💡 Usage

Handler options

type Config struct {
    DefaultLevel     slog.Level
    ClientErrorLevel slog.Level
    ServerErrorLevel slog.Level

    WithUserAgent      bool
    WithRequestID      bool
    WithRequestBody    bool
    WithRequestHeader  bool
    WithResponseBody   bool
    WithResponseHeader bool
    WithSpanID         bool
    WithTraceID        bool

    Filters []Filter
}

Attributes will be injected in log payload.

Other global parameters:

slogchi.TraceIDKey = "trace_id"
slogchi.SpanIDKey = "span_id"
slogchi.RequestIDKey = "id"
slogchi.RequestBodyMaxSize  = 64 * 1024 // 64KB
slogchi.ResponseBodyMaxSize = 64 * 1024 // 64KB
slogchi.HiddenRequestHeaders = map[string]struct{}{ ... }
slogchi.HiddenResponseHeaders = map[string]struct{}{ ... }

OTEL

logger := slog.New(slog.NewTextHandler(os.Stdout, nil))

config := slogchi.Config{
    WithSpanID:  true,
    WithTraceID: true,
}

router := chi.NewRouter()
router.Use(slogchi.NewWithConfig(logger, config))
router.Use(middleware.Recoverer)

Custom log levels

logger := slog.New(slog.NewTextHandler(os.Stdout, nil))

config := slogchi.Config{
    DefaultLevel:     slog.LevelInfo,
    ClientErrorLevel: slog.LevelWarn,
    ServerErrorLevel: slog.LevelError,
}

router := chi.NewRouter()
router.Use(slogchi.NewWithConfig(logger, config))
router.Use(middleware.Recoverer)

Verbose

logger := slog.New(slog.NewTextHandler(os.Stdout, nil))

config := slogchi.Config{
    WithRequestBody: true,
    WithResponseBody: true,
    WithRequestHeader: true,
    WithResponseHeader: true,
}

router := chi.NewRouter()
router.Use(slogchi.NewWithConfig(logger, config))
router.Use(middleware.Recoverer)

Filters

logger := slog.New(slog.NewTextHandler(os.Stdout, nil))

router := chi.NewRouter()
router.Use(
    slogchi.NewWithFilters(
        logger,
        slogchi.Accept(func (ww middleware.WrapResponseWriter, r *http.Request) bool {
            return xxx
        }),
        slogchi.IgnoreStatus(401, 404),
    ),

router.Use(middleware.Recoverer)

Available filters:

Accept / Ignore
AcceptMethod / IgnoreMethod
AcceptStatus / IgnoreStatus
AcceptStatusGreaterThan / IgnoreStatusLessThan
AcceptStatusGreaterThanOrEqual / IgnoreStatusLessThanOrEqual
AcceptPath / IgnorePath
AcceptPathContains / IgnorePathContains
AcceptPathPrefix / IgnorePathPrefix
AcceptPathSuffix / IgnorePathSuffix
AcceptPathMatch / IgnorePathMatch
AcceptHost / IgnoreHost
AcceptHostContains / IgnoreHostContains
AcceptHostPrefix / IgnoreHostPrefix
AcceptHostSuffix / IgnoreHostSuffix
AcceptHostMatch / IgnoreHostMatch

Using custom time formatters

import (
    "github.com/go-chi/chi/v5"
    "github.com/go-chi/chi/v5/middleware"
    slogchi "github.com/samber/slog-chi"
    slogformatter "github.com/samber/slog-formatter"
    "log/slog"
)

// Create a slog logger, which:
//   - Logs to stdout.
//   - RFC3339 with UTC time format.
logger := slog.New(
    slogformatter.NewFormatterHandler(
        slogformatter.TimezoneConverter(time.UTC),
        slogformatter.TimeFormatter(time.DateTime, nil),
    )(
        slog.NewTextHandler(os.Stdout, nil),
    ),
)

// Chi instance
router := chi.NewRouter()

// Middleware
router.Use(slogchi.New(logger))
router.Use(middleware.Recoverer)

// Routes
router.GET("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    w.Write([]byte("Hello, World!"))
})
router.GET("/error", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    http.Error(w, http.StatusText(400), 400)
})

// Start server
err := http.ListenAndServe(":4242", router)

// output:
// time=2023-10-15T20:32:58.926+02:00 level=INFO msg="200: OK" env=production request.time=2023-10-15T20:32:58.626Z request.method=GET request.path=/ request.route="" request.ip=127.0.0.1:63932 request.length=0 response.time=2023-10-15T20:32:58Z response.latency=100ms response.status=200 response.length=7 id=""

Using custom logger sub-group

logger := slog.New(slog.NewTextHandler(os.Stdout, nil))

// Chi instance
router := chi.NewRouter()

// Middleware
router.Use(slogchi.New(logger.WithGroup("http")))
router.Use(middleware.Recoverer)

// Routes
router.GET("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    w.Write([]byte("Hello, World!"))
})
router.GET("/error", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    http.Error(w, http.StatusText(400), 400)
})

// Start server
err := http.ListenAndServe(":4242", router)

// output:
// time=2023-10-15T20:32:58.926+02:00 level=INFO msg="200: OK" env=production http.request.time=2023-10-15T20:32:58.626+02:00 http.request.method=GET http.request.path=/ http.request.route="" http.request.ip=127.0.0.1:63932 http.request.length=0 http.response.time=2023-10-15T20:32:58.926+02:00 http.response.latency=100ms http.response.status=200 http.response.length=7 http.id=""

Adding custom attributes

logger := slog.New(slog.NewTextHandler(os.Stdout, nil))

// Add an attribute to all log entries made through this logger.
logger = logger.With("env", "production")

// Chi instance
router := chi.NewRouter()

// Middleware
router.Use(slogchi.New(logger))
router.Use(middleware.Recoverer)

// Routes
router.GET("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    // Add an attribute to a single log entry.
    slogchi.AddCustomAttributes(r, slog.String("foo", "bar"))
    w.Write([]byte("Hello, World!"))
})

// Start server
err := http.ListenAndServe(":4242", router)

// output:
// time=2023-10-15T20:32:58.926+02:00 level=INFO msg="200: OK" env=production request.time=2023-10-15T20:32:58.626+02:00 request.method=GET request.path=/ request.route="" request.ip=127.0.0.1:63932 request.length=0 response.time=2023-10-15T20:32:58.926+02:00 response.latency=100ms response.status=200 response.length=7 id="" foo=bar

JSON output

logger := slog.New(slog.NewJSONHandler(os.Stdout, nil))

// Chi instance
router := chi.NewRouter()

// Middleware
router.Use(slogchi.New(logger))
router.Use(middleware.Recoverer)

// Routes
router.GET("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    w.Write([]byte("Hello, World!"))
})

// Start server
err := http.ListenAndServe(":4242", router)

// output:
// {"time":"2023-10-15T20:32:58.926+02:00","level":"INFO","msg":"200: OK","env":"production","http":{"request":{"time":"2023-10-15T20:32:58.626+02:00","method":"GET","path":"/","route":"","ip":"127.0.0.1:55296","length":0},"response":{"time":"2023-10-15T20:32:58.926+02:00","latency":100000,"status":200,"length":7},"id":""}}
