Winston: TypeError: logger.child is not a function

Created on 18 Jan 2019 · 3Comments · Source: winstonjs/winston

Please tell us about your environment:

_winston version?_
- [ ] winston@2
- [x] winston@3
_node -v outputs: v10.15.0
_Operating System? macOS
_Language? ES5/6

What is the problem?

const winston = require('winston');

const logger = winston.createLogger({
  transports: [new winston.transports.Console()],
});
logger.info('logger ok.');

const childLogger = logger.child({ test: 'test value' });
childLogger.info('child logger ok');

What do you expect to happen instead?

{"message":"logger ok.","level":"info"}
{"message":"child logger ok.","level":"info"}
