Package Overview

Package selection guidance compiled from public package information, community data, and project usage.

The 'l' package is a cross-platform logging library for Flutter that provides a simple API for logging messages across Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux. It supports output manipulation via native and web consoles, with built-in ASCII colorization to enhance log readability. Ideal for debugging and monitoring application behavior in real time, it integrates seamlessly into development workflows without adding complexity. The library is lightweight and designed for developers who need consistent, colorful, and platform-agnostic logging.

Use cases

  • Real-time debugging across platforms
  • Colorized console output for better log visibility
  • Simple integration in development and testing
  • Cross-platform logging consistency
  • Monitoring app behavior during development
  • Debugging web and mobile apps simultaneously

Key features

  • Simple and intuitive API
  • ASCII colorized output
  • Supports all major Flutter platforms
  • Native and web console compatibility
  • Lightweight and fast
  • Easy setup with flutter pub add

Suitable for

  • Flutter developers seeking easy logging
  • Teams building multi-platform apps
  • Developers focused on debugging efficiency
  • Projects requiring colorful console output
  • Those wanting minimal boilerplate logging
  • Frontend and backend debug logging

Considerations

  • Not intended for production logging
  • Color output may not render in all environments
  • Limited configuration options
  • Best suited for development use
  • May require additional filtering in large apps
  • Depends on console availability

Print handling and customizing

Logger supports fine-tuning with the second argument LogOptions in a capture method. Also, you can handle print and output with l on some function or in a whole app with this simple syntax:

import 'package:l/l.dart';

void main() => l.capture(
      someFunction,
      const LogOptions(
        handlePrint: true,
        printColors: true,
        outputInRelease: false,
        messageFormatting: _messageFormatting,
      ),
    );

Future<void> someFunction() async {
  print('Hello');
  await Future<void>.delayed(const Duration(milliseconds: 150));
  l.d('world');
  await Future<void>.delayed(const Duration(milliseconds: 150));
  l.e('!!!');
}

Object _messageFormatting(Object message, LogLevel logLevel, DateTime now) =>
    '${now.hour}:${now.minute.toString().padLeft(2, '0')} $message';

Handling errors

Flutter
final sourceFlutterError = FlutterError.onError;
FlutterError.onError = (details) {
  l.w(details.exceptionAsString(), details.stack);
  sourceFlutterError?.call(details);
};
Crashlytics
l.where((msg) => msg.level.maybeWhen(
      error: () => true,
      warning: () => true,
      orElse: () => false,
    ))
  .map<String>((msg) => msg.message.toString())
  .listen(FirebaseCrashlytics.instance.log);
Zoned Errors
runZonedGuarded(someFunction, l.e);
Handling uncaught errors
Isolate.current
       ..setErrorsFatal(false)
       ..addErrorListener(
         RawReceivePort(
           (List<dynamic> pair) => // ignore: avoid_types_on_closure_parameters
               l.e(pair.first as Object),
         ).sendPort,
       );

Limitations

  • When there is no direct access to the terminal, it works through print.
  • !!! PLEASE, DO NOT LOG SENSITIVE INFORMATION !!!
