@latta/express

Seamlessly integrate exception monitoring into your Express applications with Latta

Overview

The @latta/express library provides robust error tracking and monitoring for your Express applications. It automatically captures and reports both process-level exceptions and request-specific errors to the Latta reporting system, giving you comprehensive insight into your application's health.

Features

• 🔄 Automatic exception handling
• 🚀 Quick & easy setup
• 🛠️ Customizable options
• 📊 Comprehensive error reporting

Installation

Install the package using npm:

npm install @latta/express

or using yarn:

yarn add @latta/express

or using your favourite package manager.

Quick Start

Adding Latta to your Express application requires just one line of code:

import { latta } from '@latta/express';
import express from 'express';

// Get your API key from the Latta dashboard or use environment variables
const LATTA_API_KEY = process.env.LATTA_API_KEY || "<your-api-key>";

const app = express();

// Add Latta middleware
app.use(latta(LATTA_API_KEY));

// Your existing routes and middleware

Configuration

Client Initialization

The Latta client is implemented as Express middleware and accepts two parameters:

import { latta } from '@latta/express';

const middleware = latta(
  "API_KEY",
  {
    verbose: true // Enable detailed logging
  }
);

app.use(middleware);

Options

| Option | Type | Default | Description | |--------|------|---------|-------------| | verbose | boolean | false | When enabled, Latta will log detailed information to the console |

interface LattaOptions {
  verbose: boolean;  // Enable/disable detailed logging
}

Debugging

To assist with troubleshooting, you can enable verbose logging:

app.use(latta(LATTA_API_KEY, { verbose: true }));

This will output detailed information about Latta's operation to the console.

Examples

Basic Usage

import express from 'express';
import { latta } from '@latta/express';

const app = express();

app.use(latta(process.env.LATTA_API_KEY));

app.get('/api/data', (req, res) => {
  // Your route logic here
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server running with Latta error monitoring');
});

Best Practices

1. Use environment variables for your API key
2. Add Latta middleware early in your middleware chain
3. Enable verbose logging during development
