Announcing Precomputed Reachability Analysis in Socket
Socket’s precomputed reachability slashes false positives by flagging up to 80% of vulnerabilities as irrelevant, with no setup and instant results.
node-execution-context
Advanced tools
Provides execution context wrapper for node JS, can be used to create execution wrapper for handling requests and more
A straightforward library that provides a persistent process-level context wrapper using node "async_hooks" feature.
npm i node-execution-context
Let't start with creating the context initialisation point of our app, well take an simples express app for this example
// main.js
const express = require('express');
const { AsyncResource } = require('async_hooks');
const Context = require('node-execution-context');
const UserController = require('./controllers/user');
const app = express();
const port = 3000;
const ContextMiddleware = (req, res, next) => {
Context.run(next, { val: true });
};
app.use('/', ContextMiddleware);
app.post('/user', UserController.create);
app.listen(port);
This will expose any point of your code form this point that handles that request.
// ./controller/user/index.js
const Context = require('node-execution-context');
const mongo = require('../service/mongo');
const logger = require('../service/logger');
export class UserController {
async create (req) {
const { user } = req.body;
// This will return the reference number set by out ContextMiddleware
const { reference } = Context.get();
logger.info('Created user for reference: ', reference);
return await mongo.create('user', user);
}
}
Creates for the current async resource an execution context entry identified with his asyncId. Any future processes that will be added to the async execution chain will be exposed to this context.
Updates the current execution context with a given update obect.
Returns the current execution context identified with the current asyncId.
Runs a given function under a dedicated AsyncResource, exposing given initial context to the process and it's child processes.
const Context = require('node-execution-context');
Context.create({
value: true
});
Promise.resolve().then(() => {
console.log(Context.get()); // outputs: {"value": true}
Context.update({
value: false
});
return new Promise((resolve) => {
setTimeout(() => {
console.log(Context.get()); // outputs: {"value": false}
Context.update({
butter: 'fly'
});
process.nextTick(() => {
console.log(Context.get()); // outputs: {"value": false, "butter": 'fly'}
resolve();
});
}, 1000);
console.log(Context.get()); // outputs: {"value": true}
});
});
The following errors can be thrown while accessing to the context API :
Code | when |
---|---|
CONTEXT_ALREADY_DECLARED | When trying to create execution context, but current async resource already exists. |
CONTEXT_DOES_NOT_EXISTS | When try to get / update the context, but it yet been created. |
