Improvement: Winston + Morgan Logging Setup (#1285)

This setup provides a production-ready logging solution for Express apps, using Winston for application-level logging and Morgan for HTTP request logging.

🗂 Folder Structure

src/
├── logger/
│   ├── winston.js             # Winston configuration
│   ├── morgan.js              # Morgan HTTP logger
├── middlewares/
│   └── logging.middleware.js  # Attach req.logger and Morgan
├── middlewares/error.handler.js  # Global error handler using Winston - i updated this 
├── server.js        # Main server entry - used here  - loggingMiddleware(server)
  

Notes:

• logs/ folder is auto-created on first run
• error.log → contains only error-level logs
• combined.log → contains all logs

⚡ Features

• ✅ Automatic logs folder creation if missing
• ✅ Request-level logging via Morgan + Winston
• ✅ Error logging in both console and log files
• ✅ Production-ready (different log levels for dev/prod)
• ✅ Non-breaking modular middleware

🛠 Installation / Usage

1. Install dependencies (if not installed yet):

   npm install winston morgan
         

2. <li>
     <strong>Use request logger in routes</strong>:
     <pre>
   

   app.get('/', (req, res) => {
   req.logger.info('Home route accessed!')
   res.send('Logging system working perfectly 🚀')
   })

   ⚙️ Logging Behavior

   Log Type	File	Notes
   Console	N/A	Visible in terminal (colorized in dev)
   Error	logs/error.log	Only error-level logs
   Combined	logs/combined.log	All logs (info, warn, error, etc.)
   HTTP Requests	Routed via Morgan	Forwarded to Winston
