callsite-record

Create fancy log entries for errors and function call sites.

For Error:

'use strict';

const createCallsiteRecord = require('callsite-record');

function myFunc() {
    throw new Error('Yo!');
}

try {
    myFunc();
}
catch(err) {
    console.log(createCallsiteRecord(err).renderSync());
}

⬇

For function call up in the stack:

'use strict';

const createCallsiteRecord = require('callsite-record');

function func2 () {
    (function func1 () {
        console.log(createCallsiteRecord('func2').renderSync());
    })();
}

func2();

⬇

Additional goodies:

• Use renderers for different output formats, e.g. to produce output in HTML.
• Use stack filter to produce clean and beautiful stacks, e.g. removing Node lib internal calls.

Install

npm install callsite-record

API

createCallsiteRecord(functionName, [typeName]) → CallsiteRecord

Creates CallsiteRecord for the function up in the call stack specified by functionName. You can optionally specify a typeName if the function is a method. If the function is a constructor set functionName to constructor.

Example:

const createCallsiteRecord = require('callsite-record');

(function func1() {
    (function func2() {
        (function func3() {
            const record = createCallsiteRecord('func2');
        })();
    })();
})();

CallsiteRecord

CallsiteRecord.render([renderOptions]) → Promise<String>

Renders call site record to the string.

Example:

record.render().then(str => console.log(str));

CallsiteRecord.renderSync([renderOptions]) → String

Sync version of the CallsiteRecord.render.

renderOptions.frameSize

Specifies the number of lines rendered above and below the call site in the code frame. Default: 5.

Example:

console.log(record.renderSync({ frameSize: 0 }));
// > 12 |    func1();
// ...

console.log(record.renderSync({ frameSize: 1 }));
//   11 |(function func2() {
// > 12 |    func1();
//   13 |})();
// ...

renderOptions.stack

Specifies if stack trace should be rendered in addition to the code frame. Default: true.

renderOptions.stackFilter

Function that will be used to filter stack frames. Function accepts 2 arguments:

• stackFrame - stack entry.
• idx - index of the frame.
• isV8StackFrame - if true then stackFrame is a V8 CallSite object. Otherwise it's a StackFrame object.

Default: null.

Example:

const sep = require('path').sep;

// Remove node core lib calls from the stack trace
record.renderSync({ stackFilter: frame => frame.getFileName().indexOf(sep) > -1 });

renderOptions.renderer

Specifies the output format of the rendering. Default: renderers.default. You can pass your own renderer object (example implementations) or use one of the built-in renderers:

renderers.default

Provides ANSI-colored output as shown above.

Usage:

const defaultRenderer = require('callsite-record').renderers.default;

record.renderSync({ renderer: defaultRenderer });

renderers.noColor

Same as default renderer but without colors.

Usage:

const noColorRenderer = require('callsite-record').renderers.noColor;

record.renderSync({ renderer: noColorRenderer });

renderers.html

Outputs HTML that can be later decorated with the CSS and embeded into the web page. Example output.

Usage:

const htmlRenderer = require('callsite-record').renderers.html;

record.renderSync({ renderer: html });
