dev_log_client 0.2.1

Flutter/Dart client for dev_log_viewer. Forwards logs to the local viewer with a Dio interceptor, AppLog shortcuts, and raw log sender.

Changelog

0.2.1

• Startup logs are no longer silently dropped. Entries sent via LogForwarder.send() before port discovery completes are now buffered (up to 200) and flushed to the server once discovery succeeds. Discovery can take a few hundred milliseconds (ping timeouts), so anything logged during main() startup would previously vanish with no error or trace.
• LogForwarder.send() now captures the timestamp at call time rather than at HTTP post time — buffered entries show the correct event time, not the time they were flushed.

0.2.0

• LogForwarder.init() now accepts an optional project parameter. Auto-detecting the project name by reading pubspec.yaml only ever worked on desktop/CLI targets — on iOS/Android the app runs sandboxed with no such file on disk, so discovery silently fell back to "lowest port wins." Pass project explicitly on mobile:

  LogForwarder.init(project: 'my_app');
  

• Discovery no longer connects to whichever server answers first. It pings every candidate port (8181–8185) concurrently via the side-effect-free /ping endpoint, then prefers a server reporting the same project, picking the most recently started one among those. Previously a stale server from a previous run (or a different project) on a lower port would win the race every time.
• DevLogInterceptor request/response/error bodies are sent unredacted — this is a localhost-only, debug-only tool, and the point is being able to inspect (and copy) real request/response data while debugging. The viewer UI masks sensitive fields by default and reveals them on click instead.

0.1.1

• Documentation only — dartdoc comments added across the public API, no behavioural changes.

0.1.0

• Initial release.
• LogForwarder — raw log sender with auto-discovery across ports 8181–8185.
• DevLogInterceptor — zero-config Dio interceptor for automatic API traffic logging.
• AppLog — named tag shortcuts (auth, nav, store, api, error, log).
• All output suppressed automatically in release builds via dart.vm.product.
