How to get the OriginURL using morgan and winston.js format in nodejs?

I'm trying to get the originalURL from the message attribute using winston.js and morgan in a nodejs project (the code):

winstone.je

const { createLogger, format, transports } = require('winston');
const { combine, timestamp, label, printf } = format;

const myFormat = printf(({ level, message, label, timestamp }) => {
  return `${timestamp}  ${level}: ${message}`;
});

const logger = createLogger({
  format: combine(
    label({ label: 'right meow!' }),
    timestamp(),
    myFormat
  ),
  transports: [new transports.Console()]
});

app.js

app.use(morgan('combined', { stream: winston.stream }));

the output of is :

2019-03-12T13:35:50.112Z : ::1 - - [12/Mar/2019:13:35:50 +0000] "GET /api/bar/origin/000a  HTTP/1.1"

what I'm looking for is to get just this part : "GET /api/bar/origin/000a HTTP/1.1" without using substring or slice on the message attribute, Is there a way the get origineURL from myFormat const please ?

Solution

  • Well, based on the Morgan documentation you can change the output format either using a predefined format (combined, tiny, ...) or make your own which should look like app.use(morgan(':method :url HTTP/:http-version', { stream: winston.stream }));
