Welcome to issue-reporter 👋

A lib that generates issue reports for unexcepted errors.

🏠 Homepage

Prerequisites

• npm >=5.5.0
• node >=10.0.0

Install

yarn add issue-reporter

Usage

const issueReporter = require('issue-reporter')

async function main() {
  try {
    throw new Error('Some unexcepted error')
  } catch (e) {
    await issueReporter({
      error: e,
      user: 'frinyvonnick',
      repo: 'issue-reporter',
    })
  }
}

Output

issue-reporter's output depends on your environment:

If you terminal supports Hyperlinks it will print a friendly error message with a clickable link that opens a form to create a new issue with a prefilled error report on your project.

If your terminal doesn't support Hyperlinks, issue-reporter will copy the error report in your clipboard and print an url that opens a new issue on your project so you can directly paste the report on the issue template.

In case of a CI it will print an url that opens a new issue on your project followed by a full report error in markdown you can copy paste in the issue body.

Advanced examples

With sections

issue-reporter takes an extra option called sections that let you add information specific to your project. You can add as many sections as you want.

const issueReporter = require('issue-reporter')

async function main() {
  try {
    throw new Error('Some unexcepted error')
  } catch (e) {
    await issueReporter({
      error: e,
      user: 'frinyvonnick',
      repo: 'issue-reporter',
      sections: [
        {
          title: "My project specific information",
          content: {
            version: "1.0.1",
            release: "2.0.0",
            commit: "qwej79qwjeqw8euqo8wj8eq8"
          }
        }
      ]
    })
  }
}

With custom formatter

issue-reporter has a default markdown formatter. If you want a more flexible way to format your error reporter you can provide your own formatting function.

const issueReporter = require('issue-reporter')

async function main() {
  try {
    throw new Error('Some unexcepted error')
  } catch (e) {
    await issueReporter({
      error: e,
      user: 'frinyvonnick',
      repo: 'issue-reporter',
      formatReport: (errorReport) => {
        return `## ${errorReport.error.title}
        
        ${errorReport.error.stack}
        
        ## ${errorReport.environment.title}
        
        ${errorReport.environment.markdown}
        `
      },
    })
  }
}
