My boss threw me a feature yesterday : reason.” “Peter, we need a thingy to monitor the user behaviour in the APP.” “I think GA is already added in the APP?” “We need more detail from the user, but they are not stored in GA (like money flow), and GA has a disadvantage, it is not easy to do search.” “I see, a module to store every detail of each request (GET, POST, PUT), a log module , is needed to record and monitor, when Error or Exception is happened at least we have a lead from the record to find the The best solution will be manipulating the function, just few line of program: res.send( ) var express = require(‘express’)var app = express() // Overwrite res.sendapp.use(function(req, res, next) { }) var temp = res.sendres.send = function() {console.log(‘do something..’);temp.apply(this, arguments );}next(); app.get(‘/’, function (req, res) {res.send(‘Hello World!’)}) #Thanks to Vladimir de Turckheim , advised to use temp.apply(this, arguments ) for better flexibility code usage You also like Cracking nuts series: [Javascript] override Object.constructor( ) [Expressjs] put the IP to BlackList Like this story?
