How can I use "config.colorize" in my custom formatter?

I want to be able to add color in my custom formatter, how can I call the “colorize” method to add color to me logging message?

in common.js

var util = require('util'),
  ...
  config = require('./config');

  ...

  output = timestamp ? timestamp + ' - ' : '';
  if (showLevel) {
    output += options.colorize === 'all' || options.colorize === 'level' || options.colorize === true
      ? config.colorize(options.level)
      : options.level;
  }

but within the formatter we don’t have access to it ? Am I right ?

var transport = new (winston.transports.Console)(
    colorize: true
    prettyPrint: true
    formatter: (options) ->
      # Return string will be passed to logger.
      formatted = '## [' + options.timestamp().format() + ']' +
          '[' +config.colorize(options.level.toUpperCase()) + ']' + # <--------

           ...

      return formatted
  )

Instead of var config = require(winston/lib/winston/config);

Try this it works well for me

var formatterFunc = function (options) { return winston.config.colorize(options.level,options.level.toUpperCase()) + “: [” + this.timestamp() +"| " + options.meta.codePath + "] " + options.message + " " + JSON.stringify(options.meta); };

Using @somnathpanja ‘s solution and still make it possible to use colorize option: `var myLogFormatter = function (options) { var formatted = options.timestamp() + ’ [’ + options.level.toUpperCase() + '] ’ + (options.message ? options.message : ‘’) + (options.meta && Object.keys(options.meta).length ? ‘\n\t’ + JSON.stringify(options.meta) : ‘’); return options.colorize ? winston.config.colorize(options.level, formatted) : formatted; }

const myLogger = new (winston.Logger)({ transports: [ // colorize the output to the console new (winston.transports.Console)({ timestamp: tsFormat, formatter: myLogFormatter, colorize: true, level: ‘debug’ }), new (winston.transports.File)({ filename: ${logDir}/results.log, timestamp: tsFormat, formatter: myLogFormatter, level: env === ‘development’ ? ‘debug’ : ‘info’ }) ] });`
