Recommended way for middleware + typescript

[gugahoi]

Just wondering what the recommended way to use this package's middleware with typescript. Is there a type to use for the request so that the compiler can understand the log calls? Currently I get the following error:

Do I need to extend the type definitions myself?

A little late but maybe of help still:

import {Logger} from '@google-cloud/logging-bunyan/build/src/middleware/express';

declare global {
  namespace Express {
    export interface Request {
      log: Logger;
    }
  }
}

This extends the request object of typescript globally.

Hi @gugahoi, yes you can extend the type definition yourself to use this middleware in typescript. At this moment, we don't export the extended Request type in this library.
