  http Response Error {"error":"account already exists"} +31m

Installation

To install simply run: yarn add request-logger-middleware

Usage

On your server file:

const express = require("express");
const requestLoggerMiddleware = require("request-logger-middleware");
const app = express();
app.use(requestLoggerMiddleware());

On your package.json file simply add DEBUG=http to your start up script

"scripts": {
    "dev": "DEBUG=http nodemon src/index.js"
  },

If you want to disable the logger without touching your code simply remove DEBUG=http from your script command. This is specially useful to do when pushing to production since we don't wanna log sensitive information.

Now you should be seeing something like this on your terminal:
