winston-request-logger

Winston http request logger for express which is loosely based on express-request-logger.

![Build Status](http://travis-ci.org/wolfeidau/winston-request-logger)

Getting Started

In an existing express project you can add the following configuration fragment to enable request logging to console,
with colors while in development or test.

``javascript app.configure('development', 'test', function(){ // Request Logging var logger = new (winston.Logger)({ transports: [ new (winston.transports.Console)({colorize:true}) ] }); app.use(require('winston-request-logger').create(logger)); });`

`Custom formats`


You can optionally specify a second argument to

create(logger, [format]) to customize the object sent to Winston:

`javascript app.use(require('winston-request-logger').create(logger, { 'responseTime': ':responseTime ms', // outputs '5 ms' 'url': ':url[pathname]' // outputs '/some/path' }));`
