Basic example

Basic example utilizes debug config with Dialog Report Mode and Console Handler and release config with Dialog Report Mode and Email Manual Handler.

To start using Catcher, you have to:

  1. Create Catcher configuration (you can use only debug config at start)
  2. Create Catcher instance and pass your root widget along with catcher configuration
  3. Add navigator key to MaterialApp or CupertinoApp

Here is complete example:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:catcher/catcher.dart';

main() {
  /// STEP 1. Create catcher configuration. 
  /// Debug configuration with dialog report mode and console handler. It will show dialog and once user accepts it, error will be shown   /// in console.
  CatcherOptions debugOptions =
      CatcherOptions(DialogReportMode(), [ConsoleHandler()]);
      
  /// Release configuration. Same as above, but once user accepts dialog, user will be prompted to send email with crash to support.
  CatcherOptions releaseOptions = CatcherOptions(DialogReportMode(), [
    EmailManualHandler(["support@email.com"])
  ]);

  /// STEP 2. Pass your root widget (MyApp) along with Catcher configuration:
  Catcher(rootWidget: MyApp(), debugConfig: debugOptions, releaseConfig: releaseOptions);
}

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyAppState createState() => _MyAppState();
}

class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      /// STEP 3. Add navigator key from Catcher. It will be used to navigate user to report page or to show dialog.
      navigatorKey: Catcher.navigatorKey,
      home: Scaffold(
          appBar: AppBar(
            title: const Text('Plugin example app'),
          ),
          body: ChildWidget()),
    );
  }
}

class ChildWidget extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(
            child: TextButton(
                child: Text("Generate error"),
                onPressed: () => generateError()));
  }

  generateError() async {
    throw "Test exception";
  }
}

If you run this code you will see screen with "Generate error" button on the screen. After clicking on it, it will generate test exception, which will be handled by Catcher. Before Catcher process exception to handler, it will show dialog with information for user. This dialog is shown because we have used DialogReportHandler. Once user confirms action in this dialog, report will be send to console handler which will log to console error informations.
