Logger Middleware

Middleware for request logging in a server.

Installation

npm install @hexstudiosar/reqlogger

Usage

const express = require('express');
const logger = require('@hexstudiosar/reqlogger');

const app = express();

// Add the request logging middleware
app.use(logger());

// Rest of your application configuration and routes
// ...

// Start the server
app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server is running on port 3000');
});

Options

The middleware accepts an option for the log style. The available options are:

// 'inline': Inline log that displays all details in a single line.
app.use(logger('inline'));
/*
  Output:
  [15:30:45] GET /home 200 15ms 1750
*/

// 'minified': Minimal log that displays only essential request details.
app.use(logger('minified'));
/*
  Output:
  GET /home 200 15ms
*/

// 'agent': Log focused on agent information (IP, User Agent, Referer).
app.use(logger('agent'));
/* 
  Output:
  [15:30:45] | AGENT LOG
    IP: ::1
    User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/113.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
    Referer: Unknown
*/

// 'error': Inline log that displays only error requests details.
app.use(logger('error'));
/*
  Output:
