dc-polyfill
: Diagnostics Channel PolyfillThis package provides a polyfill (or ponyfill) for the diagnostics_channel
core Node.js module (including TracingChannel
) for use with older versions of Node.js. It aims to remain simple, with zero dependencies, and only takes up a few kilobytes of space.
If your module or application uses
diagnostics_channel
and needs to run on multiple versions of Node.js then it is recommended that you userequire('dc-polyfill')
instead ofrequire('diagnostics_channel')
.
dc-polyfill backports features and bugfixes that are added to Node.js core. If a feature hasn't been backported then please open a Pull Request or create an issue.
Since this package recreates a Node.js API, read the Node.js diagnostics_channel
documentation to understand what it does.
Version | |
---|---|
Oldest Supported Node.js Version | 12.17.0 |
Target Node.js DC API Version | 20.6.0 |
Note that
dc-polyfill
currently has theTracingChannel#hasSubscribers
getter backported from Node.js v22 however it doesn't yet support the tracing channel early exit feature. Once that's been added we'll delete this clause and update the above table.
Whenever the currently running version of Node.js ships with diagnostics_channel
(i.e. v16+, v15.14+, v14.17+), dc-polyfill will make sure to use the global registry of channels provided by the core module. For older versions of Node.js dc-polyfill instead uses its own global collection of channels. This global collection remains in the same location and is shared across all instances of dc-polyfill. This avoids the issue wherein multiple versions of an npm library installed in a module dependency hierarchy would otherwise provide different singleton instances.
Ideally, this package will forever remain backwards compatible, there will never be a v2.x release, and there will never be an additional global channel collection.
Install the module in your project:
npm install dc-polyfill
Replace any existing require('diagnostics_channel')
calls:
const diagnostics_channel = require('dc-polyfill');
When a Pull Request is created the test suite runs against dozens of versions of Node.js. Notably, versions right before a change and versions right after a change, the first version of a release line, and the last version of a release line. To test locally it's recommended to use a node version management tool, such as nvm
, to test changes with.
