dynamic_logger 0.5.0

A simple and structured logger for Dart applications.

0.5.0

• Fix: Log formatting now runs synchronously on the calling thread. The isolate-based implementation was removed in 0.4.0 but the documentation still claimed otherwise — this release corrects all misleading references.
• Feature: Added minLevel to configure(). Messages below the configured minimum severity are silently dropped without any formatting work.
• Feature: Added maxStringLength to configure() and log(). When truncation is active, strings exceeding this length are clipped with a remaining character count (e.g. "ABC"... (47 more chars)).
• Feature: Added colorEnabled to configure(). Set to false to emit plain text without ANSI escape codes — useful for file sinks or environments without ANSI support.
• Feature: Added DynamicLogger.reset(). Restores all configuration to factory defaults. Intended for use in tests to prevent state leaking between test cases.
• Fix: Removed spurious leading space in List opening bracket (was [, now [).
• Refactor: Removed unused _LogPayload data class and _formatInIsolate function. Formatting is now inlined directly in log() with cleaner parameter names.
• Tests: Expanded test suite with coverage for all log levels, header/footer structure, minLevel, colorEnabled, maxStringLength, formatData, logHandlerOverride, enable/disable, reset(), and truncation edge cases.

0.4.0

• Docs: Updated README with the latest version.
• Refactor: Removed dart:isolate dependency.

0.3.0

• Chore: Updated example file to include custom log handler configuration for better console output visibility.
• Chore: Remove dependency.
• Docs: Improved README with clearer examples and output visibility instructions.

0.2.2

• Feature: Added global enable/disable capability via the enable parameter in DynamicLogger.configure. When disabled (enable: false), calls to DynamicLogger.log will be ignored.

0.2.1

• Fix footer output

0.2.0

• BREAKING: Refactored core formatting logic for significantly improved memory efficiency, especially with large data structures. Uses StringBuffer more effectively and reduces intermediate string creation.
• Feature: Added configurable truncation for large/deep data structures:
  • Introduced maxDepth and maxCollectionEntries limits.
  • Added DynamicLogger.configure to set global defaults for truncation, limits, and the log handler.
• Added truncate, maxDepth, and maxCollectionEntries parameters to DynamicLogger.log for per-call overrides.
• Feature: Added DynamicLogger.formatData static utility to format data structures into strings without logging, respecting truncation rules.
• Fix: Improved JSON/List formatting to be more standard (correct indentation, quoting of strings, comma placement, handling of empty collections).
• Fix: Corrected indentation for top-level primitive/string logs to align directly under the header.
• Fix: Improved header/footer appearance using single-line box characters.
• Chore: Removed dependency on the collection package.
• Chore: Added internal error handling during formatting to prevent logger crashes on unexpected data.

0.1.1
