A express logger middleware powered by bunyan.

npm install express-bunyan-logger

To use the logger:

app.use(require('express-bunyan-logger')());

To use the errorLogger:

app.use(require('express-bunyan-logger').errorLogger());

And you can also pass bunyan logger options to the logger middleware:

app.use(require('express-bunyan-logger')({
    name: 'logger', 
    streams: [{
        level: 'info',
        stream: process.stdout
        }]
    }));

Change default format:

app.use(require('express-bunyan-logger')({
    format: ":remote-address - :user-agent[major] custom logger"
});

And a child logger will be attached to each request object:

app.use(require('express-bunyan-logger')();
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
    req.log.debug('this is debug in middleware');
    next();
});

Format string, please go the source code to the metadata. ":name" will print out meta.name; ":name[key]" will print out the property 'key' of meta.name.

Or you can pass a function to options.format. This function accept a object as argument and return string.

Whether to parse user-agent in logger, default is =true=.

Function that translate statusCode into log level.

function(status, err /* only will work in error logger */) {
     // return string of level
     return "info";
}

Array of string, Those fields will be excluded from meta object which passed to bunyan

Write log line on request instead of response (for response times)

By default, express-bunyan-logger will generate an unique id for each request, and a field 'req_id' will be added to child logger in request object.

If you have already use other middleware/framework to generate request id, you can pass a function to retrieve it:

// suppose connect-requestid middleware is already added.
app.use(require('express-bunyan-logger')({
    genReqId: function(req) {
       return req.id;
    }
});
