Getting started with Pino logger - NodeJS Express | How to use Pino

I know I said in the least video that I wouldn't write down any descriptions b ut I didn't want to leave this section empty :) I really love using Pino and there aren't any videos on yt talking about it so I thought I'd make one.

good stuff

[@starlingwatch3921]

Thanks! Good video. Is there something that lets me browse Pino created logs from a browser? -Frank

[@richardbray]

Not to my knowledge. If you're using AWS you can do that through CloudWatch but this isn't an Pino feature.

[@FernandoBasso]

When we use Pino with Fastify, logging is delegated to worker threads. Does it also work like this if we use Pino with Express?

[@richardbray]

No I don't think is logs on a worker thread in Express by default. Although the video doesn't go through using the Pino Express specific plugin github.com/pinojs/express-pino-logger

[@alii4334]

I installed it long time ago, I couldn't get most of it, due to the complexity of the documentation. thank you for simpyfiying it.
I have a question Can we log info about the file name, line?

[@richardbray]

Thanks for your compliments 😊
It's a good question and not something I've looked into before. I haven't seen it in others loggers I've used so I don't know how possible it is but I'm honestly not sure 🤷

[@alexandervashchuk7795]

How did you get terminal intellisense at 2:47 ?

[@richardbray]

That's a vscode extension called Error Lens

[@Dracometeor562]

how to log both on nodejs console and on text file ?

[@richardbray]

This is a good question. If you're using AWS or something you get that automatically with cloudwatch but locally you might need something like this github.com/pinojs/pino-tee

@@richardbray Hi Richard, Appreciated your help to me, thank you !!. however i have tried it and it did not behave correctly.
i have created info.log and error.log, and tried it.
The error log is go to error.log which is correct. however, the text for error.log is at info.log as well.
Technically, the logs for info.log has twice, the one for error and the one for info.

[@Dracometeor562]

In a nutshell, here's the example:
error.log -> TEST error
info.log -> TEST error TEST info
