Features

• Generate cURL commands for HTTP requests.
• Supports adding HTTP headers, body data (JSON or plain text), and query parameters.
• Optionally logs the generated cURL command using Flutter's debugPrint.
• Easy to integrate with existing Flutter projects.

Installation

To use this package, add the following to your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  log_curl_request:
    path: <path_to_your_package> # Replace with the package path

Then, run:

flutter pub get

Usage

Import the package into your Dart file:

import 'package:log_curl_request/log_curl_request.dart';

Generate a cURL command:

String curlCommand = LogCurlRequest.create(
  "POST",
  "https://api.example.com/resource",
  parameters: {"key": "value"},
  data: {"field": "value"},
  headers: {"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"},
  showDebugPrint: true,
);

This will generate and optionally log a cURL command like:

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" --data '{"field":"value"}' "https://api.example.com/resource?key=value"

Example

Here’s an example of using the package to log a cURL command:

void main() {
  String curlCommand = LogCurlRequest.create(
    "GET",
    "https://api.example.com/users",
    parameters: {"page": "1", "limit": "10"},
    headers: {"Content-Type": "application/json"},
    showDebugPrint: true,
  );

  print(curlCommand);
}

Expected Output (logged via debugPrint):

cURL command: 
curl -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" "https://api.example.com/users?page=1&limit=10"

Configuration
