Niddler network inspector for dart and flutter. Download the niddler intellij plugin here

Usage

A simple usage example:

For a more complete example, see example/main.dart.

import'package:niddler_dart/niddler_dart.dart';
import'package:stack_trace/stack_trace.dart';
main() async {
awaitChain.capture(() async { //For better flutter stack traces, wrap main code in this Chain.capture from package stack_tracefinal niddlerBuilder =NiddlerBuilder()
..bundleId ='com.test.test'
..serverInfo =NiddlerServerInfo('Some descriptive name', 'Some description', 'dart')
..includeStackTrace =true//Capture request stack traces. Wrap all content inside main with `Chain.capture`
..port =0; //0 to have niddler pick it's own port. Automatic discovery will make this visiblefinal niddler = niddlerBuilder.build();
await niddler.start();
//Or if you want to use the debugger and wait for a connectionawait niddler.start(waitForDebugger:true);
niddler.install();
//Optionally wait for debugger to connect at a later time. The niddler.start(waitForDebugger: ...) is preferredawait niddler.debugger.waitForConnection();
//Make http requests ...await niddler.stop();
});
}

Debugging support

Since 0.7.0 basic debugging support has been added to the library. Use the plugin to connect with a debugger connection. When so required, you can wait for the debugger to be connected before continuing with the application, to ensure the debugger is attached before any requests are made by using (preferred) await niddler.start(waitForDebugger: true); or later await niddler.debugger.waitForConnection();

Not that using the debugger has a more noticeable performance impact

Request site stack traces

Since 0.6.0, niddler supports capturing stack traces at request site across async boundaries. This can have a (very) small performance impact.

To enable, configure niddler to include stack traces by setting includeStackTrace = true in the builder, optionally configuring which stack frames to throw out via sanitizer = implementation of StackTraceSanitizer (defaults to a reasonable sanitizer for dart/flutter/dio).

To capture stack traces across async blocks, wrap ALL code inside your main with Chain.capture from package:stack_trace

Viewing stack traces for dart code is supported in the intellij plugin since version 2.5.0
