logmiddleware

logmiddleware is a simple HTTP middleware for logging HTTP requests. It logs the HTTP method, path, status code, and the duration of each request to the standard logger. This package is easy to integrate into any Go project that uses the net/http package.

Features

• Logs the request method (e.g., GET, POST)
• Logs the request path (e.g., /api/v1/products)
• Logs the HTTP status code (e.g., 200, 404)
• Logs the duration of each request
• Lightweight and simple to use

Installation

To install the package, run the following command:

go get github.com/maron09/logmiddleware

Usage

You can use logmiddleware by wrapping your HTTP handlers or routers with the LoggingMiddleware function.

package main

import (
    "net/http"
    "github.com/maron09/logmiddleware"
)

func main() {
    mux := http.NewServeMux()

    // Register your routes
    mux.HandleFunc("/hello", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
        w.Write([]byte("Hello, World!"))
    })

    // Wrap the mux router with the logging middleware
    loggedMux := logmiddleware.LoggingMiddleware(mux)

    // Start the server
    http.ListenAndServe(":8080", loggedMux)
}

Example with gorilla/mux

You can also use logmiddleware with gorilla/mux or any other router:

package main

import (
    "net/http"
    "github.com/gorilla/mux"
    "github.com/maron09/logmiddleware"
)

func main() {
    router := mux.NewRouter()

    // Define your routes
    router.HandleFunc("/api/v1/products", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
        w.Write([]byte("Product List"))
    }).Methods("GET")

    // Apply logging middleware
    loggedRouter := logmiddleware.LoggingMiddleware(router)

    // Start the server
    http.ListenAndServe(":8080", loggedRouter)
}

Customizing the Logging Behavior

This middleware uses Go's built-in log package to print logs to the standard output (typically the console). If you'd like to modify this behavior (e.g., log to a file or use a structured logger), you can modify the loggingMiddleware function to suit your needs.

For instance, integrating with a structured logger like logrus or zap can be done by replacing the log.Printf line with the appropriate logger function.
