Please add your current code.

Making a logger configurable means that it should be a function that returns another function.

Something like this:

export const logger = (configString) => (req, res, next) => {
...
}

Im also stuck on this part. I dont know if i have to use recursivity at this point or i'm in the right way.[upl-image-preview

Imakheri configString is a string, not an object! It will never match getFormattedDate or req.method.

Take a look at an example in the task description. You should be searching for specific substrings in configString.

Coderslang_Master I'm not really understanding from where configString is coming from. When i try to do a console.log(configString) i get an undefined. ¿Do i have to import it?

This is my "middleware.js" file...

`import { getFormattedDate } from "./functions.js";

export const logger = (configString) => (req, res, next) => {
console.log(configString)
next();
}`

Imakheri The config string is passed into the logger function as a parameter.

Here's how you'll use it in server.js:

server.use(logger(':date :method :url'));

The config string here is ':date :method :url'
