souq-error-handler v1.1.8

ErrorHandler

This project provides a customizable error handling library for Node.js applications. ErrorHandler sends alerts using Opsgenie, logs error messages to a file, and can be easily integrated into other projects.

Usage

To use the ErrorHandler in your project, first install it as a dependency:

Add the following values do your .env file

OPSGENIE_GENERIC_CHANNEL_API_KEY=your_api_key
PRODUCTION_CRITICAL_SLACK_ALERT_CHANNEL_ID=PRODUCTION_CRITICAL_SLACK_ALERT_CHANNEL_ID
LOG_FILE_PATH=/path/to/error.log

npm install --save souq-error-handler

Then, import and use the ErrorHandler in your project:

const ErrorHandler = require('errorHandler');

// Initialize ErrorHandler instance
const errorHandler = new ErrorHandler(
  process.env.OPSGENIE_GENERIC_CHANNEL_API_KEY || '',
  process.env.LOG_FILE_PATH || 'error.log'
);

// Log error to file
errorHandler.logError('Logging an example error message into the error.log');

// Send error to team devices with specified severity
errorHandler.slackAlert('Logging an example critical error message into the slack', 'critical').catch((err) => {
    console.error('A critical slack alert:', err);
});

errorHandler.slackAlert('Logging an example moderate error message into the slack', 'moderate').catch((err) => {
    console.error('A moderate slack alert:', err);
});

// Send error to team devices and send generic alert
errorHandler.genericAlert('Logging an example error directly to team devices').catch((err) => {
    console.error('A generic alert:', err);
});
