npm install apitally

or

yarn add apitally

Usage

Our comprehensive setup guides include all the details you need to get started.

Express

This is an example of how to use the Apitally middleware with an Express application. For further instructions, see our setup guide for Express.

const express = require("express");
const { useApitally } = require("apitally/express");

const app = express();
app.use(express.json());

useApitally(app, {
  clientId: "your-client-id",
  env: "dev", // or "prod" etc.
});

NestJS

This is an example of how to use the Apitally middleware with a NestJS application. For further instructions, see our setup guide for NestJS.

Note: Currently only NestJS applications that use Express as the underlying HTTP server are supported (the default).

const { NestFactory } = require("@nestjs/core");
const { useApitally } = require("apitally/nestjs");
const { AppModule } = require("./app.module");

const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule);
const expressInstance = app.getHttpAdapter().getInstance();

useApitally(expressInstance, {
  clientId: "your-client-id",
  env: "dev", // or "prod" etc.
});

Fastify

This is an example of how to register the Apitally plugin with a Fastify application. For further instructions, see our setup guide for Fastify.

The Apitally plugin requires the fastify-plugin package to be installed.

npm install fastify-plugin

const fastify = require("fastify")({ logger: true });
const { apitallyPlugin } = require("apitally/fastify");

fastify.register(apitallyPlugin, {
  clientId: "your-client-id",
  env: "dev", // or "prod" etc.
});

// Wrap your routes in a plugin, so Apitally can detect them
fastify.register((instance, opts, done) => {
  instance.get("/", (request, reply) => {
    reply.send("hello");
  });
  done();
});

Note: If your project uses ES modules you can use await fastify.register(...) and don't need to wrap your routes in a plugin. See the Fastify V4 migration guide for more details.

Koa

This is an example of how to use the Apitally middleware with a Koa application. For further instructions, see our setup guide for Koa.

const Koa = require("koa");
const { useApitally } = require("apitally/koa");

const app = new Koa();

useApitally(app, {
  clientId: "your-client-id",
  env: "dev", // or "prod" etc.
});
