flutwire_http 1.0.0

A package:http client for Flutwire. It records the calls that the dart:io capture cannot see, such as every call on the web.

flutwire_http

A package:http client for Flutwire, the network inspector that opens from the notification shade.

Most apps do not need it. Flutwire.init already records every call made through dart:io, and that includes package:http on mobile and desktop. Use this package on the web, where there is no dart:io, and with clients that have a transport of their own, such as cronet_http or cupertino_http.

Usage

flutter pub add flutwire_http

final client = FlutwireClient(http.Client());

Chopper uses an http client, so ChopperClient(client: FlutwireClient(http.Client())) covers it too.

Where the dart:io capture is installed, which is the default outside the web, the client stands down: the capture already sees the call with the bytes that went over the wire, and recording it twice would only fill the list. A client whose transport does not use dart:io needs FlutwireClient(inner, force: true), because the capture cannot see it. If the client stands down for a call the capture never saw, the inspector names the client above the list.

What it records

The request body of a Request and the response as it streams past, untouched and at the same pace. A MultipartRequest is described by its fields and files rather than reproduced byte for byte, because its body can be read only once, by the client that sends it.
