basic-event-diagnostics v0.0.1

Simple Event Diagnostics

A small node library to track the number of events within a specified time window.

Getting Started

This library exports a single class called Tracker. Tracker has only two methods: increment() and getNumberOfEvents(). After installing the library you can initialize a new Tracker object like so:

const Tracker = require('basic-event-diagnostics');
const tracker = new Tracker();

Within your project call tracker.increment() everywhere where your event of interest would be triggered

const Tracker = require('basic-event-diagnostics');
const tracker = new Tracker();

const server = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  tracker.increment()
})

server.listen(3000)

To get the number of events that were triggered within a specified time window call tracker.getNumberOfEvents(). Leaning on example above we could return the number of events to client hitting the web server like like so:

const Tracker = require('basic-event-diagnostics');
const tracker = new Tracker();

const server = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  tracker.increment()
  const window = 60;
  res.end(`There have been ${tracker.getNumberOfEvents(window)} events in the last ${window} seconds`);
})

server.listen(3000)

Installing

npm install @zorostang/basic-event-diagnostics
