http-ndjson

http-ndjson

Log http requests as ndjson.

Installation

$ npm install http-ndjson

Usage

const httpNdjson = require('http-ndjson')
const http = require('http')

http.createServer((req, res) => {
  httpNdjson(req, res).pipe(process.stdout)
  res.end()
}).listen()

{ name: 'http', method: 'GET', message: 'request', url: '/' }
{ name: 'http', method: 'GET', message: 'response', url: '/', statusCode: 200, elapsed: '5ms' }

Log custom properties

http-ndjson logs a sensible set of standard properties, but sometimes there's a need to dive in and log more. An optional third argument can be added with custom fields that will be logged on either request or response.

const httpNdjson = require('http-ndjson')
const http = require('http')

http.createServer((req, res) => {
  const opts = { req: { requestId: req.headers['requestId'] } }
  httpNdjson(req, res, opts)
  res.end()
}).listen()
