Sails.js HOWTO: implement logging for HTTP requests

Question

With the poor default logging of Sails.js not showing http request logs(even on verbose). What is the best way implement http request logging to console so i can see if I am getting malformed requests? Expressjs's default logging would be enough. I would prefer a Sails.js configuration way of doing it rather then a change the source code approach is possible. Has anyone had experience with this. My google searches seem oddly lacking information. Running Sails v0.9.8 on Mac OSX.

Accepted Answer

There's no Sails config option to log every request, but you can add a quick logging route at the top of `config/routes.js` that should do the trick:

```
// config/routes.js
'/*': function(req, res, next) {sails.log.verbose(req.method, req.url); next();}
```
