+### Var Dump server
+Symfony Var Dump server is configured to allow for easier debugging. It is not meant as a replacement for xdebug but can actually be used together with xdebug.
+This Var Dump Server is especially useful for when you want to debug a request without messing up the output e.g API calls ot HTML layout.
+
+To use simply call the method `dump` and pass the arguments in exactly the same way you would when using `var_dump`.
+
+This will send the output to the Var Dump server which can be viewed in the terminal. 
+This does however require that you start the var-dump-server otherwise the output will be printed in your browser
+
+You can also `dump` and `die` if you wish to not let your code continue any further by calling the `dd` method
+
+To view the output of `dump` call the following commands:
+
+```bash
+vendor/bin/var-dump-server
+# or for running in docker
+docker exec -it engelsystem_dev_es_php_fpm_1 vendor/bin/var-dump-server
+```
+
+For more information check out the Var Dump Server documentation: [Symfony VarDumper](https://symfony.com/components/VarDumper)
