yarn install traceability
`

`
npm install traceability
`
Example Code
Logging the trackId in all methods
> File: index.js
`js
import * as traceability from 'traceability'
const levelRoot = () =>{
const {cid} = traceability.ContextAsyncHooks.getTrackId({})
traceability.ContextAsyncHooks.setContext({cid})
traceability.Logger.info('levelRoot');
level1()
}
const level1 = () =>{
traceability.Logger.info('level1');
level2();
}
const level2 = () =>{
traceability.Logger.info('level2');
}
levelRoot();
`
$3
`
{"message":"levelRoot","level":"info","cid":"6b1552d0-0db5-4d7d-8551-567847703fa6","timestamp":"2021-05-03T16:21:01.523Z"}
{"message":"level1","level":"info","cid":"6b1552d0-0db5-4d7d-8551-567847703fa6","timestamp":"2021-05-03T16:21:01.525Z"}
{"message":"level2","level":"info","cid":"6b1552d0-0db5-4d7d-8551-567847703fa6","timestamp":"2021-05-03T16:21:01.525Z"}
`
> NOTE: We can observe the same trackId value for all output messages.Changing the wiston configuration
`js
import { ContextAsyncHooks, Logger, LoggerTraceability } from 'traceability';
const conf = LoggerTraceability.getLoggerOptions();
conf.silent = true;
LoggerTraceability.configure(conf);
Logger.info('levelRoot');
`Using as a Express middleware
> File express.js (see examples directory)
`js
import express from 'express';
import { ContextAsyncHooks, Logger } from 'traceability';
const app = express();
const port = 3000;
ContextAsyncHooks.trackKey= ETrackKey['cid']
app.use(ContextAsyncHooks.getExpressMiddlewareTracking());
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
Logger.info('Hello World with trackId on server side!');
res.send('Hello World!');
});
app.listen(port, () => {
Logger.info(
Example app listening at http://localhost:${port});
});
`
Using as a Express middleware with traceparent propagator
> File express-traceparent.ts (see examples directory)
`js
import express from 'express';
import { ContextAsyncHooks, Logger } from 'traceability';
const app = express();
const port = 3000;
ContextAsyncHooks.trackKey= ETrackKey['cid']
app.use(ContextAsyncHooks.getExpressMiddlewareTracking({
responseHeaderPropagator: 'traceparent'
}));
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
Logger.info('Hello World with trackId on server side!');
res.send('Hello World!');
});
app.listen(port, () => {
Logger.info(
Example app listening at http://localhost:${port});
});
`
> When traceparent is enabled, the library will automatically generate and propagate the traceparent header in all outgoing requests, following the W3C Trace Context format:
traceparent: 00-$3
`
yarn ts-node ./express.ts
`
And after that we will see the following output:
`
{"message":"Example app listening at http://localhost:3000","level":"info","timestamp":"2021-04-10T19:01:33.337Z"}
`
$3
We will test the route usig curl cli.
> To install curl on linux: sudo apt-get install curlNow type the following command:
`
curl -i http://localhost:3000
`
> -i option will show you the header.
---
The output will look something like:On ClientSide:
`
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Connection: keep-alive

`On ServerSide:
`
{"message":"Hello World with trackId on server side!","level":"info","cid":"6ecf583a-7509-4ce3-baef-1fcbe94adc5c","timestamp":"2021-05-03T16:57:32.116Z"}
`

> NOTE: At the momennt, we can compare the cid values printed onn server side and on client side.Using as a Nest middleware - Global Middleware
First of all, follow the First Steps accessing the link NESTJS Oficial Docs. After that, just modify the
main.ts file as described bellow.> File main.ts (see examples directory)
`js
import { NestFactory } from '@nestjs/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';
import traceability from 'traceability';const middlewareTracking = traceability.ContextAsyncHooks.getExpressMiddlewareTracking();
async function bootstrap() {
const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule);
app.use(middlewareTracking);
await app.listen(3000);
}
bootstrap();
`Using methods from winston
Just destructure the necessary methods directly from traceability
`js
import {format, addColors} from 'traceability';`format and addColors comes from winstonKnown issues
## TypeError: async_hooks_1.AsyncLocalStorage is not a constructor:
`
this.asyncLocalStorage = new async_hooks_1.AsyncLocalStorage(); TypeError: async_hooks_1.AsyncLocalStorage is not a constructor
