bunyan-request-logger

Automated request logging connect middleware for Express. Powered by Bunyan.

Example usage:

$ npm install --save bunyan-request-logger

'use strict';

var express = require('express'),
  logger = require('bunyan-request-logger'),
  noCache = require('connect-cache-control'),
  log = logger(),
  app = express(),
  port = 3000;

app.use( log.requestLogger() );

// Route to handle client side log messages.
//
// This route prepends the cache-control
// middleware so that the browser always logs
// to the server instead of fetching a useless
// OK message from its cache.
// 
// Using a 1x1 transparent gif allows you to
// use the logger in emails or embed the tracking
// pixel on third party sites without resorting
// to JavaScript.
app.get( '/log.gif', noCache, log.route() );

app.listen(port, function () {
  log.info('Listening on port ' + port);
});
