Data collectors

Now, it's time to discover a way to create your own profile section. Adding this might be useful if you are developing your own bundle and you want to give other developers an easy way to debug your code. To add the profile section, you need to create a new data collector. Let's assume that we want to track information about how many tasks and tags we have in the database.

<?php

// src/AppBundle/Collector/TaskDataCollector
namespace AppBundle\Collector;

use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\DataCollector\DataCollector;

class TaskDataCollector extends DataCollector
{

    protected $em;

    public function __construct(EntityManager $em)
    {
        $this->em = $em;
