How to do it...

Let's build a working example. We will include the morgan configurable middleware function with the dev format to display information of every request.

1. Create a new file named morgan-logger.js
2. Initialize a new ExpressJS application:

      const express = require('express') 
      const morgan = require('morgan') 
      const app = express() 

1. Include the morgan configurable middleware. Pass 'dev' as the format we will use as the first argument to the middleware function:

      app.use(morgan('dev')) 

1. Define a route method to handle all GET requests:

      app.get('*', (request, response, next) => { 
          response.send('Hello Morgan!') 
      }) 

1. Listen on port 1337 for new connections:

      app.listen( 
          1337, 
          () => console.log('Web Server running on port 1337'), 
     ) 

1. Save the file
2. Open a terminal and run:

       node morgan-logger.js

1. To see the result in your terminal, in your web browser, navigate to:

        http://localhost:1337/
        http://localhost:1337/example
