Winston logging object

Question

I use Winston for my backend logging I cannot log the object without using JSON.stringify which is annoying

logger.debug(`Register ${JSON.stringify(         


        

Answer 1

My solution was to use this kind of formatter:

const { format } = winston
const consoleFormat = format.combine(
  format.prettyPrint(),
  format.splat(),
  format.printf((info) => {
    if (typeof info.message === 'object') {
      info.message = JSON.stringify(info.message, null, 3)
    }

    return info.message
  })
)

now all those options works as expected:

logger.info('plain text')
logger.info('plain text with object %o', { a:1, b: 2} )
logger.info({ a:1, b: 2 })
