Package selection guidance compiled from public package information, community data, and project usage.
FileLumberdash is a Flutter/Dart package designed to redirect application logs to the file system, enabling persistent and structured logging for debugging and monitoring. It integrates seamlessly with the Lumberdash logging framework, allowing developers to capture detailed log entries across multiple platforms including Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux. Logs are saved in configurable file paths, making it easier to analyze app behavior post-deployment or during development. Ideal for long-running applications where real-time console output isn't sufficient.

lumberdash
Do you need logs? Lumberdash is the answer! With a simple but powerful logging API, Lumberdash is the easiest way to record logs.
And if that is not enough, you can extend its API and create your own custom plugins for your own logging needs.
How it works
Simply putLumberdashToWork with your preferred LumberdashClient, and start logging!
You can get the best of Lumberdash by using plugins! For example, by using the colorize_lumberdash, you could print logs in stdout with colors:
Add lumberdash to your dependencies, and extend the LumberdashClient. That easy!
You can see the SimpleClient in this package as inspiration.
