Passing options to "morgan" in launch

[alonisser]

appolo-express uses morgan (in launcher) while in development for req, res logging. Since We need to override some verbose logging, I would like to pass a parameter/option to morgan when I call Apollo launch (or whatever.. ) - in this case a function for the skip param morgan is accepting. Is there a way to do that without forking appolo and hard coding this :(

you can set in app launcher loadDefaultConfigurations:false and then load express modules by your self in config/express this is what is loaded by appolo:

        app.set('showStackError', true);
        app.use(compression({level: 9}));

        app.engine('html', consolidate[this._options.templateEngine]);

        app.set('view engine', 'html');

        app.set('views', path.join(this._options.root, this._options.viewsFolder));

        app.enable('jsonp callback');

        app.use(expressValidator());

        app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
            extended: true
        }));

        if (fs.existsSync(this._options.publicFolder + '/favicon.ico')) {
            app.use(favicon(this._options.publicFolder + '/favicon.ico'));
        }

        app.use(bodyParser.json())

        app.use(multer({dest: path.join(this._options.root, this._options.uploadsFolder)}));

        app.use(methodOverride());

        app.use(cookieParser());

        app.use(flash());

        app.use(express.static(path.join(this._options.root, this._options.publicFolder)));

        if (appolo.environment.type === 'development') {
            app.use(morgan('dev'));
        }```

Please reopen: For your suggestion to work I need to have all appolo node modules dependencies loaded here as dependencies in my app, using appolo. which is quite strange.. (see the example below)

I think providing a configurable interface to express middlewares would be a better idea.

If some one bumps into this issue: you can hack around this using this code (in config/express):

var morgan = require('../../node_modules/appolo-express/node_modules/morgan');

    if (appolo.environment.name == 'development') {
        _.forEach(app._router.stack, function (route, idx) {
            if (route.name == 'logger') {
                app._router.stack.splice(idx, 1);
                return true;
            }
        });

        app.use(morgan('dev', {
            skip: function (req, res) {
                return _.any(_.map(notLoggedRoutes, function(path) {
                    return _.startsWith(req.url, path);
                }));
            }
        }));
    }
