Requirements

  • Craft CMS 4.3.0 or higher
  • PHP 8.0 or higher

Installation

You can install the plugin via Composer:

composer require webrgp/craft-ignition

# OR if you only want to use it in development
composer require webrgp/craft-ignition --dev

This extension will bootstrap itself automatically once installed. Now you can enjoy Ignition's beautiful error pages in your Craft CMS project.

Customizing Ignition

You can configure Ignition by adding the following settings to your .env file:

CRAFT_IGNITION_EDITOR=vscode
CRAFT_IGNITION_THEME=light
CRAFT_IGNITION_REMOTE_SITES_PATH=/var/www/html
CRAFT_IGNITION_LOCAL_SITES_PATH=/Users/yourusername/Code/YourProject
CRAFT_IGNITION_SHARE_ENDPOINT=https://flareapp.io/api/public-reports
CRAFT_IGNITION_ENABLE_SHARE_BUTTON=true
CRAFT_IGNITION_ENABLE_RUNNABLE_SOLUTIONS=true
CRAFT_IGNITION_HIDE_SOLUTIONS=false

How It Works

This package introduces the IgnitionErrorHandler class, which extends Craft's default ErrorHandler class. It overrides the $exceptionView property to use this package's custom exception view file, which renders Ignition's error page.

Flare Middleware

This package also includes a few middleware classes that add Craft specific data to the Ignition error report and prevent Ignition from sharing sensitive information with Flare:

AddCraftInfo middleware

This middleware Application Info, Plugins, and Modules information present in Craft's System Report to the Ignition's and Flare's error report.

CraftSensitiveKeywords middleware

This middleware prevents Ignition from sharing sensitive information with Flare. It removes sensitive information from the error report before sharing it with Flare by testing each body parameter against Craft Security's isSensitive method.

You can customize the sensitive keywords by overriding the sensitiveKeywords in the Security component of the Craft app config:

return [
    'components' => [
        'security' => [
            'class' => \craft\services\Security::class,
            'sensitiveKeywords' => [
                'lorem',
            ],
        ],
    ]
];

These are the default sensitive keywords in Craft CMS.

Censored Headers middleware

Besides the sensitive keywords, this module also censors the following headers from the error report:

  • API-KEY
  • Authorization
  • Cookie
  • Set-Cookie
  • X-CSRF-TOKEN
  • X-XSRF-TOKEN
  • ip
  • x-forwarded-for
  • x-real-ip
  • x-request-ip
  • x-client-ip
  • cf-connecting-ip
  • fastly-client-ip
  • true-client-ip
  • forwarded
  • proxy-client-ip
  • wl-proxy-client-ip

Roadmap

  • Add environment variable to disable Craft Ignition.
  • Add Craft-specific solutions to Ignition.
