Example log specific headers & body:

const { requestlogger, requestMiddleware } = require('@digipolis/request-log');

const config = {
  type: 'json',
};

// log external requests
requestlogger(config);

function initializeExpress() {
   const app = express();
   // log incoming requests
   app.use(requestMiddleware(config));
   app.post('/internalcall', (req, res) => res.json({ ok: 'ok' }));
}

Request

$ curl -X "POST" "http://localhost:2000/internalcall" \
     -H 'supersecret: ???' \
     -H 'Dgp-Correlation: correlationid' \
     -d $'{
  "a": "b",
  "d": "c"
}'

output

// output
{
  timestamp: '2021-12-17T10:28:26.505Z',
  type: [ 'application' ],
  level: 'INFO',
  correlationId: 'correlationid',
  request: { host: 'localhost:2000', path: '/internalcall', method: 'POST' },
  response: { status: 200, duration: 2 },
  protocol: 'http'
}

Example log specific headers & body BFF:

const { requestlogger, requestMiddleware } = require('@digipolis/request-log');

const config = {

};

// log external requests
requestlogger(config);

function initializeExpress() {
   const app = express();
   // For BFF type applications the browser will not set the DGP header so we set it ourselves
   app.use((req, res, next) => {
      req.id = uuidv4(); // b207d502-de0f-4467-9a1e-2dd032fbe84d
      return next();
