Using pino-noir with bunyan

[nkhil]

I can't find much documentation on using pino-noir with bunyan. Does Bunyan have an opinion on this?

I'm asking as the way Bunyan serializers do redaction seems a bit incomplete to me. For eg:

const REDACTED = '<REDACTED>';

function reqSerializer(req) {
  if(!req) return req;
  return {
    ...bunyan.stdSerializers.req(req),
    password: REDACTED,
    someProp: REDACTED,
  }
}

If the request does not contain the someProp property, it will still get logged as <REDACTED>. Whereas using pino-noir like so works like a charm i.e. it doesn't log any properties as redacted when it does not exist in the req object.

const redactionKeys = {
  keys: [ 'firstName', 'password']
}

bunyan.createLogger({
  name: 'some_name',
  serializers: noir(bunyan.stdSerializers, redactionKeys.keys),
})

Is it possible that bunyan might drop support for pino-noir in the future? or rather, can I depend on this integration working in the future?
