Make propertyNames configurable

[gian1200]

I'd be nice to have the property names editable/configurable on demand.

It'd let the users rename them to something like this:

• "time" to "timestamp"
• "msg" to "message"
• "category" to "logger" or "loggerName"

Great idea! Go ahead and open a PR if you're up for it.

Hi, it seems to also be failing to skip printing some information, or printing it in an undesirable way.

In the meantime I'm going to build my own layout adapter, but in case I have extra time will do the PR.

Could you clarify what you mean by 'failing'? Are you referring to specific output that shouldn't be printed, or formatting issues?

[gian1200]

A little bit of both. I don't have my PC at hand, but it didn't print something that I expected to see in the logs. I had issues when passing multiple objects to the "logger.info()", some of those were arrays, object with arrays or arrays of objects with arrays. Some of those included an axios error.

Printing the same objects with "console.log" showed more info than the logger with this jsonlayout.

@gian1200 just wanted to check in to see if you're still interested in contributing

Willingness is always there. However I might not be able to do it in the near future (due to time constraints).

If someone else has the availability, they can take the activity.
