   "topcoder-error-logger": "topcoder-platform/topcoder-error-logger.git"

2. Create an instance of this wrapper with the configuration variables listed below

   const errorLogger = require('topcoder-error-logger')
   const logger = errorLogger(_.pick(config,
         ['LOG_LEVEL', 'AUTH0_URL', 'AUTH0_AUDIENCE', 'TOKEN_CACHE_TIME',
           'AUTH0_CLIENT_ID', 'AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET', 'BUSAPI_URL',
           'KAFKA_ERROR_TOPIC', 'AUTH0_PROXY_SERVER_URL', 'KAFKA_MESSAGE_ORIGINATOR',
           'POST_KAFKA_ERROR_ENABLED', 'LENGTH_OF_ARRAY_TO_HIDE']))

   Configuration / Environment variables:

   • LOG_LEVEL: the log level, default is 'debug' if not passing
   • AUTH0_URL: the auth0 url
   • AUTH0_AUDIENCE: the auth0 audience
   • TOKEN_CACHE_TIME: the token cache time, it is optional field.
   • AUTH0_CLIENT_ID: the auth0 client id, used as credential
   • AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET: the auth0 client secret, used as credential
   • BUSAPI_URL: the Topcoder bus api base url.
   • KAFKA_ERROR_TOPIC: the error topic used when posting Kafka event
   • KAFKA_MESSAGE_ORIGINATOR: the Kafka message originator

3. logFullError and error function in this module will return a promise, Handling promises is at the caller end. Call the functions with appropriate arguments. Other functions are normal function.

E.g.

logger
  .error('this is an message')
  .then(() => {})
  .catch(err => console.log(err))

await logger.error(new Error('this is an error'))

await logFullError(new Error('this is an error'), 'testMethod')

const addFunction = async (a, b) => { return a + b }
addFunction.schema = {
  a: Joi.number().integer().min(0).required(),
  b: Joi.number().integer().min(0).required()
}
const service = {
  add: addFunction
}

logger.buildService(service)

await service.add(1, 2)

Refer index.js for the list of available functions
