Entry point is ./public/index.php. For debugging people usually use xdebug but I never really needed it. I usually just dd($something). If you have laravel 6 you have ddd() helper that dumps the variable but also shows you the stack trace and other useful info. You can ddd() directly in the ./vendor in the provider if you want. Put any variables you want to see in the ddd. If you don’t have laravel 6 then you can throw an exception to see the trace or dd() whatever you want to see. There are other ways of course but this was always enough for me.
