@openreplay/tracker-fetch v3.6.2
Fetch plugin for OpenReplay
This plugin allows you to capture fetch
payloads and inspect them later on while replaying session recordings. This is very useful for understanding and fixing issues.
Installation
npm i @openreplay/tracker-fetch
Usage
Use the provided fetch
method from the plugin instead of the one built-in.
If your website is a Single Page Application (SPA)
import tracker from '@openreplay/tracker';
import trackerFetch from '@openreplay/tracker-fetch';
const tracker = new OpenReplay({
projectKey: PROJECT_KEY
});
const fetch = tracker.use(trackerFetch(options)); // check list of available options below
tracker.start();
fetch('https://myapi.com/').then(response => console.log(response.json()));
If your web app is Server-Side-Rendered (SSR)
Follow the below example if your app is SSR. Ensure tracker.start()
is called once the app is started (in useEffect
or componentDidMount
).
import OpenReplay from '@openreplay/tracker/cjs';
import trackerFetch from '@openreplay/tracker-fetch/cjs';
const tracker = new OpenReplay({
projectKey: PROJECT_KEY
});
const fetch = tracker.use(trackerFetch(options)); // check list of available options below
//...
function MyApp() {
useEffect(() => { // use componentDidMount in case of React Class Component
tracker.start();
fetch('https://myapi.com/').then(response => console.log(response.json()));
}, [])
//...
}
Options
trackerFetch({
overrideGlobal: boolean;
failuresOnly: boolean;
sessionTokenHeader: string;
ignoreHeaders: Array<string> | boolean;
sanitiser: (RequestResponseData) => RequestResponseData | null;
})
overrideGlobal
: Overrides the defaultwindow.fetch
. Default:false
.failuresOnly
: Captures requests having 4xx-5xx HTTP status code. Default:false
.sessionTokenHeader
: In case you have enabled some of our backend integrations (i.e. Sentry), you can use this option to specify the header name (i.e. 'X-OpenReplay-SessionToken'). This latter gets appended automatically to each fetch request to contain the OpenReplay sessionToken's value. Default:undefined
.ignoreHeaders
: Helps define a list of headers you don't wish to capture. Set its value tofalse
to capture all of them (true
if none). Default:['Cookie', 'Set-Cookie', 'Authorization']
so sensitive headers won't be captured.sanitiser
: Sanitise sensitive data from fetch request/response or ignore request comletely. You can redact fields on the request object by modifying then returning it from the function:
interface RequestData {
body: BodyInit | null | undefined; // whatewer you've put in the init.body in fetch(url, init)
headers: Record<string, string>;
}
interface ResponseData {
body: string | Object | null; // Object if response is of JSON type
headers: Record<string, string>;
}
interface RequestResponseData {
readonly status: number;
readonly method: string;
url: string;
request: RequestData;
response: ResponseData;
}
sanitiser: (data: RequestResponseData) => { // sanitise the body or headers
if (data.url === "/auth") {
data.request.body = null
}
if (data.request.headers['x-auth-token']) { // can also use ignoreHeaders option instead
data.request.headers['x-auth-token'] = 'SANITISED';
}
// Sanitise response
if (data.status < 400 && data.response.body.token) {
data.response.body.token = "<TOKEN>"
}
return data
}
// OR
sanitiser: data => { // ignore requests that start with /secure
if (data.url.startsWith("/secure")) {
return null
}
return data
}
// OR
sanitiser: data => { // sanitise request url: replace all numbers
data.url = data.url.replace(/\d/g, "*")
return data
}
