OpenCensus B3 Format Propagation for Node.js
OpenCensus B3 Format Propagation sends a span context on the wire in an HTTP request, allowing other services to create spans with the right context.
This project is still at an early stage of development. It's subject to change.
Installation

npm install @opencensus/propagation-b3
Usage
To propagate span context arround services with B3 Propagation, pass an instance of B3 Propagation to your tracing instance. For Javascript:
const tracing = require('@opencensus/nodejs');
const propagation = require('@opencensus/propagation-b3');
const b3 = new propagation.B3Format();
tracing.start({propagation: b3});
