Bilfeldt introduced an HTTP Client Logger Package that is a very easy and flexible logger for the built-in Laravel HTTP client. It makes logging the request and response simple by sending it to a configured Laravel logger.
This package makes use of Laravels package auto-discovery mechanism so there is no need to do any further steps. If for some reason you wish to opt-out of package auto-discovery, check the Laravel Docs for more details.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require bilfeldt/laravel-http-client-logger

Config

Optionally in Laravel publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Bilfeldt\LaravelHttpClientLogger\LaravelHttpClientLoggerServiceProvider" --tag="laravel-http-client-logger-config"

Usage

Using the logger will log both the request, the response, and the response time of an external HTTP request made with the Laravel HTTP Client.

Basic logging

Http::log()->get('https://example.com'); // uses the configured logger and filter

Conditional logging

This will log the request/response when the $condition evaluates to true.

Http::logWhen($condition)->get('https://example.com'); // uses the configured logger and filter

Logging context

It is possible to supply context for the logger using:

Http::log(['note' => 'Something to log'])->get('https://example.com');
// or
Http::logWhen($condition, ['note' => 'Something to log'])->get('https://example.com');

Providing on-demand configuration

It is possible to provide an on-demand configuration that will override the package configuration specified in config/laravel-http-client-logger.php:

Http::log($context, ['example-config-key' => 'value'])->get('https://example.com');
// or
Http::logWhen($condition, $context, ['example-config-key' => 'value'])->get('https://example.com');

Specifying a logger

The default logger and filter are specified in the package configuration logger and filter respectively but can be changed at runtime using:

Http::log($context, $config, $logger, $filter)->get('https://example.com');
// or
Http::logWhen($condition, $context, $config, $logger, $filter)->get('https://example.com');
// or the shorthand syntax which will use the LogAllFilter
Http::logWith($logger)->get('https://example.com');

Note that the logger must implement HttpLoggerInterface while the filter must implement HttpLoggingFilterInterface.

Logging Example

The default logger converts the request and response to a PSR-7 HTTP message which is then logged as strings.

Log entry example when using default logger:

Http::log()->get('https://repo.packagist.org/p2/bilfeldt/laravel-http-client-logger.json');
