dio_debug_logger 0.2.1

In-app network inspector for Dio: draggable debug button, request list with search and filters, request/response details, stats, retry and cURL/Postman export.

dio_debug_logger

An in-app network inspector for Dio. Adds a draggable debug button to your app that opens a full log viewer: request list with search and filters, request / response / error details, statistics, retry, and cURL / Postman / JSON export.

Setup takes two lines, and both are automatically disabled in release builds.

Installation

flutter pub add dio_debug_logger

Setup (2 lines)

import 'package:dio_debug_logger/dio_debug_logger.dart';

// 1) Record the requests of your Dio instance
final dio = Dio()..addDebugLogger();

// 2) Show the debug button
MaterialApp(
  builder: DioDebugLogger.builder(),
  home: const HomePage(),
);

That's it. Tap the 🐞 button to open the logs.

• Both lines do nothing in release builds (kDebugMode is the default), so you don't need to remove them before shipping.
• No navigatorKey or navigatorObservers needed — the navigator is found automatically.

Already have a builder?

Pass it in — the debug button is placed on top of it:

MaterialApp(
  builder: DioDebugLogger.builder(
    builder: (context, child) => MediaQuery(
      data: MediaQuery.of(context).copyWith(textScaler: TextScaler.noScaling),
      child: child!,
    ),
  ),
);

Enable it in other environments

Pass enabled to both lines, for example to show it in a staging build:

dio.addDebugLogger(enabled: isStaging);

MaterialApp(builder: DioDebugLogger.builder(enabled: isStaging));

---

Configuration

DioDebugLogger.builder(
  enabled: kDebugMode,                   // default
  backgroundColor: Colors.indigo,
  foregroundColor: Colors.white,
  icon: Icons.bug_report_rounded,
  buttonSize: 56,
  showBadge: true,                       // request / error count
  initialAlignment: Alignment.centerLeft,
  snapToEdge: true,                      // snap to the nearest edge when released
);

dio.addDebugLogger(
  enabled: kDebugMode,                   // default
  printToConsole: kDebugMode,            // default
  redactSensitiveHeaders: true,          // mask Authorization etc. in the console
  maxConsoleBodyLength: 2000,
);

// How many requests are kept in memory (default 200)
DioDebugLogger.configure(maxRequests: 500);

// Use your own Dio for the "Retry" button (certificate pinning, base options, ...)
DioDebugLogger.retryClientBuilder = () => myDio;

---

Opening the logs from code

DioDebugLogger.open(context);
DioDebugLogger.close(context);
DioDebugLogger.isOpen;           // bool
DioDebugLogger.isOpenNotifier;   // ValueListenable<bool>

---

Accessing the logs directly

final storage = DioDebugLogger.storage;   // singleton ChangeNotifier

storage.count;
storage.errorCount;
storage.successCount;
storage.pendingCount;
storage.averageElapsedMs;
storage.requests;                // List<DebugModel>, newest first

storage.setRecording(false);     // pause recording
storage.clear();
storage.deleteById(id);
storage.exportAll(redact: true); // List<Map<String, dynamic>>

---

What's on the log page

• Search by URL, method or status code
• Filter — All / Success / Errors / Pending
• Multi-select — long press to select, delete in bulk
• Swipe to delete a single log
• ⋮ menu — Analytics, Pause recording, Copy all as JSON, Clear all
• Details — Request / Response / Error tabs, JSON tree ↔ raw text, headers, size and duration
• Copy — cURL, Postman collection, JSON, readable summary, response body only (the Hide tokens switch masks Authorization / Cookie)
• Retry — resend the request and see the result in place

---

Security notes

• Sensitive headers (Authorization, Cookie, X-Api-Key, …) are masked in console output, in copied text (when Hide tokens is on, the default) and in exportAll().
• The UI shows headers in full — this is a developer tool. Keep it disabled in production (the default).

Migrating from 0.1.x

The old API still works but is deprecated:

Old	New
dio.interceptors.add(DebugLogging())	dio.addDebugLogger() (the old form is still fine)
NetworkLogger.overlayBuilder(...)	DioDebugLogger.builder(...)
NetworkLogger.open/close/...	DioDebugLogger.open/close/...
openDebugPage(context)	DioDebugLogger.open(context)

Note: NetworkLogger.overlayBuilder() was enabled by default; DioDebugLogger.builder() is only enabled in debug builds unless you pass enabled.
