options

chroma accepts options argument as a function or an object. Right now chroma has only one option call transporter which can be provided either by passing function or an object with transporter key. Transporter is for change chrona's default transporter(where to show log messages) which is console.log.

Use Custom Transporter

// If you want to go with default format string, then just pass
// empty string or null
app.use(chrona(null, function(str, args) => {
    // pass str and args to your own transporter like winston etc.
}))
