Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

This module provides a useful helper to save structured logs in the stdout. Versions greater or equal to 2.x of this module are recommended for Back-end applications and not for Web clients. See CHANGELOG for further information.

Structured logs are really important to process them in Splunk.

Compatibility

Starting from version 3.x.x, the minimum supported version of Node.js is v14.16.x.

How to use it

To use the library you just need to follow the following steps:

  1. Install the library with npm
npm install @condor-labs/logger
  1. Import the library:
const logger = require("@condor-labs/logger");

Examples

index.js

try {
    const logger = require('@condor-labs/logger');
    console.log('-------------------');
    logger.debug({ y: 1, z: 2 });
    console.log('-------------------');
    logger.info({ a: 1, b: 2 });
    console.log('-------------------');
    logger.warn('My text...');
    console.log('-------------------');
    logger.error(Error("my error"));
    console.log('-------------------');
    logger.error('THIS IS SIMPLE TEXT', {name: "my name", country:"Colombia"}, Error("This is an error"));
    console.log('-------------------');
    const arr = [{}, 1, 2];
    arr[0].arr = arr;
    // ⛔️ TypeError: Converting circular structure to JSON
    logger.fatal(arr);
} catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
}

Logging Error objects

Error objects are special objects that needs extra handling. We recommend to logs errors instances in this way:

const logger = require('@condor-labs/logger');

const veryImportantData = { key: '1A2B3C', client: 'my_client' };

try {
    // Runs my code and throws an error
    throw new Error('Unauthorized');
} catch (error) {
    // OK
    logger.error('ERROR_DURING_AUTHORIZATION', error, { veryImportantData });
    // NOT RECOMMENDED
    logger.error('ERROR_DURING_AUTHORIZATION', { error, veryImportantData });
}

Output (this output is formatted for reading purposes. In runtime, it will be printed as one-line JSON):

/*
OK:
{
  "level": "ERROR",
  "time": 1676986542037,
  "pid": 29461,
  "hostname": "MyPC.local",
  "arg1": "ERROR_DURING_AUTHORIZATION",
  "arg2": {
    "message": "Unauthorized",
    "stack": "Error: Unauthorized
        at Object.<anonymous> (/.../index.js:30:11)
        at Module._compile (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1155:14)
        at Object.Module._extensions..js (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1209:10)
        at Module.load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1033:32)
        at Function.Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:868:12)
        at Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain] (node:internal/modules/run_main:81:12)
        at node:internal/main/run_main_module:22:47"
  },
  "arg3": { "veryImportantData": { "key": "1A2B3C", "client": "my_client" } }
}

NOT RECOMMENDED WAY:
{
  "level": "ERROR",
  "time": 1676986691805,
  "pid": 29631,
  "hostname": "MyPC.local",
  "arg1": "ERROR_DURING_AUTHORIZATION",
  "arg2": {
    "error": {},
    "veryImportantData": { "key": "1A2B3C", "client": "my_client" }
  }
}
*/

Notice that error in arg2 is printed as an empty object.

Features

  • Set your env LOGGER_DEBUG_MODE = 1 to show the debug messages ( logger.debug({ y: 1, z: 2 });) otherwise those message won't appear in console.
  • Import loggerMiddleware from the logger and set it as middleware of your ExpressJS server:
const logger = require('@condor-labs/logger');
const { loggerMiddleware } = logger;
...
app.use(loggerMiddleware());

This middleware is a function that instances the pino-http module for ExpressJS-based servers. Check the docs for further information.

How to Publish

Generate lib files using babel

Once your contribution is done in the files of folder src/logger/, run npm run build. This will generate a transpilated version of your changes on folder lib/, that contains the file exported as the logger library. then, move to the next step to publish.

Increasing package version

You will need to update the package.json file placed in the root folder.

identify the property version and increase the right number in plus one.

Login in NPM by console.

 npm login
 [Enter username]
 [Enter password]
 [Enter email]

If all is ok the console will show you something like this : Logged in as USERNAME on https://registry.npmjs.org/.

Uploading a new version

 npm publish --access public
