A Laravel package to log HTTP requests

Original – by Freek Van der Herten – 1 minute read

Most of the sites we build for our clients contain some sort of contact form. For those client such forms are potentially critical to their business. Imagine for instance a real estate firm that generates leads with such forms. In most cases we will store the submitted values in the db and mail them out to our client. But what if the database is down? For that case we wanted to have an extra safety net and that's why we created our new laravel-http-logger package.

The package contains a middleware that, applied to a route, will log the entire request.

// in a routes file

Route::post('/submit-form', function () {
    //
})->middleware(\Spatie\HttpLogger\Middlewares\HttpLogger::class);

The package supports some nice options such as filtering out some fields from the request, and you can determine how requests should be logged.
