flutter_log_handler #

Enterprise-Grade Logging, Crash Tracking & API Monitoring Framework for Flutter

A production-ready logging infrastructure built specifically for modern Flutter applications.

Designed for enterprise apps, production builds, QA testing, white-label solutions, admin dashboards, and scalable client deployments.

🚀 Why flutter_log_handler? #

print() is not production logging.

Modern Flutter apps require:

• Structured logging
• Persistent log storage
• Crash monitoring
• API request/response tracking
• Slow API detection
• Secure data masking
• Log retention management
• Professional internal log viewer
• Shareable diagnostics for QA

flutter_log_handler delivers a complete observability layer inside your Flutter application.

Lightweight. Configurable. Enterprise-ready.

🎯 Ideal For #

• Enterprise Flutter applications
• Production monitoring
• QA builds
• Internal admin tools
• Crash diagnostics
• API performance tracking
• White-label client deployments
• Large-scale apps requiring structured logs

🔥 Core Features #

📌 Structured Logging System #

• Log levels: info, warning, error
• Timestamp tracking
• Route tracking
• API endpoint tracking
• Stack trace support
• Custom tags support

🗂 File-Based Log Persistence #

• Stores logs locally
• Configurable directory name
• Configurable file name
• Secure storage inside app documents directory

🧠 In-Memory Log Store #

• Fast access without file read
• Efficient filtering
• High-performance UI rendering
• Controlled max log limit

💥 Automatic Crash Capture #

Captures:

• Flutter framework errors
• Unhandled runtime exceptions
• Async errors
• Zoned errors

Now supports automatic crash tagging with:

• Device info
• Platform

🌐 Dio API Interceptor #

Automatically logs:

• HTTP method
• API endpoint
• Request body (sanitized)
• Response body (sanitized)
• Status code
• API duration
• Slow APIs
• Error stack traces

Built-in slow API detection threshold.

🔐 Sensitive Data Masking #

Automatically masks sensitive keys such as:

• password
• token
• accessToken
• refreshToken
• authorization
• apiKey

Customizable via configuration.

Prevents leaking sensitive data in production logs.

🖥 Professional Log Viewer UI #

Built-in enterprise log screen with:

• Level filtering
• Expandable stack traces
• Pull-to-refresh
• Share logs
• Clean card-based UI
• Production-friendly design

🧹 Retention & Storage Control #

• Maximum log count control
• Retention days support
• Auto-deletes old logs
• File rotation ready architecture

📦 Installation #

dependencies:
  flutter_log_handler: ^0.0.4

Then run:

flutter pub get

⚙️ Quick Setup #

1️⃣ Initialize Logger in main() #

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();

  LogService.init(
    const LogConfig(
      maxLogs: 1000,
      retentionDays: 7,
      enableConsoleLog: true,
      enableFileLog: true,
      fileName: "app_logs.txt",
      directoryName: "logs",
      sensitiveKeys: ["password", "secretKey"],
    ),
  );

  await LogService.to.getLogs();

  runApp(const MyApp());
}

📝 Logging Anywhere in Your App #

LogService.to.logEvent(
  message: "User logged in",
  level: LogLevel.info,
);

With Stack Trace #

LogService.to.logEvent(
  message: error.toString(),
  level: LogLevel.error,
  stackTrace: stack.toString(),
);

With API Endpoint Tracking #

LogService.to.logEvent(
  message: "API Failed",
  level: LogLevel.error,
  stackTrace: stack.toString(),
  apiEndpoint: "/api/login",
);

💥 Crash Capture Setup #

await CrashWrapper.initialize(
  logService: LogService.to,
);

Automatically captures:

• Flutter framework errors
• Unhandled async errors
• Zone errors
• Device & platform metadata

🌐 API Monitoring with Dio #

final dio = Dio();

dio.interceptors.add(
  ApiInterceptor(LogService.to),
);

Logs:

• Request method
• Endpoint
• Request body (masked)
• Response status
• Duration
• Slow API warnings
• API errors with stack traces

🖥 Open Log Viewer Screen #

Navigator.push(
    context,
    MaterialPageRoute(
    builder: (_) => const MyLogScreen(
            title: "App Logs",
            noLogsMessage: "No logs found",
            dateFormat: "EEE, MMM dd yyyy hh:mm a",
            levelColors: {
            LogLevel.info: Colors.blue,
            LogLevel.warning: Colors.orange,
            LogLevel.error: Colors.red,
            },
            showChipIndicator: true,
            deleteDialogTitle: "Delete Logs",
            deleteDialogMessage: "Are you sure you want to delete all logs?",
            deleteDialogConfirmText: "Delete",
            deleteDialogCancelText: "Cancel",
          ),
    ),
);

Features:

• Filter by log level
• Expand stack traces
• Refresh logs
• Share logs
• Enterprise UI design

📊 Configuration Options #

LogConfig(
  maxLogs: 500,
  retentionDays: 5,
  enableConsoleLog: true,
  enableFileLog: true,
  fileName: "app_logs.txt",
  directoryName: "logs",
  sensitiveKeys: ["password", "secretKey"],
);

📁 Log Storage Location #

ApplicationDocumentsDirectory / directoryName / fileName

Example:

/data/user/0/com.example.app/documents/logs/app_logs.txt

🛡 Architecture Highlights #

• Singleton-based LogService
• No dependency injection required
• Works with GetX or without it
• Easily extendable to cloud upload
