MinimaJS: Integrated Logging with Pino

MinimaJS streamlines development by offering a built-in logger powered by Pino. This logger simplifies debugging and monitoring by providing informative messages about your application's execution.

Leveraging the Built-in Logger:

Here's how to integrate it into your code:

Example:

src/services/index.ts
import { logger, type App, getSearchParams } from "@minimajs/server";

async function serviceHandler() {
  // Log request details with search parameters
  logger.info("received service request with %o", getSearchParams());
  return "service request";
}

export async function serviceModule(app: App) {
  app.get("/", serviceHandler);
}

In this example:

  1. We import logger and other necessary functions.
  2. Inside serviceHandler, we leverage logger.info to log a message with the received search parameters using a placeholder (%o) for the object.

Console Output:

When you run your application and make a request like curl http://localhost:1234/services?name=John, the console might display an output similar to:

INFO (serviceModule:serviceHandler): received service request with {"name":"John"}

Breakdown of the Output:

  • INFO: The log level (in this case, informational)
  • (serviceModule:serviceHandler): Indicates the source of the log message (<Module Name>:<Handler function>)
  • received service request with {"name":"John"}: The actual log message with the interpolated search parameters object.
