The Risks of Misguided Research in Supply Chain Security
Snyk's use of malicious npm packages for research raises ethical concerns, highlighting risks in public deployment, data exfiltration, and unauthorized testing.
@salesforce/require-analytics
Advanced tools
A simple library for capturing CommonJS require
analytics in Node.js. This is useful for visualizing runtime application dependencies and the times it takes to load them.
As early as possible in your application, require and start the module analytics gathering like so:
const analytics = require('../dist/util/modules').start();
Then, at the end of your application, you can dump the results to stderr
:
analytics.dump();
You can also process the results manually if you prefer, using analytics.report()
.
By default, no analytics are actually gathered unless you either run the app with the envar REQUIRE_ANALYTICS=true
set, or you pass true
to start
(which allows you to determine your method of enabling or disabling require analytics collection).
