smooth_chucker 0.0.2

An HTTP requests inspector with isolate support for better performance. Inspects HTTP(S) requests/responses in your app with Material 3 UI and advanced search capabilities.

Smooth Chucker

An enhanced HTTP requests inspector for Flutter applications inspired by Chucker Flutter but built with improved performance and modern design.

Smooth Chucker inspects HTTP(S) requests and responses in your Flutter app. It works as an interceptor for popular HTTP client libraries and stores network requests and responses in local storage, providing a Material 3 UI for inspecting and sharing content.

Features

• 🚀 Isolate Support: Background processing to prevent UI freezes while handling network requests
• 🎨 Material 3 Design: Modern, beautiful interface that follows latest design guidelines
• 🔍 Advanced Search: Search by API name, method, status code, and more
• 💾 Multiple Client Support: Works with Dio, Http, and Chopper HTTP clients
• 🖥️ Cross-Platform: Works on Android, iOS, Web, Windows, macOS, and Linux
• 🔔 In-App Notifications: See request status and details as they happen
• 🔄 JSON Tree View: Visualize JSON responses in both tree and raw formats
• 📋 Sharing & Copying: Export as cURL commands, share with colleagues
• ⚙️ Customizable: Themes, notification settings, and more

Getting Started

1. Add the dependency

Add the following to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  smooth_chucker: any

Or run:

flutter pub add smooth_chucker

2. Add Interceptor to your HTTP client

For Dio:

import 'package:dio/dio.dart';
import 'package:smooth_chucker/smooth_chucker.dart';

final dio = Dio();
dio.interceptors.add(SmoothChuckerDioInterceptor());

For Http:

import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;
import 'package:smooth_chucker/smooth_chucker.dart';

final client = SmoothChuckerHttpClient(http.Client());
client.get(Uri.parse('https://api.example.com/data'));

For Chopper:

import 'package:chopper/chopper.dart';
import 'package:smooth_chucker/smooth_chucker.dart';

final client = ChopperClient(
  baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
  interceptors: [
    SmoothChuckerChopperInterceptor(),
  ],
);

3. Add the Navigator Observer

In your MaterialApp:

import 'package:smooth_chucker/smooth_chucker.dart';

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return MaterialApp(
    navigatorObservers: [SmoothChucker.navigatorObserver],
    // ...
  );
}

4. Initialize Notifications (optional but recommended)

In your app's root widget:

@override
void initState() {
  super.initState();
  WidgetsBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((_) {
    SmoothChucker.initialize(Overlay.of(context)!);
  });
}

5. Launch the UI

Add a button to launch the Smooth Chucker UI:

ElevatedButton(
  onPressed: () => SmoothChucker.launch(context),
  child: const Text('Launch Smooth Chucker'),
)

Customization

Enable in Release Mode

By default, Smooth Chucker only runs in debug mode. You can enable it in release mode:

void main() {
  SmoothChucker.showOnRelease = true;
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

Custom Theming

MaterialApp(
  theme: SmoothChucker.getLightTheme(Colors.purple, Colors.amber),
  darkTheme: SmoothChucker.getDarkTheme(Colors.purple, Colors.amber),
  // ...
)

API Name and Search Keywords

When using Dio, you can add custom API names and search keywords:

final dio = Dio();
dio.options.extra['api_name'] = 'User Authentication';
dio.options.extra['search_keywords'] = ['login', 'auth', 'user'];

Advanced Usage

Controlling Notifications

// Disable notifications
SmoothChucker.setNotificationsEnabled(false);

Manually Adding API Responses

import 'package:smooth_chucker/smooth_chucker.dart';

final apiResponse = ApiResponse(
  // ... required parameters
  apiName: 'Custom API Call',
  searchKeywords: ['custom', 'test'],
);

// Use DatabaseService to add the response
final dbService = DatabaseService();
await dbService.addApiResponse(apiResponse);
