[pino](https://github.com/pinojs/pino) logging [koa](http://npm.im/koa) middleware

Note: For Koa v1 see [v1 readme](https://github.com/pinojs/koa-pino-logger/tree/v1)

To our knowledge, `koa-pino-logger` is the [fastest](#benchmarks) JSON [koa](http://npm.im/koa) logger in town.

## Benchmarks

Benchmarks log each request/response pair while returning
`'hello world'`, using
[autocannon](https://github.com/pinojs/autocannon) with 100
connections and pipelining set to 1 (koa can't handle pipelining): `autocannon -c 100 -p 1 http://localhost:3000`.

* `koa-bunyan-logger`: 5844 req/sec
* `koa-logger`: 9401 req/sec
* `koa-morgan`: 10881 req/sec
* `koa-pino-logger`: 10534 req/sec
* `koa-pino-logger` (extreme): 11112 req/sec
* koa w/out logger: 14518 req/sec

All benchmarks where taken on a Macbook Pro 2013 (2.6GHZ i7, 16GB of RAM).

Benchmarking against `koa-logger` is an apples vs oranges situation. `koa-logger` is for development logging, and has extremely simple (non-JSON) output. Still, `koa-pino-logger` is faster so... why not.

Additionally, whilst we're comparing `koa-pino-logger` against [koa-morgan](http://npm.im/koa-morgan), this isn't really a fair contest.

Morgan doesn't support logging arbitrary data, nor does it output JSON. Further Morgan [uses a form of `eval`](https://github.com/koajs/morgan/blob/5da5ff1f5446e3f3ff29d29a2d6582712612bf89/index.js#L383) to achieve high speed logging. Whilst probably safe, using `eval` at all tends to cause concern, particular when it comes to server-side JavaScript.

The fact that `koa-pino-logger` achieves similar throughput with JSON logging **and** arbitrary data, without using `eval`, serves to emphasise the high-speed capabilities of `koa-pino-logger`.

With `koa-pino-logger` you can have features, safety **and** speed.

## Install

```sh
npm i koa-pino-logger
```

## Example

### Request logging

```js
'use strict'

var koa = require('koa')
var logger = require('koa-pino-logger')

var app = new Koa()
app.use(logger())

app.use((ctx) => {
ctx.log.info('something else')
ctx.body = 'hello world'
})

app.listen(3000)
```
```

### Thrown Error logging

```js
'use strict'

var koa = require('koa')
var logger = require('koa-pino-logger')

var app = new Koa()
app.silent = true // disable console.errors
app.use(logger())

app.use((ctx) => {
ctx.body = 'hello world'
throw Error('bang!')
})

app.listen(3000)
```

## API

`koa-pino-logger` has the same options as
[pino](http://npm.im/pino)
`koa-pino-logger` will log when a request finishes or errors.

Along with automated request logging, the pino logger facilitates manual logging
by adding the pino logger instance to the the context, request, response, req and res objects:

```js
 app.use((ctx, next) => {
ctx.log.info('test 1')
ctx.request.log.info('test 2')
ctx.response.log.info('test 3')
ctx.res.log.info('test 4')
ctx.req.log.info('test 5')
return next()
})
```

We recommend using `ctx.log` in the general case.
