ispectify_http 5.0.0-dev34

http_interceptor integration for ISpect with correlated HTTP request, response, error, timing, and redacted payload logs.

ispectify_http is an http_interceptor interceptor for the ISpect toolkit. It captures requests made through the package:http client, pairs them into transactions, and redacts sensitive data before logging.

• Request / response / error capture with headers, body, status, and duration.
• Redaction of auth headers, tokens, PII, and financial data (on by default).
• Compatible with every InterceptedClient from http_interceptor.

Install

dependencies:
  http: ^1.0.0
  http_interceptor: ^2.0.0
  ispectify: ^5.0.0-dev34
  ispectify_http: ^5.0.0-dev34

Quick start

import 'package:http_interceptor/http_interceptor.dart' as http_interceptor;
import 'package:ispect/ispect.dart';
import 'package:ispectify_http/ispectify_http.dart';

final client = http_interceptor.InterceptedClient.build(interceptors: []);

ISpect.run(
  () => runApp(const MyApp()),
  logger: logger,
  onInit: () {
    client.interceptors.add(
      ISpectHttpInterceptor(
        logger: logger,
        settings: const ISpectHttpInterceptorSettings(
          printRequestHeaders: true,
          printResponseHeaders: true,
        ),
      ),
    );
  },
);

Settings

ISpectHttpInterceptorSettings mirrors the Dio variant — headers / body capture toggles, with enableRedaction: true by default.

const settings = ISpectHttpInterceptorSettings(
  printRequestHeaders: true,
  printRequestData: true,
  printResponseHeaders: false,
  printResponseData: true,
  enableRedaction: true,
);

Preset factories and a builder are available too — see the source of ISpectHttpInterceptorSettingsBuilder for development(), staging(), production() presets.

Data redaction

Sensitive data is automatically masked before it reaches logs or observers. Redaction is enabled by default — built-in rules cover auth headers, tokens, passwords, API keys, cookies, PII (SSN, passport, driver's license), financial data (credit cards, IBAN), phone numbers, and more.

Redaction is a safety layer, not a substitute for data minimization. Prefer disabling body/header capture when payload contents are not needed, and add project-specific keys for business identifiers that only your application understands.

Custom keys and patterns

import 'package:ispectify/ispectify.dart';

final redactor = RedactionService(
  sensitiveKeys: {
    ...defaultSensitiveKeys,
    'x-custom-secret',
    'internal_token',
  },
  sensitiveKeyPatterns: [
    RegExp(r'my_app_secret_\w+', caseSensitive: false),
  ],
  // Keys where the value is replaced entirely (not edge-masked).
  fullyMaskedKeys: {'filename'},
  placeholder: '***',
  visibleEdgeLength: 3,
  redactBinary: true,
  redactBase64: true,
);

Ignoring defaults

final redactor = RedactionService(
  // e.g., ?mobile=true is a platform flag, not a phone number.
  ignoredKeys: {'mobile', 'platform_token'},
  ignoredValues: {'<test-token>', 'public-api-key'},
);

Disabling

Each interceptor accepts enableRedaction: false on its settings object. See the per-package README for the exact settings type.

Only disable redaction in isolated local or deterministic test environments. Exported sessions and observer events should be treated as sensitive artifacts even when redaction is enabled.

Custom redactor:

ISpectHttpInterceptor(
  logger: logger,
  redactor: RedactionService(
    sensitiveKeys: {...defaultSensitiveKeys, 'x-internal-token'},
  ),
);

The ISpect toolkit

ISpect is a modular monorepo. Install only what your project needs — each package works independently.

Package	What it does
ispect	Flutter UI — debug panel, log viewer, navigation observer, inspector integration
ispect_layout	Visual layout inspector — sizes, constraints, decorations, compare mode, color picker
ispectify	Pure-Dart logging core — typed log entries, filtering, tracing, observers
ispectify_dio	Dio HTTP interceptor with automatic redaction
ispectify_http	http package interceptor with automatic redaction
ispectify_ws	WebSocket traffic capture with automatic redaction
ispectify_db	Database operation tracing (SQL, ORM, KV stores)
ispectify_bloc	BLoC event / state / transition observer
