Easily dump or log DB queries
In order to dump SQL queries that will be executed during the request we can add DB::listen(fn ($e) => dump($e->sql, $e->bindings));
to a controller and all of the queries and their bindings will be printed.
In a future Laravel version DB::listen(fn ($e) => dump($e->toRawSql()));
could be used to get a query with bindings already in.
Logging the queries
Instead of dumping the queries to the screen, we can log them with DB::listen(fn ($e) => Log::debug($e->sql, $e->bindings));
