Param str is output string, args.join(' ') Param args is a array by [logTime, format, method, url, status, time], when opt.logTime is false, logTime = ''

const http = require('http')

...
app.use(logger({
  unless: ['/ignorepath'],
  logTime: false,
  // custom logger
  // add short description of status code
  logger (str, args) {
    if (args.length === 6) {
      // response logger
      args[4] = args[4] + ' ' + http.STATUS_CODES[args[4]]
      console.log(...args)
    }
  }
}))
