@useoptic/optic-node-sdk v0.0.5

@useoptic/optic-node-sdk

The code library standardizing data capture for Optic in Node applications. We have a list of middleware available for some frameworks, if we are missing the framework join our community and suggest the next framework or develop it with us.

Requirements

The library requires @useoptic/cli to be installed, instructions on installing it are available https://www.useoptic.com/docs/.

Intsall

npm install @useoptic/optic-node-sdk

Usage

The library takes a configuration object and captures traffic in the background as long as @useoptic/cli is installed.

Configuration

All options are optional for easier configuration in your application

• enabled: boolean (defaults to false) Programmatically control if capturing data and sending it to Optic
• uploadUrl: string (defaults to process.env.OPTIC_LOGGING_URL) The URL to Optics capture URL, if left blank it will expect OPTIC_LOGGING_URL environment variable set by the Optic CLI
• console: boolean (defaults to false) Send to stdout/console for debugging
• framework: string (defaults to '') Additional information to inform Optic of where it is capturing information

Example

Using the default http server within Node

const Optic = require('@useoptic/optic-node-sdk');
const http = require('http');

const optic = new Optic({
  enabled: true
});

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  optic.captureHttpRequest(req, res);
  res.writeHead(200);
  res.end();
});

const port = 3000;
const host = 'localhost';
server.listen(port, host, () => {
  console.log(`Listen http://${host}:${port}`);
});

To start capturing data from the SDK, run your application with

api exec "node <your example file>"
