Hi,

Recently I was working on one of my express app projects, and I had a need to log all data from morgan npm package to the database. So I found out there are some npm packages available to do it, but I had to create one of my own.

The package is named mongoose-morgan, here is a link to it.

So mongoose-morgan is an npm package express middleware which is combining mongoose and morgan packages by adding an additional functionality to log morgan data into MongoDB.

To install it just call:

npm install mongoose-morgan

And to use it with all of its features just add this code into your express app.

app.use(morgan({
    collection: 'error_logger'
    connectionString: 'mongodb://localhost:27017/logs-db',
    user: 'admin',
    pass: 'test12345'
   },
   {
    skip: function (req, res) {
        return res.statusCode < 400
    }
   },
   'dev'
));

The more important is that you have all available features from morgan package like format and options features, so you can select whatever you want.
