libhoney-promise

A wrapper for libhoney-js that provides support for sending events with a promises api

Installation

libhoney-promise specifies libhoney as a peer dependency, so you must also have libhoney installed in your project.

You can install both using npm:

npm install libhoney libhoney-promise --save

Using yarn:

yarn add libhoney libhoney-promise

Usage

const { createHoneyClient } = require("libhoney-promise");

const honeyClient = createHoneyClient({
  writeKey: "<YOUR WRITE KEY>",
  dataset: "<YOUR DATASET NAME>"
});

honeyClient
  .sendEventNow({
    service_name: "API",
    name: "get-foo",
    "trace.span_id": "span1234",
    "trace.trace_id": "trace1234",
    duration_ms: 145,
    timestamp: "2019-02-26T11:22:26.093Z"
  })
  .then(response => {
    console.log(response);
  });

createHoneyClient takes the same options as the libhoney constructor, and returns a object with a single method for sending event data named sendEventNow.

sendEventNow

Accepts a single data argument that is passed to a Libhoney event object.

If the data object has a timestamp, @timestamp, or Timestamp key, it will override the event timestamp.

Will return a Promise that is resolved when the event is successfully transmitted to the service. The promise is also resolved if the event was dropped because of sampling. The promise will be rejected if it was unable to be transmitted to the service, either by being throttled by the Libhoney client or by an unsuccessful response from the service.

Contributing

Pull requests are welcome. For major changes, please open an issue first to discuss what you would like to change.

Please make sure to update tests as appropriate

Running tests

The tests do not mock out honeycomb.io so you will need to provide your writeKey and dataset to the tests through environment variables. Create a .env file in the root of the project like so:

HONEYCOMBIO_WRITE_KEY=<YOUR WRITE KEY>
HONEYCOMBIO_DATASET=libhoney-js-promise-test

Then you can run the tests using npm:

npm test
