morgan-body

morgan-body

Logging the way you always wanted it to be!
Nicely colorized logging that includes Request and Response bodies.

Example Use

Note: unlike typical express middleware you must pass the actual app into the function

import morganBody from 'morgan-body';
import express from 'express';
import bodyParser from 'body-parser';

const app = express();

// must parse body before morganBody as body will be logged
app.use(bodyParser.json());

// hook morganBody to express app
morganBody(app);

*Note: console output is colorized for iTerm2, might look odd on terminals with other background colors
