    // ...

    \Patrikap\ApiLogger\Middlewares\ApiLogger::class

})->middleware(\Patrikap\ApiLogger\Middlewares\ApiLogger::class);
```

### Logging

[](#logging)

Two classes are used to handle the logging of incoming requests: a `LogProfile` class will determine whether the request should be logged, and `LogWriter` class will write the request to a log.

A default log implementation is added within this package. It will only log `GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH`, and `DELETE` requests and it will write to the default Laravel logger.

You're free to implement your own log profile and/or log writer classes, and configure it in `config/api-logger.php`.

A custom log profile must implement `\Patrikap\ApiLogger\LogProfile`. This interface requires you to implement `shouldLogRequest`.

```
// Example implementation from `\Patrikap\ApiLogger\DefaultLogProfile`

public function shouldLogRequest(Request $request): bool
{
   return in_array(strtolower($request->method()), config('api-logger.logged_methods'));
}
```

A custom log writer must implement `\Patrikap\ApiLogger\LogWriter`. This interface requires you to implement `logRequest` and `logResponse`.
