Logging

Request logging and dev process output.

Pretty Logger (Development)

Use dexPrettyLogger() for readable logs:

import { dexPrettyLogger } from '@dex/server'

app.use(dexPrettyLogger())

Output in development:

🔵 GET    /                  200  12ms
🟢 GET    /about             200   8ms
🟡 GET    /api/health        200   5ms
🔴 POST   /api/submit        500  42ms

Plain Logger (Production)

In production, logs are plain text:

GET / 200 12ms
GET /about 200 8ms
GET /api/health 200 5ms
POST /api/submit 500 42ms

Dev Process Logs

Each watcher in dev mode outputs prefixed logs:

[router] ✅ Routes generated (42 routes)
[styles] 🎨 Styles compiled
[client] 📦 Client bundled (234KB)
[server] 🚀 Dev server ready

Custom Logging

Log requests in your routes:

app.get('/debug', ({ log }) => {
  log.info('Debug route accessed')
  return { ok: true }
})
