API logger with Grape under Rails

Are the helper methods such as current_user available in the middleware? I have been trying to call those methods but I always get method not found exception.

@hamin - howdy padner! Do you have any updates to the logger? I am just stumbling onto this now. I've been manually logging params where needed, but I want to implement a global solution now.

Update: I went ahead and kicked its ass. Also @dblock

ruby-grape/grape#894

Just recently created gem that accomplish something very similar. Just few lines of code in your app and you will get one log line per request with: status code, path, request time, db time and parameters.

Check it out: https://rubygems.org/gems/grape_logging

@aserafin -- can you specify where to put those two lines of code -- Ruby beginner here.

@hamin Yes, dirty... I found a nasty bug in this code:

        # Rack::Utils.parse_query('♥')
        # /.../vendor/bundle/ruby/2.2.0/gems/rack-1.6.4/lib/rack/utils.rb:92: warning: regexp match /.../n against to UTF-8 string
        # => {"♥"=>nil}
        # [2] pry(#<Backbone::ApiLogger>)> Rack::Utils.parse_query('%')
        # ArgumentError: invalid %-encoding (%)
        # from /home/xxx/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.0/lib/ruby/2.2.0/uri/common.rb:382:in `decode_www_form_component'

so the percent sign has to be escaped too, in case somebody wants to use it

rack_input = rack_input.gsub("&", "%26").gsub("%", "%25")
