Django Logging Middleware

The extension for django to log requests and responses using loguru.

Sometimes code in django views becomes messy because we log requests and response. Also it takes a lot of time to write logs in every view. Using this extension for django, logging becomes simple: all you need is five minutes of installing this package and setting configuration!

Requirements

• python >=3.6
• django >=3.0
• django rest framework >= 3.10 (optional)

Installation

• Install using pip...

  pip install django-logging-middleware

• Add 'logging_middleware' to your INSTALLED_APPS setting.

  INSTALLED_APPS = [ 
      ... 
      'logging_middleware'
  ]
  

• Add setting in your settings.py:

  DJANGO_LOGGING_MIDDLEWARE = {
      'DEFAULT_FORMAT': False,
      'MESSAGE_FORMAT': "<b><green>{time}</green> <cyan>{message}</cyan></b>"
  }
  

• Add 'logging_middleware.middlewares.DjangoLoggingMiddleware' to your MIDDLEWARE setting.

  MIDDLEWARE = {
      ...
      'logging_middleware.middlewares.DjangoLoggingMiddleware'
  }
  

Note 'logging_middleware.middlewares.DjangoLoggingMiddleware' should be last in the list MIDDLEWARE

Configuration

If you missed 4th step in installation, default settings would be:

DJANGO_LOGGING_MIDDLEWARE = {
    'DEFAULT_FORMAT': True,
    'MESSAGE_FORMAT': "<b><green>{time}</green> <cyan>{message}</cyan></b>"
}

Settings

'DEFAULT_FORMAT'

'DEFAULT_FORMAT' by default is True. It means middleware will use default string format for log messages. By setting it to False, you should provide in 'MESSAGE_FORMAT' your own string format.

'MESSAGE_FORMAT'

'MESSAGE_FORMAT' sets the format of log messages. By default is '<b><green>{time}</green> <cyan>{message}</cyan></b>'. For making your own format string, please look the loguru docs. Note if you set 'DEFAULT_FORMAT' as True, but also set custom string format in 'MESSAGE_FORMAT', the log messages will take the default format. Also by setting 'DEFAULT_FORMAT' as False without providing the 'MESSAGE_FORMAT', the format of messages will be default.
