@aller/express-opentracing

This repo is to easier allow tracing on a unanimous way with express, + having access to a tracing-middleware for express with opentracing.

Usage;

Start global

import { startGlobalTracer } from '@aller/express-opentracing'

const { tracer, options } = startGlobalTracer()


// If you use @promster/express, this is a good place to add that middleware;
import { createMiddleware } from '@promster/express'

app.use(createMiddleware({ app, options }))

Add tracing-middleware

import { tracingMiddleware } from '@aller/express-opentracing'
[...]

app.use('/', tracingMiddleware({}: ITracingOptions), (_, _) => {
    [...]
})

[...]

Where with ITracingOptions you can define certain paths you would like to exclude from the traces with .ignoreRoute as a string-regex

Fetch-data with tracing

import { fetchWithTracing } from '@aller/express-opentracing'

const { body, headers } = await fetchWithTracing(
   {...}, req.span
)

Log data

import { log } from '@aller/express-opentracing'

[...]

log({
    span,
    event: 'EVENTNAME',
    description: 'DESCRIPTION',
    error?: Error
    phase: IPhase
})
