dart - Logging large strings from Flutter

Question

I'm trying to build a Flutter App and learning Dart in the process, but I'm getting kind of frustrated when debugging. I have fetched a resource from an API and now I want to print the JSON string to the console, but it keeps cutting off the string.

So I actually have two questions: is the terminal console really the only way to print debug messages and how can I print large strings to the console without them automatically getting cut off?

Answer 1

How about using the Flutter log from the dart: developer library. This does not seem to have the maximum length limit like print() or debugPrint(). This is the only solution that seems to work fine. Try it as below:

log(reallyReallyLongText)

The output will be the entire long string without breaks and prefixed with [log]
