Expect printed logs when URL is accessed or when update request is made, but terminal is silent.

Did not install npm -i json-server, using json-server out of box via npx.

awaiting #1625 you can preview by adding this to your package.json:

"scripts": {
    "server": "node node_modules/json-server/lib/bin.js db.json --port 3000 --middleware=logger.mjs",
    "postinstall": "cd node_modules && git clone -b feature/add-middleware https://github.com/rkristelijn/json-server.git"
  }

and create a logger.mjs file:

// logger.mjs
import chalk from 'chalk';

export default (req, _res, next) => {
 const currentDate = new Date().toISOString();
 console.log(chalk.green(req.method), chalk.yellow(req.url), chalk.blue(`${currentDate}`));

 // Check if the request body is already parsed
 if (req.body && Object.keys(req.body).length > 0) {
   console.log(chalk.magenta('Body:'), req.body);
 } else {
   // Manually parse the request body if not already parsed
   let body = '';
   req.on('data', (chunk) => {
     body += chunk.toString();
   });
   req.on('end', () => {
     if (body) {
       try {
         const parsedBody = JSON.parse(body);
         console.log(chalk.magenta('Body:'), parsedBody);
       } catch (error) {
         console.log(chalk.red('Failed to parse body'), error);
       }
     }
     next();
   });
   return;
 }

 next();
};

it will output:

> node node_modules/json-server/lib/bin.js db.json --port 3000 --middleware=src/utils/logger.mjs
