How to stop verbose output to the console

I have lite-server setup in package.json:

"scripts": {
    "start": "concurrently \"npm run tsc:w\" \"npm run scss:w\" \"npm run lite\" ",
    "tsc": "tsc --inlineSourceMap --allowSyntheticDefaultImports -outDir .build/js",
    "tsc:w": "tsc -w --inlineSourceMap --allowSyntheticDefaultImports -outDir .build/js",
    "scss": "node-sass --include-path styles/app.scss .build/css/app.css",
    "scss:w": "node-sass -w --include-path styles styles/app.scss .build/css/app.css",
    "lite": "lite-server -c bs-config.json",
    "typings": "typings",
    "postinstall": "typings install"
  },

with the following bs-config.json file:

{
    "notify": false,
    "files": ["./.build/css/*.css", "./.build/js/**/*.js", "./app/**/*.{html,css}", "index.html"],
    "injectChanges": true,
    "logLevel": "silent",
    "debugInfo": false,
    "ghostMode": false,
     "server": { "baseDir": "." }
}

Upon starting I see that the bs-config.json configuration is written to te console:

** browser-sync config **
[2] { injectChanges: true,
[2]   files: 
[2]    [ './.build/css/*.css',
[2]      './.build/js/**/*.js',
[2]      './app/**/*.{html,css}',
[2]      'index.html' ],
[2]   watchOptions: { ignored: 'node_modules' },
[2]   server: { baseDir: '.', middleware: [ [Function], [Function] ] },
[2]   notify: false,
[2]   logLevel: 'silent',
[2]   debugInfo: false,
[2]   ghostMode: false }
[0] 8:02:46 AM - Compilation complete. Watching for file changes.

Since the logLevel is set to silent, I expect to see very little info in the console. However, each and every get is displayed:

[2] 16.04.23 08:02:50 200 GET /index.html
[2] 16.04.23 08:02:50 304 GET /node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css
[2] 16.04.23 08:02:50 304 GET /node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css
[2] 16.04.23 08:02:50 304 GET /node_modules/ng2-notify/dist/css/ng2notify.css
[2] 16.04.23 08:02:50 304 GET /.build/css/app.css
[2] 16.04.23 08:02:50 304 GET /node_modules/es6-shim/es6-shim.min.js
[2] 16.04.23 08:02:50 304 GET /node_modules/angular2/bundles/angular2-polyfills.js
[2] 16.04.23 08:02:50 304 GET /node_modules/systemjs/dist/system-polyfills.js
[2] 16.04.23 08:02:50 304 GET /node_modules/angular2/es6/dev/src/testing/shims_for_IE.js
[2] 16.04.23 08:02:50 304 GET /node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js
[2] 16.04.23 08:02:50 304 GET /node_modules/rxjs/bundles/Rx.js
[2] 16.04.23 08:02:50 304 GET /node_modules/angular2/bundles/angular2.dev.js
etc...

Environment

• lite-server version: 2.2.0
• nodejs version: 5.7.1
• npm version: 3.8.0
• OS type/version: OSX

If you do not want to see all HTTP requests, you will need to disable the logging middleware as described in README.md.

So in stead of a bs-config.json , use a bs-config.js file like this one:

module.exports = {
  logLevel: "silent",
  server: {
    middleware: {
      0: null
    }
  }
};

the 0:null clears out the first middleware, which is the logger. You might still want to set the logLevel to “silent” or “debug” as well, since browsersync by itself can be quite verbose as well

Personally I wanted to keep the middleware logger, but hide the success response. So I finally use npm start |grep -v "200" |grep -v "304"
