🚀 Usage

With Dio

import 'package:curl_logger/curl_logger.dart';
import 'package:dio/dio.dart';

void main() {
  final dio = Dio()
    ..interceptors.add(
      DioCurlInterceptor(
        prettyJson: true,      // pretty print JSON body (default: true)
        previewLength: 2000,   // max response body preview chars (default: 2000)
      ),
    );

  dio.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1');
}

Output:

With http

import 'package:curl_logger/curl_logger.dart';

void main() async {
  final client = HttpCurlClient(
    prettyJson: true,
    previewLength: 2000,
  );

  await client.get(
    Uri.parse('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1'),
  );

  client.close();
}

Using buildCurl manually

You can also build a cURL string manually without any HTTP client:

import 'package:curl_logger/curl_logger.dart';

void main() {
  final curl = buildCurl(
    method: 'POST',
    url: Uri.parse('https://api.example.com/login'),
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'Authorization': 'Bearer my_token', // will be obscured as ***
    },
    body: {'username': 'rohit', 'password': '1234'},
    prettyJson: true,
    obscureHeader: {'authorization', 'cookie'},
  );

  print(curl);
}

Output:

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.example.com/login' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: ***' \
--data-raw '{
  "username": "rohit",
  "password": "1234"
}'
