horse-logger-provider-console is an official horse-logger middleware provider to print the logs of an API developed using the Horse framework, on console. We created a channel on Telegram for questions and support:
horse-logger - Official middleware for logging in APIs developed with the Horse framework.
horse-utils-clientip - Capture the client's IP.
Obs: If you use Boss (dependency manager for Delphi), the jhonson will be installed automatically when installing horse-logger-provider-console.
Installation is done using the boss install command:
$ boss install horse-logger-provider-consoleIf you choose to install manually, simply add the following folders to your project, in Project > Options > Resource Compiler > Directories and Conditionals > Include file search path
../horse-logger-provider-console/src
This middleware is compatible with projects developed in:
- Delphi
- Lazarus
You can format the log output:
Default: ${request_clientip} [${time}] ${request_user_agent} "${request_method} ${request_path_info} ${request_version}" ${response_status} ${response_content_length}
Possible values: time,time_short,execution_time,request_clientip,request_method,request_version,request_url,request_query,request_path_info,request_path_translated,request_cookie,request_accept,request_from,request_host,request_referer,request_user_agent,request_connection,request_derived_from,request_remote_addr,request_remote_host,request_script_name,request_server_port,request_remote_ip,request_internal_path_info,request_raw_path_info,request_cache_control,request_script_name,request_authorization,request_content_encoding,request_content_type,request_content_length,request_content_version,request_content,response_version,response_reason,response_server,response_realm,response_allow,response_location,response_log_message,response_title,response_content_encoding,response_content_type,response_content_length,response_content_version,response_content,response_status

end.Using default log formatting, the output will look something like this:
