void main() {
  	// add conditions to initialize the plugin
  	FlutterSocketLogPlugin.init(appName: 'Dummy App');
  	runApp(const MyApp());
}

Log to remote client app

FlutterSocketLogPlugin.log(
   'Write your logs', 
   DefaultLogs.debug, // customize logs if you want
   [DefaultLogs.network], // add your log tags, customize tags
);

Customize Log Levels and Log Tags

Initialize your log tag and log level

List<LogLevel> logLevels = [
  FlutterSocketLogPlugin.createLogLevel(
    'Critical',
    Colors.cyan.value,
    Icons.warning.codePoint,
  ),
  FlutterSocketLogPlugin.createLogLevel(
    'Alert',
    Colors.red.value,
    Icons.error.codePoint,
  )
];

List<LogTag> logTags = [
  FlutterSocketLogPlugin.createTag(
    'Request',
    Colors.blue.value,
    Icons.network_wifi.codePoint,
  ),
  FlutterSocketLogPlugin.createTag(
    'Response',
    Colors.green.value,
    Icons.network_wifi.codePoint,
  ),
];

Add customizations to init function

FlutterSocketLogPlugin.init(
  appName: 'Customized App',
  logLevels: logLevels,
  logTags: logTags,
);

Start Logging

FlutterSocketLogPlugin.log(
  'Write your logs here',
  logLevels[0],
  [
    logTags[0],
    logTags[1],
  ]
);

Once you define your custom methods it could be as simple as this:

Logger.debugNetwork('Write your log here');

Log Tags and Log Levels

Log Tags and Log Levels are customizable which means that you can create your own by custom names, colors as well as icons. As a result you can get those in the client application.
