What is callsites?

The callsites npm package provides a way to get call sites of the V8 stack trace API in Node.js. It allows developers to inspect the call stack and retrieve information about the function calls that led to a certain point in the code.

What are callsites's main functionalities?

Getting call sites

This feature allows you to retrieve an array of call sites (stack frames) at the point where callsites() is invoked. Each call site is an object with methods that return information about that call site, such as the file name, line number, and column number.

const callsites = require('callsites');

function foo() {
  const sites = callsites();
  console.log(sites[0].getFileName()); // => '/path/to/file.js'
}

foo();

Inspecting call stack

This feature is used to inspect the call stack and get names of the calling functions. It can be useful for debugging or for understanding the flow of function calls leading up to a certain point.

const callsites = require('callsites');

function foo() {
  bar();
}

function bar() {
  const sites = callsites();
  console.log(sites.map(site => site.getFunctionName() || 'anonymous'));
}

foo();
