selectLogPatterns method

List<RegExp> selectLogPatterns()

Prompts the user to select log patterns to remove from a list of default patterns or to input a custom log pattern. The user can toggle selections using the space key.

The method will continue to prompt the user until at least one log pattern is selected.

Returns a list of selected RegExp patterns.

• If a default pattern is selected, it is added to the list of selected patterns.
• If the custom log name option is selected, the user is prompted to input a custom pattern, which is then added to the list of selected patterns.

The method provides visual feedback in the console using different colors:

• Blue for the initial prompt
• Green for confirming a pattern has been added
• Red for indicating that no patterns were selected
• Yellow for indicating that the selection process will restart

Implementation

List<RegExp> selectLogPatterns() {
  while (true) {
    console.setForegroundColor(ConsoleColor.brightBlue);
    print('\n🔧 Choose log patterns to remove:');
    final multiSelect = MultiSelect(
      prompt:
          '✨ Select the log patterns you want to remove: (use space to toggle)',
      options: defaultPatterns.map((pattern) => pattern.name).toList()
        ..add('Custom Log Name 🔍'),
    ).interact();

    final selectedPatterns = <RegExp>[];
    for (final index in multiSelect) {
      if (index < defaultPatterns.length) {
        selectedPatterns.add(defaultPatterns[index].pattern!);
        console.setForegroundColor(ConsoleColor.green);
        print('✅ Added: ${defaultPatterns[index].name}');
      } else {
        final customPattern = _getCustomPattern();
        selectedPatterns.add(customPattern);
      }
    }

    if (selectedPatterns.isEmpty) {
      console.setForegroundColor(ConsoleColor.red);
      print('\n❌ You must select at least one log pattern!');
      console.setForegroundColor(ConsoleColor.yellow);
      print('🔁 Returning to log pattern selection...\n');
    } else {
      console.resetColorAttributes();
      return selectedPatterns;
    }
  }
