dependencies:
  colored_log: ^1.0.0

Run dart pub get or flutter pub get to install the package.

Usage

name is optional but very helpful, we can name each log and know exactly which log is triggered.

Basic Logging

import 'package:colored_log/colored_log.dart';

void main() {
  // Default log
  ColoredLog("This is a simple log message.");
}

Customizing Logs

You can customize the color, background, and style of your logs.

import 'package:colored_log/colored_log.dart';

void main() {
  // Red-colored text
  // name is optional
  ColoredLog.red(
    "This is a red log message.",
    name: 'Red Log',
  );

  // Custom background color
  ColoredLog.black(
    "This log has a green background.",
    background: LogColor.green,
  );

  // Bold yellow text
  ColoredLog.yellow(
    "This log is bold and yellow.",
    style: LogStyle.bold,
  );

  // Italicized
  ColoredLog(
    "This log is italicized and underlined.",
    style: LogStyle.italicized,
  );

  // Blinking text
  ColoredLog.red(
    "This is a blinking log!",
    style: LogStyle.blinkSlow,
  );
}

Advanced Styling

Combine multiple styles to create unique logs that stand out.

void main() {
  // Combine colors, background, and styles
  ColoredLog("This is a bold log with blue text and yellow background.",
    color: LogColor.blue,
    backgroundColor: LogColor.yellow,
    style: LogStyle.bold,
    );
}

Config

We can set default log color and logType as follow

//We can set default log color when we use constructor
ColoredLog.setDefaultColor=LogColor.yellow;

//We can set logType as with respective functionality
//enum LogType { print, logs, hideLogs }
//We need to make sure to run it on start
ColoredLog.setLogType=LogType.print;

Notes

This package is designed to work best in environments that support ANSI escape codes (e.g., most terminal/console applications). Blinking logs may not be supported in all terminal environments. The package is designed for simplicity but offers plenty of flexibility for advanced use cases.
