Express Logger

![GitHub Release]()

Default express logging middleware to match CES Application Development logging standards.

Install

``
npm i @byu-oit/express-logger
`

Usage


`typescript
import { LoggerMiddleware } from '@byu-oit/express-logger'
const app = Express()

app.use(LoggerMiddleware())

// ... add routes to express app
`

CommonJS Equivalent

`javascript
const { LoggerMiddleware } = require('@byu-oit/express-logger')

const app = Express()

app.use(LoggerMiddleware())
`




Any requests to the express server will then write logs that look like:
`json
{
"level":"info",
"time":1617128842026,
"req":{
"id":"Root=1-abcde",
"method":"GET",
"url":"/persons/123456789",
"remoteAddress":"::1"
},"res":{
"statusCode":200
},
"responseTime":168,
"message":"request completed"
}
`

$3


This middleware will attach the Pino logger to the request object, so if needed you can access the logger like:
`typescript
app.use(LoggerMiddleware())

app.get('/foo', (req, res) => {
req.log.debug('Inside the /foo route')
res.send('hello world')
})
`

Options

Any pinoHttp options can be overridden, but for compliance with our logging standards, we recommend sticking to the defaults provided in this package.

$3

`typescript
app.use(LoggerMiddleware({
level: 'trace'
}))
`

Note: If you provide your own logger please use the @byu-oit/logger to ensure you follow the logging standards.

`typescript
import DefaultLogger from '@byu-oit/logger'

const myLogger = DefaultLogger()

app.use(LoggerMiddleware({
logger: myLogger
}))
