custom_error 0.0.6

The "custom_error" library is a powerful flutter package designed to streamline error management and elevate error handling in your flutter applications.

0.0.6

Added

• getLatestError() retrieves the last error added
• findErrorByCode(int errorcode) retrieves all errors matching the given code

0.0.5

Added

• Added Error Reporting (send to server or email)
• Added Message Logging
• Added Colored Console Messages

Changed

• Improved error handling and error instance access.

Key Features

• Custom Error Management: Create and manage custom error objects with error codes and messages.
• Flexible Error Storage: Store multiple errors using a list of maps.
• Error Retrieval: Easily access individual error details using getter methods.
• Error State Check: Check if an error exists with the hasAnError() method.
• Type Checking: Determine if an object is an instance of CustomError using the isAnError() method.
• Show dialogs with custom titles, messages, and actions when an error occurs.
• Display SnackBars with custom backgrounds and behaviors based on error conditions.
• Error Logging report errors to a remote server / email / log for further analysis. This can help in identifying and fixing issues in production.
• Colored Console Messages display different color messages based on the error level

Usage Example

Here are some examples of how to use the Custom Error Reporting library in your Dart application:

// Log an error message
CustomErrorManager().log(e: 'This is an error message');

// Show a dialog if an error exists
CustomError customError = CustomError();
CustomErrorManager.showDialogIfError(context, customError, 'Error', 'An error occurred', null);

// Show a SnackBar if an error exists
CustomErrorManager.showSnackBarIfError(context, customError, backgroundColor: Colors.red);

// Send an error report to a server
CustomErrorManager().sendToServer(url: 'https://example.com/report', methodType: 'POST', body: 'Report data');

// Email a log message
CustomErrorManager().emailLog(message: 'Error message', recipient: '[e-mail]', appTitle: 'My App');

0.0.4

Added

• Added Dart doc documentation
• Added CustomErrorManager

Changed

• Improved error handling and error instance access.

Key Features

• Custom Error Management: Create and manage custom error objects with error codes and messages.
• Flexible Error Storage: Store multiple errors using a list of maps.
• Error Retrieval: Easily access individual error details using getter methods.
• Error State Check: Check if an error exists with the hasAnError() method.
• Type Checking: Determine if an object is an instance of CustomError using the isAnError() method.
• Show dialogs with custom titles, messages, and actions when an error occurs.
• Display SnackBars with custom backgrounds and behaviors based on error conditions.

Usage Example

import 'package:custom_error/custom_error.dart';

void main() {
  String _inputText = 'Mazzi';
  List<String> names = ['Yung', 'Cet', 'Cedric'];

  // Create and manage custom errors
  CustomError error = CustomError();
  if (! names.contains(_inputText)){
    error.setError(-1, 'Name not found.');
  }

  // Check if an error exists
  // you can also use error.isAnError(), instead of error.hasAnError()
  // To display a dialog / snackbar when an error has occured use CustomErrorManager, see examples below
  if (error.hasAnError()) {
    // handle error
    print('Error: ${error.getError()}, Code: ${error.getErrorCode()}');
  } else {
    print('No error found.');
  }

  // Add multiple errors
  error.addError(200, 'Error 200');
  error.addError(300, 'Error 300');

  // Retrieve all errors
  final allErrors = error.getAllErrors();

  // Check if an error exists
  if (error.isAnError()) {
    print('All Errors: $allErrors');
  } else {
    print('No error found.');
  }
}

Showing a Dialog / SnackBar when an error occurs using CustomErrorManager

Error Dialog

import 'package:custom_error/custom_error.dart';
import 'package:custom_error/custom_error_manager.dart';

...
...
  ElevatedButton(
    onPressed: (){
      CustomError customError = CustomError();
      customError.setError(-1, 'Showing Error Dialog');

      // add dialog buttons
      final actions = <Widget>[
        TextButton(
          onPressed: () {
            Navigator.of(context).pop();
            // add code logic for the button
          },
          child: Text('OK'),

        TextButton(
          onPressed: () {
            Navigator.of(context).pop();
            // add code logic for the button
          },
          child: Text('Cancel'),
        )
      ];

      // Show a dialog when an error occurs
      CustomErrorManager.showDialogIfError(
        context,
        customError,
        "Error Title",
        "Optional error message", // if set to null, customError.getError() message will be used
        actions,
      );
    },
    child: Text('Show Error Dialog'),
  ),
  ...
  ...
