Package Overview

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.

Use cases

  • Debugging production issues
  • Storing historical log data
  • Monitoring app behavior over time
  • Integrating with external log analysis tools
  • Supporting offline debugging

Key features

  • Writes logs to files on disk
  • Configurable log file paths
  • Cross-platform compatibility
  • Structured log formatting
  • Integration with Lumberdash framework

Suitable for

  • Developers needing persistent logging
  • Teams requiring audit trails
  • Applications deployed in environments without console access
  • Long-running background services
  • Apps requiring compliance with log retention policies

Considerations

  • Requires file system permissions on some platforms
  • Potential for large log files if not managed
  • Manual log rotation recommended
  • May impact performance with high-frequency logging
  • Not intended for real-time console output

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:

import 'package:lumberdash/lumberdash.dart';
import 'package:colorize_lumberdash/colorize_lumberdash.dart';

void main() {
  putLumberdashToWork(withClients: [ColorizeLumberdash()]);
  logWarning('Hello Warning');
  logFatal('Hello Fatal!');
  logMessage('Hello Message!');
  logError(Exception('Hello Error'));
}

You could also use multiple clients to log to different sources:

import 'package:lumberdash/lumberdash.dart';
import 'package:colorize_lumberdash/colorize_lumberdash.dart';
import 'package:firebase_lumberdash/firebase_lumberdash.dart';

void main() {
  putLumberdashToWork(withClients: [
    ColorizeLumberdash(),
    FirebaseLumberdash(
      firebaseAnalyticsClient: FirebaseAnalytics(),
      environment: 'development',
      releaseVersion: '1.0.0',
    ),
  ]);
  logWarning('Hello Warning');
  logFatal('Hello Fatal!');
  logMessage('Hello Message!');
  logError(Exception('Hello Error'));
}
