Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Tracer

Build Status

A tracing library for node and the browser that conforms to DataDog's APM Tracing API, where there "resource" and "service" concepts are first-class citizens. It also includes support for context objects to avoid continuation-local-storage (CLS).

Install

# using yarn
yarn add @convoy/tracer

# using npm
npm install --save @convoy/tracer

Usage

Reporter

In order to start tracing, a project (client or server) should start by creating a new instance of a Reporter, which defines how a trace should get reported to Datadog or other APM service. For front-end clients, this typically involves a service call which passes the trace along to the APM agent. For NodeJS services, consider using @convoy/datadog.

import { Reporter } from '@convoy/tracer';

const apiReporter = new Reporter({
  flushHandler: async (timings, traces) => {
    return await fetch({...});
  },

});

The reporter will call flushHandler if there are any traces to report on the next requestIdleCallback (browser) after recording the trace or every flushIntervalSeconds.

Trace Decorator

Decorators are a convenient way to add tracing to an app or service. This library exposes a decorator factory function to generate a decorator that can be reused through your app or service. It establishes a default service name to use for all traces, specifies the reporter, the sample rate (recommended for frequently called functions) and the ability to configure which argument in the traced function a context object will be read from or created at (nice when the function you are tracing uses a framework that puts the context object at different positions, such as a GQL resolver or Express middleware).

Given JavaScript's asynchronous control flow via an event loop, a context object is an important mechanism to tie APM spans together into one trace without colliding with other async actions that may overlap. This avoids the need to introduce continuation-local-storage which can be difficult to implement and requires some complex monkeypatching.

import { createTraceDecorator } from '@convoy/tracer';

export const trace = createTraceDecorator({
  service: __CONFIG__.service,
  tracerConfig: {
    fullTraceSampleRate: 1 / 20,
    reporter: apiReporter,
  },
  contextArgumentPosition: 1, // if not specified, a new context will be created
});

class Something {
  @trace()
  function doSomething({ foo, bar }, context) {
    // The context object now includes a Tracer object
    // and can generally be ignored
  }
}

The trace decorator is a function itself because its supports the ability to override the attributes of the span it generates.

class Something {
  @trace({
    resource: 'setThing',
    service: 'my-library',
    name: 'Something.doSomething',
    annotator: (span, { foo }) => {
      if (foo) {
        span.setMeta({ isFoo: true });
      },
    tags: {
      clientId,
    },
  })
  function doSomething({ foo, bar }, context) {
    // Traced function
  }
}
