      How To Enable Debug Mode For Drupal 8

      Drupal 8 provides the best in-class caching mechanism to the Drupal powered websites. It has simple and easy to use for front end user. But, it can be a cumbersome process for developers during the project development. We can disable debug/caching mode during drupal theme integration to ease during theme integration/front end development work.

      Steps to disable caching mechanism:

      The below code available in settings.php. It is mandatory to remove the comment for managing the task. Please edit sites/default/settings.php file to uncomment the below code.
      if (file_exists(__DIR__ . '/settings.local.php')) {
      include __DIR__ . '/settings.local.php';
      }

      It’s critical important that the code is at the bottom of your settings.php file ,so that the local settings can override the default settings.

      After that, please copy the sites/example.settings.local.php to sites/default/settings.local.php and clear the cache. Then, edit the settings.local.php file and set below configuration to False. Below configuration will help you to disable css and js aggregation for the website.
      $config['system.performance']['css']['preprocess'] = FALSE;
      $config['system.performance']['js']['preprocess'] = FALSE;
      Please copy /sites/development.services.yml to sites/default/services.yml.

      Please open services.yml file. It will have twig.config[debug] mode settings or you can add sites/development.services.yml file if you follow the steps above to use settings.local.php file. Please make changes as per below configurations.
      # Enable Twig debugging.
      parameters:
      twig.config:
      debug: true
      auto_reload: true
      cache: false

      After these changes, it will be easier to find out which portion of HTML code has been written in which templates file, in the source code. You will see each part of Twig templates surrounded by HTML comments that contain the matching suggestion templates.
