Verbose output - lwsjs/local-web-server GitHub Wiki

Setting the --verbose flag outputs a highly verbose JSON stream containing debug information. It is intended to aid debugging and to provide a datasource for custom views.

Any middleware module can send information to the verbose stream with this line (where key is a identifying string e.g. middleware.example.config and value is the information to send).

this.emit('verbose', key, value)

Verbose stream filtering

You may hand-pick the keys to display in the verbose stream using --verbose.include and --verbose.exclude. Each option implies --verbose and accepts one or more regular expressions.

This command outputs only information regarding the rewrite middleware.

$ ws --verbose.include rewrite

Include only request and response info.

ws --verbose.include request response

Print everything except socket and middleware information.

$ ws --verbose.exclude socket middleware
