Feature Request: Add name Parameter for Log Messages

[weitsai]

I'm always frustrated when I need to categorize or label log messages in my app. Without a built-in way to add a name or tag, it becomes difficult to distinguish logs coming from different parts of the app, especially when debugging large applications.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to have a name or tag parameter for log messages. This would allow me to easily categorize or label logs when using the flutter_talker package. For example:

talker.debug('Test message', name: 'MyCustomTag');

This would output:

[MyCustomTag] Test message

Allowing for consistent categorization across all log levels (debug, info, warn, error).

Describe alternatives you've considered
As an alternative, I could manually add the name or tag in the log message, but this becomes cumbersome and doesn't provide the same level of integration or convenience that a dedicated name parameter would offer.

Additional context
Currently, the default tag used for all logs is 'Talker', which can be found in the code at

talker/packages/talker_flutter/lib/src/extensions/talker_flutter.dart

Line 30 in 8eff2a8

log(message, name: 'Talker');

Adding the ability to specify a custom tag would allow for better log management, especially in larger applications.

Hello @weitsai 👋
This custom tag [MyCustomTag] available only on apple devices (iOS, MacOS)
On Android, Windows, Linux and other operating systems logs looks like default flutter messages (with custom colors)

I think that we will not add a feature that will be available on only 2 of the supported Flutter platforms.

I’d like to suggest reconsidering the name or custom tag feature for logs. Even if it’s primarily useful during development, being able to filter logs by [MyCustomTag] in Flutter's Debug Console (e.g., in VS Code or Android Studio) would significantly improve debugging for larger apps.
