What the software is doing?

Sometimes you need to test some unknown requests or analyze some known requests.This package can help you to record these requests into a file.

It allows front-end developers to easily know what data POST. Even you can use it to create a capturing tool.

How to use it?

First install it

npm install info-record

Call the way

By default, time and terminal output are recorded for easy debugging.

var data = "data"
var filepath = 'log/api1.log'
infoRecord(data, filepath);

Such as closing time recording and terminal output.

var data = "data"
var filepath = 'log/api1.log'
var options = {
    time: 'false',
    consoleLog: 'false'
}
infoRecord(data, filepath, options);

Such as closing time recording .

var data = "data"
var filepath = 'log/api1.log'
var options = {
    time: 'true',
    consoleLog: 'false'
}
infoRecord(data, filepath, options);

Example

Then you can call it in the middle of the web framework. Example code for Express

var infoRecord = require('info-record')

/* some code */

app.post('/api', function (req, res, next) {
  var data = req.body;
  var filepath = 'log/api1.txt'
  var options = {
    time: 'false',
    consoleLog: 'true'
  }
  infoRecord(data, filepath, options);
  res.send('yes');
});

app.post('/api2', function (req, res, next) {
  var data = req.body;
  var filepath = 'log/api2.txt'
  var options = {
    time: 'true',
    consoleLog: 'true'
  }
  var backString = infoRecord(data, filepath, options);
  res.send(backString);
});

Example output:

2017-10-29T17:18:58+08:00 :
{"message":"Not Found","documentation_url":"https://developer.github.com/v3"}

2017-10-29T17:18:59+08:00 :
