tecta_inspector 0.0.2

A professional networking, logging, and debugging tool for Flutter applications.

Tecta Inspector

A powerful, developer-friendly in-app debugging and logging tool for Flutter applications. It automatically intercepts network requests, captures console logs, monitors database operations, tracks page navigation, and auto-detects unhandled application errors—all accessible via a beautiful, reactive, floating in-app dashboard.

Features

• 🎯 Floating Inspector Button: Access the dashboard anytime from anywhere. Fully reactive and automatically hides itself when the dashboard is open.
• 🎨 Sleek Light/Dark Mode: A beautiful, modern interface with responsive styles and dynamic dark/light mode toggle.
• 🌐 Network Request Interception: Automatically tracks API requests, status codes, request/response headers, parameters, and bodies using TectaHttp and custom interceptors.
• 📦 Categorized Logs Dashboard: Filters log entries into 5 distinct categories:
  • All: Complete unified stream of all captured logs.
  • Print: Standard console prints and custom manual log messages.
  • Network: HTTP requests, responses, and API errors.
  • Database: SQL queries and custom database transactions.
  • Navigator: Route transitions (PUSH, POP, REPLACE) with arguments.
• 🛡️ Auto-Catch Exceptions: Automatically intercepts unhandled Flutter framework errors and asynchronous exceptions with stack traces.
• 📋 Copy to Clipboard with Custom Toast: Effortlessly copy log details or stack traces to the clipboard with an overlay notification.
• 🧩 Zero Dependencies on BLoC: Agnostic state management designed to fit into any codebase cleanly.

Installation

Add tecta_inspector to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  tecta_inspector:
    path: ../tecta-api # Use standard pub.dev dependency versioning once published

---

Quick Start

1. Initialize Tecta Inspector

Call TectaInspector.initialize in your main() method before running the app. You can conditionally enable or disable it based on whether it is running in production.

void main() {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();

  // Initialize the inspector
  TectaInspector.initialize(enabled: true);

  runApp(const MyApp());
}

2. Configure MaterialApp & Overlay

Configure MaterialApp with the inspector's navigatorKey, add the observer to track routes, and wrap the widget tree inside TectaInspectorOverlay.

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Tecta Inspector Example',
      navigatorKey: TectaInspector.navigatorKey, // Required for pushing the dashboard
      navigatorObservers: [
        TectaInspectorNavigatorObserver(), // Logs route transitions automatically
      ],
      builder: (context, child) {
        return TectaInspectorOverlay(
          child: child ?? const SizedBox(), // Renders the floating debugger button
        );
      },
      home: const HomeScreen(),
    );
  }
}

Usage Guide

Network Logging

Use TectaHttp as your main network client. It automatically integrates the TectaInspectorInterceptor under the hood.

final http = TectaHttp(baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com');

// Successful and failed HTTP calls are automatically logged to the Network tab!
final response = await http.call('/posts', method: MethodRequest.GET);

Manual Console Logs

Log regular strings or debug information directly to the Print tab:

TectaInspector.log("User successfully clicked standard action button.");

Custom Error Logging

Log manual exceptions or try-catch blocks:

try {
  // run some code
} catch (e, stack) {
  TectaInspector.logError("Failed to complete transaction", error: e, stackTrace: stack);
}

Database Logging

Log SQL queries or custom operations directly to the Database tab:

TectaInspector.logDatabase(
  query: "SELECT * FROM users WHERE status = 'active';",
  result: "Found 12 active users",
);

---

Additional Information

• Auto-catch Exceptions: Unhandled crashes or null-pointer exceptions will automatically pop up in the dashboard with their stack traces, highlighting issues in red.
• Copying Logs: Tap the "Copy Log" button inside any expanded log entry to instantly copy the raw content. A sleek overlay Toast will confirm the action.
