hapi-debug-manager

npm install hapi-debug-manager

This plugin is supposed to ease the process of enabling a debug output even in production. Therefore it offers different ways to determine if a request shall be logged or not. The current implementation therefore allows to append two url parameters to a request to send the corresponding session into debugMode. Additionally debugTags can be configured to spot the corresponding logs more easily. Besides enabling the debug for a request based on a session other modes are possible as well but no yet implemented. Imagine a database configured regexp to match certain url patterns to trace a bug which only happens for different users in certain circumstances. Contributions are welcome... :)

requires hapi >= 14.x.x

USAGE

enable debugmode in a session by appending the following params to your applications url. From here on out it is enabled in the session.

http://www.yoururl.com/?debugMode=true&debugPassword=yourPassword

It has some conviniene functions which allow you to easily check in your serverside code if the debug mode has been enabled.

	function(request, response) {
		var debugInfo = server.methods.debugManager.getDebugInformation(request);
		if (debugInfo.debug) {
			request.log(debugInfo.tags, 'start debuglogging', request.payload);
		}
	}
