Logging request and helpful response information in Hapi.js using Good

Question

I use Hapi.js to implement a RESTful API for my mobile application. I have included Good for logging requests, errors and other events. This works very well for me. However, it is unclear how to record requests for requests and responses (JSON objects).

I would appreciate any help.

Answer 1

This section describes what you need:

server.on('response', function (request) { console.log(request.info.remoteAddress + ': ' + request.method.toUpperCase() + ' ' + request.url.path + ' --> ' + request.response.statusCode); console.log('Request payload:', request.payload); console.log('Response payload:', request.response.source); }); 

I have not used Good , but I think connecting this to Good should not be difficult.

Answer 2

I know this is already late, but it is worth mentioning that now you can further capture requests and responses with good :

[requestPayload] - determines whether the request payload will be available to reporter objects. False by default

[responsePayload] - determines whether the response payload will be available to reporter objects. False by default

For instance:

 var options = { responsePayload: true, reporters: [{ reporter: require('good-console'), events: { log: '*', response: '*' } }] }; 

Something needs to be careful, because now you are likely to store the username and passwords in text form in your log files. You should consider using the filter option when registering a response and requesting payloads:

[filter] - an object with the following keys:

• - data property key to change
• value is a string that can be one of the following:
  • "censor" - replace the text with "X" s
  • "remove" - ​​removes the value of a valid regular string. Supports only one group. Example: "(\ d {4}) $" will replace the last four digits with "X". Be especially careful when creating this line. You will need to make sure that the resulting RegExp object is what you need.
