✅ Ability to customise or disable the default request logger

[crgeary]

We would like the ability to customise the incoming request logger middleware as we already handle this with a custom middleware. It looks like the only way to do this is to create a child logger that either sets a null action on debug() or uses a regex to match and skip that log, which is not ideal.

I've looked here, and don't think there is a way around it:
https://github.com/RobinTail/express-zod-api/blob/master/express-zod-api/src/server.ts#L57

I'd like to have either:

1. The ability to disable the default logging middleware
2. The ability to pass in a custom middleware to replace the default one

Option 2 would be my personal preference for greater flexibility, and would also provide an alternative solution for #2365 too. What do you think of such a feature?

Thanks :)

Do I understand correctly that the your concern regarding the logging middleware is related to the following line and I'd like it not to be there for your situation, @crgeary ?

express-zod-api/express-zod-api/src/server-helpers.ts

Line 136 in 9e880ae

logger.debug(`${request.method}: ${request.path}`);

Yes that is correct @RobinTail.

I would prefer to remove it without a regex match in our logger.

I will make an option to disable or configure it in #2521, @crgeary
Can't make the whole loggingMiddleware replaceable, because it has an important purpose of dealing with child loggers.

v22.13.0, @crgeary

import { createConfig } from "express-zod-api";

const config = createConfig({
  accessLogger: (request, logger) => logger.info(request.path), // or null to disable
});

Incredible, thank you!
