How to log all requests made to a hapi server without using a logging library?

Question

I\'d like to see a nice log with short info about each request to my server, for use during development. I\'ve seen the documentation on http://hapijs.com/api#request-logs, but

The easiest would be to use the good module with one of the good reporters, for example good-file. Here is an example how to use it:

var Hapi = require('hapi');
var Good = require('good');

var server = new Hapi.Server();
server.connection({ port: 8080 });

server.route({
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/',
    handler: function (request, reply) {

        reply('Hello, world!');
    }
});

server.route({
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/{name}',
    handler: function (request, reply) {

        reply('Hello, ' + encodeURIComponent(request.params.name) + '!');
    }
});

server.register({
    register: Good,
    options: {
        reporters: [{
            reporter: require('good-file'),
            events: {
                response: '*',
                log: '*'
            },
            config: {
                path: '/var/log/hapi',
                rotate: 'daily'
            }
        }]
    }
}, function (err) {

    if (err) {
        throw err; // something bad happened loading the plugin
    }

    server.start(function () {

        server.log('info', 'Server running at: ' + server.info.uri);
    });
});
