Add navigator key to your application:

MaterialApp( navigatorKey: chuck.getNavigatorKey(), home: ...)
copied to clipboard
You need to add this navigator key in order to show inspector UI.
You can use also your navigator key in Chuck:
Chuck chuck = Chuck(showNotification: true, navigatorKey: yourNavigatorKeyHere);
copied to clipboard
If you need to pass navigatorKey lazily, you can use:
chuck.setNavigatorKey(yourNavigatorKeyHere);
copied to clipboard
This is minimal configuration required to run Chuck. Can set optional settings in Chuck constructor, which are presented below. If you don't want to change anything, you can move to Http clients configuration.
Additional settings #
You can set showNotification in Chuck constructor to show notification. Clicking on this notification will open inspector.
Chuck chuck = Chuck(..., showNotification: true);

You can set showInspectorOnShake in Chuck constructor to open inspector by shaking your device (default disabled):
Chuck chuck = Chuck(..., showInspectorOnShake: true);

If you want to use dark mode just add darkTheme flag:
Chuck chuck = Chuck(..., darkTheme: true);

If you want to pass another notification icon, you can use notificationIcon parameter. Default value is @mipmap/ic_launcher.
Chuck chuck = Chuck(..., notificationIcon: "myNotificationIconResourceName");

If you want to limit max numbers of HTTP calls saved in memory, you may use maxCallsCount parameter.
Chuck chuck = Chuck(..., maxCallsCount: 1000));

If you want to change the Directionality of Chuck, you can use the directionality parameter. If the parameter is set to null, the Directionality of the app will be used.
Chuck chuck = Chuck(..., directionality: TextDirection.ltr);

HTTP Client configuration #
If you're using Dio, you just need to add interceptor.
Dio dio = Dio();
dio.interceptors.add(chuck.getDioInterceptor());
copied to clipboard
If you're using HttpClient from dart:io package:
httpClient
.getUrl(Uri.parse("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts"))
.then((request) async {
Chuck.onHttpClientRequest(request);
var httpResponse = await request.close();
var responseBody = await httpResponse.transform(utf8.decoder).join();
chuck.onHttpClientResponse(httpResponse, request, body: responseBody);
});
copied to clipboard
If you're using http from http/http package:
http.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts').then((response) {
chuck.onHttpResponse(response);
});
copied to clipboard
If you're using Chopper. you need to add interceptor:
chopper = ChopperClient(
interceptors: chuck.getChopperInterceptor(),
);
copied to clipboard
If you have other HTTP client you can use generic http call interface:
ChuckHttpCall chuckHttpCall = ChuckHttpCall(id);
chuck.addHttpCall(ChuckHttpCall);
copied to clipboard
Show inspector manually #
You may need that if you won't use shake or notification:
chuck.showInspector();
copied to clipboard
Saving calls #
Chuck supports saving logs to your mobile device storage. In order to make save feature works, you need to add in your Android application manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Extensions #
You can use extensions to shorten your http and http client code. This is optional, but may improve your codebase.
Example:

Import:

import 'package:chuck_interceptor/core/chuck_http_client_extensions.dart';
import 'package:chuck_interceptor/core/chuck_http_extensions.dart';
copied to clipboard

Use extensions:

http
.post('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts', body: body)
.interceptWithChuck(Chuck, body: body);
copied to clipboard
httpClient
.postUrl(Uri.parse("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts"))
.interceptWithChuck(chuck, body: body, headers: Map());
copied to clipboard
