How to use middleware function to get the current URL and the date in Node.js and Express

Answer 1

const express = require('express');
const moment = require('moment'); // Install moment before (npm i moment)
   
const app = express();
 
// create middleware function 
const mwf = (req, res, next) => {
    console.log(`${req.protocol}://${req.get('host')}${req.originalUrl}: ${moment().format()}`);
    next();
}
// Init middleware function
app.use(mwf);
 
  
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
    res.send('Response')
})
   
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 8080;
   
app.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`Server started on port ${PORT}`));
   
 
  
  
/*
run:
   
Server started on port 8080
