dev_print 0.0.1

A utility for improved logging (console output) in Flutter apps with formatted messages and tags.

Dev Print

A lightweight utility for enhanced logging (console output) in Flutter apps, simplifying debugging by formatting messages and allowing the use of optional tags.

Features

• Print messages in a readable format during development.
• Supports various data types including String, Map, List, and bool.
• Automatically formats Map and List objects as JSON.
• Option to add a custom tag for better identification of logs.
• Only logs messages in kDebugMode, preventing logs from being printed in release builds.

Installation

Add dev_print to your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  dev_print:

Then, run flutter pub get to install the package.

Usage

To use the devPrint function in your app, simply import the package and call devPrint with a message:

import 'package:dev_print/dev_print.dart';

void main() {
  devPrint('Hello, World!');
  devPrint({
    'orderId': 12345,
    'products': [
      {'name': 'Laptop', 'price': 1200},
      {'name': 'Phone', 'price': 800}
    ],
    'totalPrice': 2000,
    'paid': false
  }, tag: 'OrderDetails');
}

Example Output

For a simple message:

(START)⤵⤵⤵

Hello, World!

(END)⤴⤴⤴

For a Map with a custom tag:

                ------- OrderDetails -------
(START)⤵⤵⤵

{
  "orderId": 12345,
  "products": [
    {
      "name": "Laptop",
      "price": 1200
    },
    {
      "name": "Phone",
      "price": 800
    }
  ],
  "totalPrice": 2000,
  "paid": false
}

(END)⤴⤴⤴

Parameters

• message: The message you want to log. It can be of type String, Map, List, bool, or any other data type. If it’s a Map or List, it will be automatically formatted as JSON.
• tag: (Optional) A string to label your logs for better traceability. Defaults to null.

Notes

• Logs are only printed when kDebugMode is enabled, so they won't appear in release builds.
• If a JSON formatting error occurs, an error message will be printed.
