To use the Network plugin, you need to add the plugin to your Flipper client instance.
## Android
The network plugin is shipped as a separate Maven artifact, as follows:
```groovy
dependencies {
debugImplementation 'com.facebook.flipper:flipper-network-plugin:0.220.0'
}
```
Once added to your dependencies, you can instantiate the plugin and add it to the client:
```java
import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.network.NetworkFlipperPlugin;
NetworkFlipperPlugin networkFlipperPlugin = new NetworkFlipperPlugin();
new NetworkingModule.CustomClientBuilder() {
@Override
public void apply(OkHttpClient.Builder builder) {
builder.addNetworkInterceptor(new FlipperOkhttpInterceptor(networkFlipperPlugin));
}
});
client.addPlugin(networkFlipperPlugin);
```
### OkHttp Integration
If you are using the popular OkHttp library, you can use the Interceptors system to automatically hook into your existing stack, as shown in the following snippet:
```java
import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.network.FlipperOkhttpInterceptor;
new OkHttpClient.Builder()
.addNetworkInterceptor(new FlipperOkhttpInterceptor(networkFlipperPlugin))
.build();
```
As interceptors can modify the request and response, add the Flipper interceptor after all others to get an accurate view of the network traffic.
### Protobuf / Retrofit Integration
If you are using Retrofit with Protobuf request or response types, you can setup automatic decoding so that the network inspector can display a human readable payload. First you must add the separate dependency:
```groovy
dependencies {
debugImplementation 'com.facebook.flipper:flipper-retrofit2-protobuf-plugin:0.91.2'
}
```
Then call `SendProtobufToFlipperFromRetrofit` for each service class:
```kotlin
import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.retrofit2protobuf.SendProtobufToFlipperFromRetrofit
SendProtobufToFlipperFromRetrofit("https://baseurl.com/", MyApiService::class.java)
```
## iOS
To enable network inspection, add the following pod to your Podfile:
```ruby
pod 'FlipperKit/SKIOSNetworkPlugin', '~>' + flipperkit_version
```
Initialize the plugin in the following way by updating AppDelegate.m:
```objc
#import
[[FlipperClient sharedClient] addPlugin: [[FlipperKitNetworkPlugin alloc] initWithNetworkAdapter:[SKIOSNetworkAdapter new]]];
```
```swift
import FlipperKit
client?.add(FlipperKitNetworkPlugin(networkAdapter: SKIOSNetworkAdapter()))
```
