superagent-bunyan

a plugin for superagent that uses bunyan to log the request and responses

---

api

const superagentLogger = require('superagent-bunyan')

superagentLogger(bunyan_logger[, requestId, extra])

• bunyan logger should be a bunyan createLogger or child object
• requestId uuid, by default will try to pick up from the headers injected in superagent, or can be set by using a module/function to generate the requestId, by default will use an internal id generator
• extra an object that you can use to add extra info int the log entry

some notes:

• should use the plugin after the definiton of the http method to use
• to capture the X-Request-ID should use this plugin after setting the X-Request-ID header
• for more options to configure bunyan.createLogger or log.child check with bunyan doc
• will use log.error with http errors (status codes 4xx and 5xx) and socket errors but for the http errors res will have the statusCode

example

const request = require('superagent')
const bunyan  = require('bunyan')
 
const superagentLogger = require('superagent-bunyan')
 
const logger = bunyan.createLogger({name: 'my_log'})
 
logger.info('Hey!')
 
request
  .get('http://localhost:3000')
  .use(superagentLogger(logger)))
  .end((err, res) => {})
 
//
// should print 2 log entries
// 1 - "msg":"start of the request"
// 2 - "msg":"end of the request", this will print the statusCode and the body
