yeah. Like with all CSS, you can override it:

    ```
    #wp-admin-bar-edt-group .env-type-1 { background-color: #f09; }
    ```

### Can I disable all styles?

Sure. You can disable our CSS with this snippet:

    ```
    add_action( 'admin_enqueue_scripts', function () {
        wp_dequeue_style( 'edt-backend-css' );
    });
    ```

I use this during development of projects that have multiple environments and it
has really come in handy. These kinds of dev-friendly features should really be 
built into WordPress, but until then this is just as good!
