airbrake-mini-client

airbrake-mini-client

This is a lightweight client for airbrake (airbrake.io). The goal of this implementation is to provide a simpler and less invasive logging feature.

Create an instance

var AirbrakeMini = require('airbrake-mini-client')

var airbrakeMini = AirbrakeMini({ projectId: 12345, projectKey: 'ABCDEFGHILMNO' }) // projectId and projectKey are provided by airbrake

Notify an error

try {
  // critical code
} catch (e) {
  airbrakeMini.notify(e)
}

or

Promise.resolve()
  .then(() => {
    // something might go wrong here
  })
  .catch(e => {
    airbrakeMini.notify(e)
  })

Configuration

AirbrakeMini constructor takes the following mandatory parameter:

• projectId
• projectKey

I strongly suggest to provide this optional parameter:

• environment: 'local', 'staging', 'development', 'live'

These other paramenters are mostly for testing:

• timeout: timeout for XMLHttpRequest
• host: it defaults to airbrake host
• reporter: an object providing a "notify" method
