RestClient::Jogger

JSON Logger for RestClient

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rest-client-jogger'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rest-client-jogger

Usage

The logged_request method is the primary interaction with this gem.

You can call RestClient::Request.logged_request in place of RestClient::Request.execute. The logged_request method will send a notification to an ActiveSupport::Notifications subscriber.

Here's how to setup the event subscriber in a Rails application:

# in an initializer somewhere
require 'rest_client/jogger'

RestClient::Jogger::EventSubscriber.new.subscribe

This will log all requests made with the logged_request method to a logfile in log/rest_client.log.

Configuration

Some of the parameters used in this gem can be configured in the host application:

# in an initializer somewhere
RestClient::Jogger.configure do |config|
  config.request_pattern = 'my.request'            # optional
  config.response_pattern = 'my.response'          # optional
  config.default_content_type = 'application/json' # optional
  config.default_filter_replacement = '[SECRET]'   # optional
  config.log_output = STDOUT                       # optional
  config.filter_parameters = [:param_name]         # optional
end

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
