Buffer in logs

[mo4islona]

It is always frustrating when request/response contains a buffer. Dumping in console as is totally useless because of huge amount of data inside and causes a harder debug of other requests.

#55 will help in a certain way. Though it will be nice to have an option to completely exclude buffer data from logging.

Now

[Axios][Response] GET http://example.com/some_file_.pdf {"type":"Buffer","data [255,216,255,224,0,16,74,70,73,70,0,1,1,0,

I need for option! I will consider.

One solution to solving this problem is to leverage the mixin loggers.

Sample code below for how I achieved a similar result:

       axiosInstance.interceptors.request.use((request) => {
            request.headers['Authorization'] = '<REDACTED>';
            request.headers.buffer = request.headers.buffer ? '<REDACTED>' : undefined;
            return AxiosLogger.requestLogger(request);
        }, AxiosLogger.errorLogger);

This will update the headers generated on a request object and replace with the string <REDACTED>. Similar concept can be taken for response payloads.

// Sample Request logged
[Axios][Request] GET https://example.com/some_file_.pdf {"buffer":"<REDACTED>","Content-Type":"application/json; charset=UTF-8","Connection":"Keep-Alive","Accept":"application/json","Authorization":"<REDACTED>"}

Hi!

I had the same issue, the next piece of code resolves it:

axiosInstance.interceptors.response.use(
  (response) =>
     responseLogger(response, {
       data: response.config.responseType !== 'arraybuffer', // Don't log response body for binary responses
     }),
  errorLogger
)

@cernadasjuan Thank you for report!
