Organ is a logging middleware for the Oak web framework. It is based on the Morgan library for Express in NodeJS.
To use Organ, simply add it as middleware in an Oak web application before your routes:
import { Application } from "https://deno.land/x/oak/mod.ts";
import { organ } from "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/denjucks/organ/master/mod.ts";
const app = new Application();
// Adding the Organ middleware. Note that when no values are passed to the
// organ function, the default format "combined" will be used. For more info
// on this format, see the section on predefined formats below.
app.use(organ());
app.use(async (context, next) => {
context.response.body = "hello world";
});
await app.listen({ port: 8000 });
Organ uses similar configurations to the Morgan library. You can change the format of the logs created with Organ in one of two ways:
- Format Strings Using Tokens
- Predefined Formats
You can pass a format string into the organ()
function to change what logs are displayed. For example, if you want to create a log with the text "log created":
organ("log created");
You can use token strings within the format string to log details such as the date of log creation, user-agent, response time, and more. All token strings start with a semicolon:
organ("log created at this date -> :date");
Some token strings, such as :date, take an optional parameter that changes the format of the log. For example, to change the date to RFC 1123 web format:
organ("log created at this date -> :date[web]");
Below are a list of all tokens, their descriptions, and their options parameters:
:date[format] Current date in UTC. The available formats are:
- clf for common log format (
"10/Oct/2000:13:55:36 +0000"
) - iso for ISO 8601 date time format (
2000-10-10T13:55:36.000Z
) - web for RFC 1123 date time format (
Tue, 10 Oct 2000 13:55:36 GMT
)
:http-version The HTTP version of the request.
:method The HTTP method of the request.
:referrer The Referrer header of the request (using the standard mis-spelled referer header).
:remote-addr The remote address of the request.
:remote-user The user authenticated as part of Basic auth for the request.
:request[header] The specified header of the request, or if not present a "-".
:response[header] The specified header of the response, or if not present a "-".
:response-time[digits] The time between the request coming into organ and when the response has finished being written out to the connection, in milliseconds. The default digits is 3.
:status The status code of the response.
:url The URL of the request.
:user-agent The user-agent header of the response.
Organ allows for the same predefined formats as Morgan. You can chose a format in organ()
function:
organ("common");
Below are all of the predefined formats available:
combined Standard Apache combined log output.
:remote-addr - :remote-user [:date[clf]] ":method :url HTTP/:http-version" :status :res[content-length] ":referrer" ":user-agent"
common Standard Apache common log output.
:remote-addr - :remote-user [:date[clf]] ":method :url HTTP/:http-version" :status :res[content-length]
dev
Some basic information for development purposes. Note that unlike morgan, organ uses an optional debug parameter that can set color coding on any of the formats, or allows the use of the debug
format for easy debugging (see below).
:method :url :status :response-time ms - :res[content-length]
short The short format from morgan.
:remote-addr :remote-user :method :url HTTP/:http-version :status :res[content-length] - :response-time ms
tiny The minimal output.
:method :url :status :res[content-length] - :response-time ms
debug Displays and color codes a lot of information from the request. Note that the type of request is in bold, the status codes of the response are color coded (200's are in green, 300's are in cyan, 400's are in yellow, and 500's are in red), the response time is in pink, the url is in gray, and all info is formatted into a more readable format.
METHOD: :method
URL: :url
STATUS: :status
DATE: :date
RESPONSE_TIME: :response-time ms
CONTENT_LENGTH: :response[content-length]
HTTP_VERSION: :http-version
REMOTE_ADDR: :remote-addr
REMOTE_USER: :remote-user
REFERER: :referer
USER_AGENT: :user-agent
Organ also supports the ability to add custom logging features. You can mix organ and custom logging features by using the Organ.log() function, which will give you the ability to take advantage of tokens as well as including custom information:
import { Application } from "https://deno.land/x/oak/mod.ts";
import { Organ } from "../mod.ts";
const app = new Application();
// Creating custom logging features using Organ
app.use(async (context, next) => {
await next();
Organ.log(`My custom logging info ->${context.request.myAdditionalRequestInfo}, Tiny format info -> :method :url :status :res[content-length] - :response-time ms`, context.request.serverRequest, context.response);
});
app.use(async (context, next) => {
context.response.body = "hello world";
});
await app.listen({ port: 8000 });
Organ also supports adding color to printing for debugging purposes. See the debug
format to see what coloring is applied to the tokens. To add colored printing, add true
as the final parameter to either the organ()
function or the Organ.log()
function:
organ("common", true)
