buoy_console

Buoy console capture for Flutter — captures print, debugPrint, and uncaught errors and renders them in a 1:1 Chrome-DevTools-style Console panel that streams live to Buoy Desktop.

Part of the Buoy devtools suite. Ports @buoy-gg/console 1:1: the same level filter chips, text/regex search, preserve-log, repeat collapse, group nesting, and sync protocol.

Usage

To capture print, wrap runApp in BuoyConsole.runZoned (a Zone is the only way to intercept print). debugPrint and uncaught errors are captured with or without the zone.

import 'package:buoy/buoy.dart';

void main() {
  BuoyConsole.runZoned(() {
    runApp(const MyApp());
  });
}

MaterialApp(
  builder: (context, child) =>
      BuoyDevTools(child: child ?? const SizedBox.shrink()),
);

Or register the tool directly (without the umbrella):

import 'package:buoy_console/buoy_console.dart';

void main() {
  if (kDebugMode) registerBuoyConsole();
  BuoyConsole.runZoned(() => runApp(const MyApp()));
}

If you never call BuoyConsole.runZoned, call BuoyConsole.install() once to still capture debugPrint, FlutterError, and uncaught async errors — only print requires the zone.

Preserve log

Off by default: the buffer is in-memory and a hot restart / relaunch starts fresh. Turn on "Preserve log" in the console's Filters panel to persist the buffer across reloads (Chrome's "Preserve log").
