debug_plugin 0.0.3

A lightweight Flutter plugin for in-app debugging that provides logging, search functionality, and a built-in debug console with persistent storage using SharedPreferences.

Debug Plugin

A Flutter plugin for in-app debugging that provides a simple way to log and view debug information during development and testing.

Features

• Debug Logging: Log debug information with feature names and timestamps
• Debug Screen: Display a built-in debug console within your app
• Search Capability: Search through logs by feature or content
• Persistent Storage: Logs persist between app restarts using SharedPreferences
• Simple Integration: Easy to add to any Flutter application

Installation

Add the debug_plugin to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  debug_plugin: ^0.0.1

Run:

flutter pub get

Usage

Initialize the plugin

Before using the plugin, you need to initialize it:

import 'package:debug_plugin/debug_plugin.dart';

// In your app initialization
await DebugPlugin().initialize();

Logging debug information

// Log debug information with a feature name and message
DebugPlugin().logDebug('YourFeatureName', 'This is a debug message');

Display the debug console

// Show the debug screen when needed (e.g., in a developer menu)
DebugPlugin().showDebugScreen(context);

The debug screen provides:

• A search field to filter logs
• A scrollable list of all logs with timestamps
• A button to clear all logs

Example

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:debug_plugin/debug_plugin.dart';

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  await DebugPlugin().initialize();
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: const Text('Debug Plugin Example'),
        ),
        body: Center(
          child: Column(
            mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
            children: [
              ElevatedButton(
                onPressed: () {
                  DebugPlugin().logDebug('ButtonPress', 'Button was pressed');
                },
                child: const Text('Log Debug Event'),
              ),
              ElevatedButton(
                onPressed: () {
                  DebugPlugin().showDebugScreen(context);
                },
                child: const Text('Show Debug Screen'),
              ),
            ],
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
