Talker

Get Started

Follow these steps to the coolest experience in error handling

Add dependency

dependencies:
  talker: ^5.1.20

Easy to use

You can use Talker instance everywhere in your app
Simple and concise syntax will help you with this

  import 'package:talker/talker.dart';

  final talker = Talker();

  /// Just logs
  talker.warning('The pizza is over 😥');
  talker.debug('Thinking about order new one 🤔');

  // Handling Exception's and Error's
  try {
    throw Exception('The restaurant is closed ❌');
  } catch (e, st) {
    talker.handle(e, st);
  }

  /// Just logs
  talker.info('Ordering from other restaurant...');
  talker.info('Payment started...');
  talker.good('Payment completed. Waiting for pizza 🍕');

More examples you can get there

⚙️ Customization

Configure the error handler and logger for yourself

final talker = Talker(
    settings: const TalkerSettings(
      /// You can enable/disable all talker processes with this field
      enabled: true,
      /// You can enable/disable saving logs data in history
      useHistory: true,
      /// Length of history that saving logs data
      maxHistoryItems: 100,
      /// You can enable/disable console logs
      useConsoleLogs: true,
    ),
    /// Setup your implementation of logger
    logger: TalkerLogger(),
    ///etc...
  );

More examples you can get here

Custom logs

With Talker you can create your custom log message types.
And you have full customization control over them!

class YourCustomLog extends TalkerLog { 
    YourCustomLog(String super.message); 

    /// Log title 
    static get getTitle => 'Custom';

    /// Log key 
    static get getKey => 'custom_log_key';

    /// Log color 
    static get getPen => AnsiPen()..yellow(); 

    /// The following overrides are required because the base class expects instance getters,
    /// but we use static getters to allow for easy customization and reuse of colors, titles, and keys.
    /// This approach works around limitations in the base class API, which does not support passing custom values
    /// directly to the constructor or as parameters, so we override the instance getters to return the static values.
    @override 
    String get title => getTitle; 

    @override 
    String get key => getKey; 

    @override 
    AnsiPen get pen => getPen; 
 } 

final talker = Talker();
talker.logCustom(YourCustomLog('Something like your own service message'));

Change log colors

Starting from version 4.0.0, you have the ability to fully customize all logs colors. You can set your own color for any type of logs. For example, you can choose red for HTTP responses and green for errors—whatever suits your preference 😁

The map is now structured as {String: AnsiPen}.

String Key

The String key serves as an identifier for a specific log type (e.g., HTTP, error, info, etc.).

• Default log types are accessible via the key field in the TalkerLogType enum.
• Developers can also define custom log pen by providing their own string keys, like 'custom_log_key'.

final talker = Talker(
  settings: TalkerSettings(
    colors: {
      // Colors for default log types can be defined with AnsiPen
      TalkerLogType.httpResponse.key: AnsiPen()..red(),
      TalkerLogType.error.key: AnsiPen()..green(),
      TalkerLogType.info.key: AnsiPen()..blue(),

      // Custom Logs can be defined

      // ... from the custom log's key name
      'custom_log_key': AnsiPen()..yellow(),

      // ... or from the variable
      YourCustomLog.getKey: AnsiPen()..yellow(),

      // ... or using the variable and the previously defined custom color for conformity
      YourCustomLog.getKey: YourCustomLog.getPen
    },
  ),
);

Talker have default color scheme. You can check it in TalkerSettings class

Change log titles

Starting from version 4.0.0, you have the ability to fully customize all logs titles. You can set your own title for any type of logs.

The map is now structured as {String: AnsiPen}.

String Key

The String key serves as an identifier for a specific log type (e.g., HTTP, error, info, etc.).

• Default log types are accessible via the getKey field in the TalkerLogType enum.
• Developers can also define custom log title by providing their own string keys, like 'custom_log_key'.

final talker = Talker(
  settings: TalkerSettings(
    titles: {
      // Titles for default log types can be defined with strings
      TalkerLogType.exception.key: 'Whatever you want',
      TalkerLogType.error.key: 'E',
      TalkerLogType.info.key: 'i',

      // Custom Logs can be defined

      // ... from the custom log's key name
      'custom_log_key': "new custom title!",

      // ... or from the variable
      YourCustomLog.getKey: "new custom title!",

      // ... or using the variable and the previously defined custom title for conformity
      YourCustomLog.getKey: YourCustomLog.getTitle      
    },
  ),
);

Talker have default titles scheme. You can check it in TalkerSettings class

TalkerObserver

TalkerObserver is a mechanism that allows observing what is happening inside Talker from the outside.

import 'package:talker/talker.dart';

class ExampleTalkerObserver extends TalkerObserver {
  ExampleTalkerObserver();

  @override
  void onError(TalkerError err) {
    /// Send data to your error tracking system like Sentry or backend
    super.onError(err);
  }

  @override
  void onException(TalkerException exception) {
    /// Send Exception to your error tracking system like Sentry or backend
    super.onException(exception);
  }

  @override
  void onLog(TalkerDataInterface log) {
    /// Send log message to Grafana or backend
    super.onLog(log);
  }
}

final observer = ExampleTalkerObserver();
final talker = Talker(observer: observer);

You can use it to transmit data about logs to external sources such as Crashlytics, Sentry, Grafana, or your own analytics service, etc.

Talker Flutter

Get Started Flutter

Talker Flutter is an extension for the Dart Talker package that adds extra functionality to make it easier for you to handle logs, errors, and exceptions in your Flutter applications.

Add dependency

dependencies:
  talker_flutter: ^5.1.20

Setup

import 'package:talker_flutter/talker_flutter.dart';

final talker = TalkerFlutter.init();

// Handle exceptions and errors
try {
  // your code...
} catch (e, st) {
    talker.handle(e, st, 'Exception with');
}

// Log your app info
talker.info('App is started');
talker.critical('❌ Houston, we have a problem!');
talker.error('🚨 The service is not available');

❗️ Log messages integrity

Most of flutter logging packages either cut messages in the console, or cant dope colored messages in the iOS console. But Talker is not one of them...

Talker uses the optimal method for logging depending on the Operating system on which it runs

But to do this, you need to use the initialization given in the example. Only with TalkerFlutter.init()

As result of this method you will get the same instance of Talker as when creating it through the Talker() constructor but with logging default initialization

TalkerScreen

Often you need to check what happening in the application when there is no console at hand.
There is a TalkerScreen widget from talker_flutter package for this situations.

For better understanding how it works check Web Demo page

TalkerScreen	TalkerFilter	TalkerActions	TalkerSettings

Easy to use

You can use TalkerScreen everywhere in your app
At Screen, BottomSheet, ModalDialog, etc...

import 'package:talker_flutter/talker_flutter.dart';

final talker = TalkerFlutter.init();

Navigator.of(context).push(
  MaterialPageRoute(
    builder: (context) => TalkerScreen(talker: talker),
  )
);

See more in TalkerScreen usage example

Customization

Starting from version 4.0.0, you have the ability to fully customize your TalkerScreen display. You can set your own color for any type of logs. For example, you can choose red for HTTP responses and green for errors—whatever suits your preference 😁

How to set custom colors ?

To set your custom colors, you need to pass a TalkerScreenTheme object to the TalkerScreen constructor, with a Map containing the desired colors.

The Map is structured as {log type: color}. TalkerLogType is an identifier for a specific log type (e.g., HTTP, error, info, etc.), and each log type in Talker has its own field in the enum.

import 'package:talker_flutter/talker_flutter.dart';

final talker = TalkerFlutter.init();

TalkerScreen(
  talker: talker,
  theme: const TalkerScreenTheme(
    logColors: {

      // Default log type colors can be overridden from the color object
      TalkerLogType.httpResponse.key: Color(0xFF26FF3C),
      // ... or from flutter material colors
      TalkerLogType.error.key: Colors.redAccent,
      // ... or from ARGB values
      TalkerLogType.info.key: Color.fromARGB(255, 0, 255, 247),

      // Custom logs can override their terminal colors 
      
      // ... using the key string
      'custom_log_key': Colors.green,
      
      // ... or from the variable
      YourCustomLog.getKey: Colors.green,

      // ... but they cannot use the previously defined color from the custom log object,
      // ... because flutter doesn't display ansi colors in widgets.
      // ... However, you can use material colors, the color object, or ARGB values for them
      YourCustomLog.getKey: Color(0xFF26FF3C)
    },
  )
)

TalkerScreenTheme

You can set custom backagroud, card and text colors for TalkerScreen with TalkerScreenTheme

TalkerScreenTheme(
  cardColor: Colors.grey[700]!,
  backgroundColor: Colors.grey[800]!,
  textColor: Colors.white,
  logColors: {
    /// Your logs colors...
  },
)

TalkerRouteObserver

Observer for a navigator.
If you want to keep a record of page transitions in your application, you've found what you're looking for.

You can use TalkerRouteObserver with any routing package
From auto_route to basic Flutter Navigator

Navigator

final talker = Talker();

MaterialApp(
  navigatorObservers: [
    TalkerRouteObserver(talker),
  ],
)

auto_route

final talker = Talker();

MaterialApp.router(
  routerDelegate: AutoRouterDelegate(
    appRouter,
    navigatorObservers: () => [
      TalkerRouteObserver(talker),
    ],
  ),
),

auto_route v7

final talker = Talker();

MaterialApp.router(
  routerConfig: _appRouter.config(
    navigatorObservers: () => [
      TalkerRouteObserver(talker),
    ],
  ),
),

go_router

final talker = Talker();

GoRouter(
  observers: [TalkerRouteObserver(talker)],
)

TalkerMonitor

If you want to check the status of your application in a short time
TalkerMonitor will be the best solution for you

Monitor is a filtered quick information about http requests, exceptions, errors, warnings, etc... count

You will find Monitor at the TalkerScreen page

For better understanding how it works check Web Demo page

TalkerWrapper

In addition talker_flutter is able to show default and custom error messages and another status messages via TalkerWrapper

import 'package:talker_flutter/talker_flutter.dart';

final talker = TalkerFlutter.init();

TalkerWrapper(
  talker: talker,
  options: const TalkerWrapperOptions(
    enableErrorAlerts: true,
  ),
  child: /// Application or the screen where you need to show messages
),

More Features And Examples

Custom UI error messages

TalkerWrapper usage example

ShopApp example

See full application example with BLoC and navigation here

The talker_flutter package have a lot of another widgets like TalkerBuilder, TalkerListener, etc. You can find all of them in code documentation.

Integrations

In addition to the basic functionality, talker was conceived as a tool for creating lightweight loggers for the main activities of your application

You can use ready out of the box packages like talker_dio_logger, talker_bloc_logger and talker_riverpod_logger or create your own packages.

Talker Dio Logger

Lightweight, simple and pretty solution for logging if your app use dio as http-client

This is how the logs of your http requests will look in the console

Getting started

Follow these steps to use this package

Add dependency

dependencies:
  talker_dio_logger: ^5.1.20

Usage

Just add TalkerDioLogger to your dio instance and it will work

final dio = Dio();
dio.interceptors.add(
    TalkerDioLogger(
        settings: const TalkerDioLoggerSettings(
          printRequestHeaders: true,
          printResponseHeaders: true,
          printResponseMessage: true,
        ),
    ),
);

Customization

To provide hight usage exp here are a lot of settings and customization fields in TalkerDioLoggerSettings. You can setup all wat you want. For example:

Off/on http request or reposnse logs

You can toggle reponse / request printing and headers including

final dio = Dio();
dio.interceptors.add(
    TalkerDioLogger(
        settings: const TalkerDioLoggerSettings(
          // All http responses enabled for console logging
          printResponseData: true,
          // All http requests disabled for console logging
          printRequestData: false,
          // Reposnse logs including http - headers
          printResponseHeaders: true,
          // Request logs without http - headersa
          printRequestHeaders: false,
        ),
    ),
);

Change http logs colors

Setup your custom http-log colors. You can set color for requests, responses and errors in TalkerDioLoggerSettings

TalkerDioLoggerSettings(
  // Blue http requests logs in console
  requestPen: AnsiPen()..blue(),
  // Green http responses logs in console
  responsePen: AnsiPen()..green(),
  // Error http logs in console
  errorPen: AnsiPen()..red(),
);

Filter http logs

For example if your app has a private functionality and you don't need to store this functionality logs in talker - you can use filters

TalkerDioLoggerSettings(
  // All http request without "/secure" in path will be printed in console 
  requestFilter: (RequestOptions options) => !options.path.contains('/secure'),
  // All http responses with status codes different than 301 will be printed in console 
  responseFilter: (response) => response.statusCode != 301,
)

Using with Talker

You can add your talker instance for TalkerDioLogger if your app already uses Talker. In this case, all logs and errors will fall into your unified tracking system

final talker = Talker();
final dio = Dio();
dio.interceptors.add(TalkerDioLogger(talker: talker));

Talker BLoC Logger

Lightweight, simple and pretty solution for logging if your app use BLoC as state management

This is how the logs of your BLoC's event calling and state emits will look in the console

Getting started

Follow these steps to use this package

Bloc.observer = TalkerBlocObserver(
    settings: TalkerBlocLoggerSettings(
      // If you want log only AuthBloc transitions
      transitionFilter: (bloc, transition) =>
          bloc.runtimeType.toString() == 'AuthBloc',
      // If you want log only AuthBloc events
      eventFilter: (bloc, event) => bloc.runtimeType.toString() == 'AuthBloc',
    ),
  );

Using with Talker!

Talker Chopper Logger

A lightweight, straightforward, and visually appealing logging solution for apps that use Chopper as an HTTP client.

This is how the logs of your http requests will look in the console

Getting Started

Follow these steps to use this package

Add dependency

dependencies:
  talker_chopper_logger: ^5.1.20

Usage

Simply include the TalkerChopperLogger in your Chopper client’s interceptors list to enable it.

final client = ChopperClient(
  /// ... other chopper settings
  interceptors: [
    TalkerChopperLogger(
      settings: const TalkerChopperLoggerSettings(
        printRequestHeaders: true,
        printResponseHeaders: true,
        printResponseMessage: true,
      ),
    ),
  ],
);

Customization

To offer extensive functionality, TalkerChopperLoggerSettings provides numerous configuration settings and customization options. You can adjust everything to suit your needs. For example:

Enable or disable HTTP request or response logs

You can toggle response / request printing and headers including

final client = ChopperClient(
  /// ... other chopper settings
  interceptors: [
    TalkerChopperLogger(
      talker: _talker,
      settings: const TalkerChopperLoggerSettings(
        // All HTTP responses enabled for console logging
        printResponseData: true,
        // All HTTP requests disabled for console logging
        printRequestData: false,
        // Response logs including HTTP - headers
        printResponseHeaders: true,
        // Request logs without HTTP - headers
        printRequestHeaders: false,
      ),
    ),
  ],
);

Print HTTP request curl command

You can print the curl command for the HTTP request in the console. This is useful for debugging and testing purposes.

final client = ChopperClient(
  /// ... other chopper settings
  interceptors: [
    TalkerChopperLogger(
      talker: _talker,
      settings: const TalkerChopperLoggerSettings(
        // Print curl command for HTTP request
        printRequestCurl: true,
      ),
    ),
  ],
);

Hiding sensitive HTTP request headers

You can hide sensitive HTTP request headers such as Authorization or Cookie in the console logs. This is useful for security purposes.

final client = ChopperClient(
  /// ... other chopper settings
  interceptors: [
    TalkerChopperLogger(
      talker: _talker,
      settings: const TalkerChopperLoggerSettings(
        printRequestHeaders: true,
        printResponseHeaders: true,
        // Hide sensitive HTTP request headers
        hiddenHeaders: {
          'authorization',
          'cookie',
        },
      ),
    ),
  ],
);

Change HTTP logs colors

Customize your HTTP log colors by defining specific colors for requests, responses, and errors in TalkerChopperLoggerSettings

TalkerChopperLoggerSettings(
  // Blue HTTP requests logs in console
  requestPen: AnsiPen()..blue(),
  // Green HTTP responses logs in console
  responsePen: AnsiPen()..green(),
  // Error HTTP logs in console
  errorPen: AnsiPen()..red(),
);

Filter HTTP logs

For instance, if your app includes private functionality that you prefer not to log with talker, you can apply filters.

TalkerChopperLoggerSettings(
  // All http request without "/secure" in path will be printed in console 
  requestFilter: (Request request) => !request.url.path.contains('/secure'),
  // All http responses with status codes different than 301 will be printed in console 
  responseFilter: (Response response) => response.statusCode != 301,
)

Using with existing Talker instance

If your application already uses Talker, simply inject your Talker instance into TalkerChopperLogger so that all logs and errors integrate into your centralized tracking system.

final talker = Talker();
final client = ChopperClient(
  /// ... other chopper settings
  interceptors: [
    TalkerChopperLogger(
      talker: talker,
      settings: const TalkerChopperLoggerSettings(
        printRequestHeaders: true,
        printResponseHeaders: true,
        printResponseMessage: true,
      ),
    ),
  ],
);

  talker_grpc_logger: ^5.1.20

Usage

Create an interceptor and instrument your RPC client:

import 'package:grpc/grpc.dart';
import 'package:talker_grpc_logger/talker_grpc_logger.dart';

void main() {
  late final channel = GrpcOrGrpcWebClientChannel.toSingleEndpoint(
      host: 'localhost',
      port: 50051,
  );

  // Generate your RPC client as usual, and use the interceptor to log the requests and responses.
  late final rpcClient = YourRPCClient(channel, interceptors: [
    TalkerGrpcLogger()
  ]);
}

Using with Talker

Very similar to the section above, just pass a Talker instance to the interceptor:

import 'package:grpc/grpc.dart';
import 'package:talker_flutter/talker_flutter.dart';
import 'package:talker_grpc_logger/talker_grpc_logger.dart';

void main() {
  // Not mandatory, but useful to see the grpc logs in the Talker screen
  final talker = TalkerFlutter.init();

  // Define port and host as you see fit
  var host = 'localhost';
  var port = 50051;

  // transportSecure needs to be true when talking to a server through TLS.
  // This can be disabled for local development.
  // GrpcOrGrpcWebClientChannel is a channel type compatible with web and native. There
  // are other channel types available for each platform.
  late final channel = GrpcOrGrpcWebClientChannel.toSingleEndpoint(
      host: host,
      port: port,
      transportSecure: host == 'localhost' ? false : true);


  final List<ClientInterceptor> interceptors = [
    TalkerGrpcLogger(talker: talker)
  ];

  // Generate your RPC client as usual, and use the interceptor to log the requests and responses.
  late final rpcClient = YourRPCClient(channel, interceptors: interceptors);
}

Token obfuscation

TalkerGrpcLogger will obfuscate bearer tokens by default. It'll look at the metadata of the request and obfuscate the authorization header. It'll look like Bearer [obfuscated] in the logs. It is highly recommended to keep this option enabled. If you want to disable it, you can pass obfuscateToken: false:

TalkerGrpcLogger(talker: talker, obfuscateToken: true)

Crashlytics integration

If you add CrashlyticsTalkerObserver to your application, you will receive notifications about all application errors in the Crashlytics dashboard.

Additionally, you can configure it to send only specific errors to Crashlytics from within TalkerObserver.

import 'package:firebase_crashlytics/firebase_crashlytics.dart';
import 'package:talker/talker.dart';

class CrashlyticsTalkerObserver extends TalkerObserver {
  CrashlyticsTalkerObserver();

  @override
  void onError(err) {
      FirebaseCrashlytics.instance.recordError(
        err.error,
        err.stackTrace,
        reason: err.message,
      );
  }

  @override
  void onException(err) {
      FirebaseCrashlytics.instance.recordError(
        err.exception,
        err.stackTrace,
        reason: err.message,
      );
  }
}

final crashlyticsTalkerObserver = CrashlyticsTalkerObserver();
final talker = Talker(observer: crashlyticsTalkerObserver);
