Babylogger

A Go HTTP logger middleware, for babies.

We’ve used it with Goji and the Go standard library, but it should work with any multiplexer worth its salt. And by that we mean any multiplexer compatible with the standard library.

Note that ANSI escape sequences (read: colors) will be stripped from the output when the logger is not running in a terminal. For example, log files won't contain any sort of ANSI intended for color output.

Also note that for accurate response time logging Babylogger should be the first middleware called.

Examples

Standard Library

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "net/http"
    "github.com/magicnumbers/babylogger"
)

func main() {
    http.Handle("/", babylogger.Middleware(http.HandlerFunc(handler)))
    http.ListenAndServe(":8000", nil)
}

handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    fmt.FPrintln(w, "Oh, hi, I didn’t see you there.")
}

Goji

import (
    "fmt"
    "net/http"
    "github.com/magicnumbers/babylogger"
    "goji.io"
    "goji.io/pat"
)

func main() {
    mux := goji.NewMux()
    mux.Use(babylogger.Middleware)
    mux.HandleFunc(pat.Get("/"), handler)
    http.ListenAndServe(":8000", mux)
}

handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    fmt.FPrintln(w, "Oh hi, I didn’t see you there.")
}
