Logging

We use Bunyan for server-side logging in the platform, which provides JSON-encoded logs for production and a pretty- printing CLI for dev.

Usage

In general, server code should prefer to access the logger through the Hapi server instance at server.app.logger.

// Direct `server` access
function myModule(server) {
  server.app.logger.info('Hello module');
}

// Access through `request.server`
function requestHandler(request) {
  request.server.app.logger.info('Hello request handler');
}

// Access through `response.request.server`
function responseHandler(response) {
  response.request.server.app.logger.info('Hello response handler');
}

If a module does not have access to the server instance, the logging instance can also be imported directly at the cost of function purity and slightly more complex unit testing configuration to mock the logger module.

import { logger } from 'mwp-logger-plugin';

function doStuff() {
  logger.info('Hello stuff');
}
