Refer Log level from RFC 5424

Level	Status Type - Severity
0	Emergency: system is unusable
1	Alert: action must be taken immediately
2	Critical: critical conditions
3	Error: error conditions
4	Warning: warning conditions
5	Notice: normal but significant condition
6	Informational: informational messages
7	Debug: debug-level messages

Currently using only error, debug, notice and info with the following use cases

logger.log - something to log to console but need not be stored - keep these minimal

logger.debug - Should contain only useful information that might be required for debugging post-mortem

logger.error - If any error condition is met log it

logger.access - should not be used for anything else except access logs - more over not required by dev

Instructions

1. Prefer string templates over concatenation

Minor details

app.enable('trust proxy') - used to get correct values for client ip, protocol and setting them in req - also used for session cookie because we are behind proxy/nginx

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true })) - uses qs to process complex data structures if any

Solve these

Move nodemonConfig into package.json

Known issues

babel --copy-files doesn't seem to copy scss files for production - Wait for babel v7 that will fix it
