Interceptors and Logging

Interceptors are a powerful feature in network programming that allow you to intercept, modify, or monitor HTTP requests and responses before they reach your application logic or after they leave your app. In Flutter, interceptors are commonly used to automatically add headers (such as authentication tokens), handle errors in a unified way, and log requests and responses for debugging. By integrating interceptors, you can ensure that every request sent from your app contains the necessary headers, and you can capture important information about network activity without scattering logging code throughout your project.

By using interceptors like the one above, you eliminate the need to manually add headers or logging statements to every network call in your app. This centralization not only reduces repetition but also makes it much easier to maintain and debug your code. If you ever need to update authentication logic or adjust logging, you only have to change it in one place, and the changes will apply to all requests automatically.
