})
 
var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  logger(req, res, {
    timestamp: new Date() // will show just this once
  })
 
  res.writeHead(200)
  setTimeout(function () {
    res.end('DELAYED')
    server.close()
  }, 250)
})
 
server.listen(1337)

API

ReqLogger([opts, cb])

ReqLogger() is the main entry point. Accepts optional opts (default is {}) and optional cb (default is console.log). Returns a logging function logger.

var logger = ReqLogger()
 
// or
 
var logger = ReqLogger({version: '1.2.3'}) // shows on every log
 
// or
var log = bunyan.createLogger({name: 'requests'})
var logger = ReqLogger(function(obj) {
  log.info(obj) // custom logging
})
 
// logger is now a function that takes req and res as arguments

logger(req, res, [opts, cb])

logger() -- call this function when you actually want to log a request. req and res are required. Accepts opts and cb like ReqLogger() above, but will only apply to the single call. Useful for adding a user or timestamp that isn't on the req object.
