ispectify_riverpod plugs the riverpod and flutter_riverpod ecosystem into the ISpect toolkit. One ProviderObserver forwards every provider add, update, dispose, and failure through the log pipeline, so the whole provider lifecycle shows up in the log viewer.

• Adds, updates, disposes, and failures with provider values captured by default.
• Per-provider filtering. Mute noisy providers without touching their code.
• Zero configuration. Hand the observer to ProviderScope (or ProviderContainer) and you are done.

Install

dependencies:
  flutter_riverpod: ^2.5.0
  ispectify: ^5.2.0-dev.10
  ispectify_riverpod: ^5.2.0-dev.10

Quick start

import 'package:flutter_riverpod/flutter_riverpod.dart';
import 'package:ispect/ispect.dart';
import 'package:ispectify_riverpod/ispectify_riverpod.dart';

ISpect.run(
  () => runApp(
    ProviderScope(
      observers: [ISpectRiverpodObserver(logger: ISpect.logger)],
      child: const MyApp(),
    ),
  ),
);

The observer emits logs under the riverpod-add, riverpod-update, riverpod-dispose, and riverpod-fail log-type keys, each with a dedicated icon, palette entry, and localized description in the log viewer. Filter them in the debug panel or through ISpectSettingsState.disabledLogTypes.

Settings

ISpectRiverpodSettings controls which lifecycle events are captured and whether raw provider values are written to trace meta. printValues defaults to true — ISpect is compile-time gated by ISPECT_ENABLED and never ships to production, so verbose value capture is the more useful trade.

const settings = ISpectRiverpodSettings(
  printAdds: true,
  printUpdates: true,
  printDisposes: true,
  printFails: true,
  printValues: true,        // raw values in meta — default
  enableRedaction: true,    // route values through RedactionService when set
);

Presets

// Logs disabled entirely.
ISpectRiverpodObserver(settings: ISpectRiverpodSettings.silent);

// Lifecycle creation, disposal, and failures — updates are muted.
ISpectRiverpodObserver(settings: ISpectRiverpodSettings.minimal);

// Reduces values to runtime types only. Use when provider state may carry PII
// and you still want lifecycle visibility.
ISpectRiverpodObserver(settings: ISpectRiverpodSettings.compact);

Filtering noisy providers

ISpectRiverpodObserver(
  // Drop everything for providers whose name matches one of these patterns.
  filters: [RegExp(r'cache'), 'metrics'],
  settings: ISpectRiverpodSettings(
    // Or skip individual updates by inspecting the values.
    updateFilter: (provider, previous, next) =>
        previous != next,
  ),
);

Data redaction

Sensitive data is masked before it reaches logs or observers. Redaction is on by default. The built-in rules cover auth headers, tokens, passwords, API keys, cookies, common PII (SSN, passport, driver's license), financial data (credit cards, IBAN), and phone numbers.

The same redactor runs beyond the initial capture. Supported exports, clipboard helpers, cURL generation, and observer payloads all pass through the same pipeline before data leaves the debug session.

Redaction works best paired with focused capture. Keep body and header logging off unless you actually need the payload, and register project-specific keys for the business identifiers only your application understands.

Custom keys and patterns

import 'package:ispectify/ispectify.dart';

final redactor = RedactionService(
  sensitiveKeys: {
    ...defaultSensitiveKeys,
    'x-custom-secret',
    'internal_token',
  },
  sensitiveKeyPatterns: [
    RegExp(r'my_app_secret_\w+', caseSensitive: false),
  ],
  // Keys where the value is replaced entirely instead of edge-masked.
  fullyMaskedKeys: {'filename'},
  placeholder: '***',
  visibleEdgeLength: 3,
  redactBinary: true,
  redactBase64: true,
);

Ignoring defaults

final redactor = RedactionService(
  // `?mobile=true` is a platform flag, not a phone number.
  ignoredKeys: {'mobile', 'platform_token'},
  ignoredValues: {'<test-token>', 'public-api-key'},
);

Disabling

Each interceptor accepts enableRedaction: false on its settings object. See the per-package README for the exact settings type.

Only disable redaction in isolated local or deterministic test environments. Exported sessions and observer events should be handled according to the data they contain.

Supply a custom RedactionService to mask sensitive provider state:

ISpectRiverpodObserver(
  logger: ISpect.logger,
  settings: ISpectRiverpodSettings(
    redactor: RedactionService(
      sensitiveKeys: {...defaultSensitiveKeys, 'access-token'},
    ),
  ),
);

The ISpect toolkit

ISpect is a modular monorepo. Pick the packages your project needs. Each one works on its own.

Package	What it does
ispect	Flutter UI: debug panel, log viewer, navigation observer, inspector integration.
ispect_layout	Visual layout inspector with sizes, constraints, decorations, compare mode, and a color picker.
ispectify	Pure-Dart logging core: typed log entries, filtering, tracing, observers.
ispectify_dio	Dio HTTP interceptor with automatic redaction.
ispectify_http	http package interceptor with automatic redaction.
ispectify_ws	WebSocket traffic capture with automatic redaction.
ispectify_db	Database operation tracing for SQL, ORMs, and KV stores.
ispectify_bloc	BLoC event, state, transition, and error observer.
ispectify_riverpod	Riverpod provider add, update, dispose, and failure observer.
