@airbrake/node

Airbrake for Node.js

This is the JavaScript notifier for capturing errors in Node.js and reporting them to Airbrake. For web browsers there is a separate package.

Installation

airbrake can be installed using yarn:

yarn add @airbrake/node

or using npm:

npm install @airbrake/node

Example configurations can be found in examples, including:

• Express
• Node.js

Basic Usage

First you need to initialize the notifier with the project id and API key taken from Airbrake.io:

import { Notifier } from '@airbrake/browser';

const airbrake = new Notifier({
  projectId: 1,
  projectKey: 'REPLACE_ME',
  environment: 'production',
});

Then you can send a textual message to Airbrake:

let promise = airbrake.notify(`user id=${user_id} not found`);
promise.then(function(notice) {
  if (notice.id) {
    console.log('notice id', notice.id);
  } else {
    console.log('notify failed', notice.error);
  }
});

Or report catched errors directly:

try {
  // This will throw if the document has no head tag
  document.head.insertBefore(document.createElement('style'));
} catch(err) {
  airbrake.notify(err);
  throw err;
}

Alternatively, you can wrap any code which may throw errors using the client's wrap method:

let startApp = function() {
  // This will throw if the document has no head tag.
  document.head.insertBefore(document.createElement('style'));
}
startApp = airbrake.wrap(startApp);

// Any exceptions thrown in startApp will be reported to Airbrake.
startApp();

or use call shortcut:

let startApp = function() {
  // This will throw if the document has no head tag.
  document.head.insertBefore(document.createElement('style'));
}

airbrake.call(startApp);

Node.js request and proxy

In order to use request HTTP client you can pass request option which accepts request wrapper:

const airbrake = new Notifier({
  ...
  request: request.defaults({'proxy':'http://localproxy.com'})
});
