NETWORK LOGGER PRO HOW TO

You’ll add the Pulse framework to this app and learn how to use it to log and subsequently inspect the network traffic the app makes.īefore you start, you need to register for an API key at the TMDB website. In this tutorial, you’ll work on MovieSearch, an app which lets you search and view movies from The Movie Database via its API.

Implement an image downloader that adds Pulse logging to image network requests.ĭownload the project materials by clicking Download Materials at the top or bottom of this tutorial.

Hook Pulse up to network requests and inspect all aspects of the request in the Pulse UI.

Add simple data logging and visualise it in the Pulse UI.

Learn how to integrate Pulse into your app.

This approach lets you build your UI around the log data if you choose. It also provides access to its data store. Pulse lets you view network activity in supplementary apps or directly inside the app that triggered the network requests. It means the testers don’t need to know how to set up a proxy for themselves. Pulse is a framework that you can use to provide any of your app’s testers (QA, engineers, beta testers) access to a history of the network requests the app makes. It logs the network activity that an app makes and provides some intuitive UI for later viewing. Pulse Network Inspector takes a different approach than the previously mentioned proxy apps.

Some good examples of proxy apps are Charles and Proxyman. Proxies sit between your app and the network, intercepting traffic on the way in and out. Usually, network proxies are the tool you use for monitoring network traffic.

In today’s API-driven world, this is true for almost all apps! You’ll come across two types of frameworks to interact with your network APIs while building an app: network proxies and network logger. Logging network requests is crucial when debugging and monitoring apps that rely heavily on remote data.
