Logging with Edge Functions

You can output content to the logs during the execution of your Edge Function.

import type { Context } from "netlify:edge";

export default async (request: Request, context: Context) => {
  context.log("Hello from the logging service");
};

The Edge Function code: log.ts

Pro tip!

You can still use console.log() in your Edge Functions, but using context.log() will tell you which Edge Function generated the message for easier debugging!

What are Edge Functions?

Using JavaScript and TypeScript, Netlify Edge Functions give you the power to modify network requests to localize content, serve relevant ads, authenticate visitors, A/B test content, and much more! And this all happens at the Edge — directly from the worldwide location closest to each user.

To use Edge Functions on Netlify, add JavaScript or TypeScript files to an edge-functions directory in your project, and add [[edge_functions]] entries to your netlify.toml file.

Learn more in the docs.
