[QUESTION] How to use Pino for entire application with configuration options?

Hi!

First of all, thanks for this module, it is really appreciated.

I am trying to use Pino Logger throughout the application; perhaps I am wrong about it, but what I am doing is to add the following code to app.module.ts:

@Module({
    imports: [
        ConfigModule.forRoot(),
        LoggerModule.forRoot({
            pinoHttp: { prettyPrint: true, useLevelLabels: true }, // <--
        }),
        // ...
    ],
    // ...
})
export class AppModule {}

And, in main.ts:

import { NestFactory } from '@nestjs/core';
import { Logger } from 'nestjs-pino';

async function bootstrap() {
  // Create the application.
  const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule, { logger: false });

  // Get Pino Logger instance.
  const logger = app.get(Logger);

  // Use Pino as the main logger!
  app.useLogger(logger);

  // Start the server!
  await app.listen(3030);
}

// Initialize application!
bootstrap();

The issue is that, if I import LoggerModule and call forRoot (or forRootAsync by injecting ConfigService etc), without any Pino options (prettyPrint or useLevelLabels) it works perfectly, however when adding even one option, it hangs the entire application without even booting!

1. Is this the way to use the Logger throughout the Application?
2. If it is, am I providing configuration options in a wrong format?

I would like to use Pino as the main logging system for the entire application, no exclusions.

I am using NestJS v7.

Again, thanks for this library! And thanks in advance for any commentary this might receive 😃

Thank you very much @iamolegga ! Sorry to miss that part of the docs! Guess I just read this package ones and not the pino itself ones! Really sorry about this. Thanks for quick response and guidance 😃

Hey @humbertowoody just found the problem. When using prettyPrint property you need extra installation of pino-pretty as it said in docs 🙂
