Parse and validate logs to adhere to the message and meta standards from Lad and Cabin.
npm:
npm install parse-logsThis package exports a function that accepts two arguments req which is either ctx.request from Koa or req from Express, and userFields, which is an Array of user fields to pick using parse-request's userFields option (by default it is simply [ "ip_address" ]).
You use this function to parse an inbound HTTP request body in order to return and validate a log object.
In order for this to work properly, the body must already be a parsed Object (it cannot be a String).
For example, below is an example request Object that you can pass as req to parseLogs(req):
const parseLogs = require('.');
const req = {
method: 'GET',
query: {},
headers: {
'X-Request-Id': '123456',
'User-Agent': 'Test User Agent'
},
cookies: {},
body: {
err: {
message: 'Oops',
stack: '...'
},
message: 'Oops',
meta: {
level: 'error',
user: {
id: '123456',
email: '[email protected]'
}
}
},
url: ''
};
console.log(parseLogs(req));Outputs to console:
{
err: Error: Oops
at ... (::),
message: 'Oops',
meta: {
level: 'error',
user: { id: '123456', email: '[email protected]' },
id: '636e9a831bdc98012abd4519',
timestamp: '2022-11-11T18:54:59.000Z',
request: { method: 'GET', headers: [Object], id: '123456' },
duration: 0.728459
}
}Note that there is a user object returned, which will be parsed from req.user automatically.
The user object will also have a ip_address property added, but only if one does not already exists and if an IP address was actually detected.
Additionally, err, meta.err, and meta.original_err properties from a request body payload will be parsed into Error objects with stack traces (normalized across Node and browser environments).
For an example implementation please refer to the Forward Email codebase.
