logmiddleware 0.0.3

Simplify the logging of incoming requests and outgoing responses.

logmiddleware

logmiddleware is a Python library designed for use with FastAPI to simplify the logging of incoming requests and outgoing responses. It includes a middleware component that adds essential information to logs, such as request and response details, and supports debugging features.

Features

• Middleware for request and response logging: The library provides a middleware component, RouterLoggingMiddleware, to log incoming requests and outgoing responses. It includes features to capture request details, response information, and execution times.

• Request ID generation: Automatically generates a unique request ID for each incoming request. If the request includes an x-api-request-id header, it uses that value; otherwise, it generates a new UUID.

• Debugging support: Enables debugging of response bodies through the use of the api_debug flag. When enabled, the response body is included in the logs.

• JSON logging configuration: Utilizes the python-json-logger library to configure JSON logging. This allows for structured and easily parsable log entries.

Installation

To install the library, use the following pip command:

pip install logmiddleware

Usage

Setting up middleware

import logging
from fastapi import FastAPI
from logmiddleware import RouterLoggingMiddleware, logging_config

# Configure JSON logging
logging.config.dictConfig(logging_config)

app = FastAPI()
# Add the middleware to your FastAPI app
app.add_middleware(
    RouterLoggingMiddleware,
    logger=logging.getLogger(__name__),  # Pass your logger instance
    api_debug=True,  # Set to True to enable debugging of response bodies
)

Accessing request ID in the called function

The execute_request method has been updated to set the request_id in the request.state. You can now access it in the called function using request.state.request_id. Here is an example:

# ...

@app.get("/example")
async def example_route(request: Request):
    # Accessing the request_id in the called function
    request_id = request.state.request_id
    return {"message": "Hello, world!", "request_id": request_id}

Configuration

The library relies on a logging configuration dictionary (logging_config) to set up JSON logging. Because of that, it includes a default logging configuration (logging_config), which you can import for easy setup. Ensure this configuration is properly set before adding the middleware to your FastAPI app.
