TinkerVault
TinkerVault is an advanced, high-productivity GUI for Laravel Tinker designed to supercharge your database and backend workflow. Eliminate context switching, skip repetitive boilerplate typing, and bypass raw shell outputs—interact with your database, profile queries, and manage your Laravel environment directly within VS Code.

TinkerVault brings deep integration and powerful utility suites to your Laravel workspace:
- Interactive Command Execution: Run raw PHP and Eloquent commands with a robust editor or use pre-configured form presets for common operations.
- Automated Model Discovery: Automatically index and explore your workspace's Eloquent models to easily construct boilerplate queries.
- SQL Query Profiling: Automatically profile and track executed SQL queries, execution times, and parameter bindings.
- Rich Data Visualization: View returned models, collections, and arrays in high-fidelity tables or interactive JSON trees.
- Environment & Connection Pulse: Instantly monitor your current Laravel environment, active database driver, and application configuration.
