@bugsnag/safe-json-stringify

This is a fork of safe-json-stringify with some opinionated changes, specifically for Bugsnag's use-case:

• IE8 support. Our JS notifier supports IE8, so all of its dependencies must use IE8 compatible APIs.
• A hard limit on object depth/breadth. Given a deep/wide enough data structure, the original version would run out of memory or stack allocations. Values are replaced with the string ... in such circumstances.
• Doesn't replace repeated, but non-circular references (implemented by @MikeRalphson in their fork)
• Adds the ability to apply key-based filters to specific subtrees

Installation

npm install @bugsnag/safe-json-stringify

Usage

The API is the same as JSON.stringify, with an additional options object:

stringify(obj, [optional replacer], [optional spaces], [options])

• options.redactedKeys: a list of keys whose value should be replaced with the string [REDACTED]. Keys can be strings for case insensitive matches, or regexes for partial or pattern matches. The array can contain a mixture of both.
• options.redactedPaths: a list of paths where the redactedKeys option will be applied. The format of these strings are key names separated by . and if the property is an array, it is represented with []. For example: events.[].metaData.

Example

var stringify = require('@bugsnag/safe-json-stringify')
stringify({
  api_key: 'd145b8e5afb56516423bc4d605e45442',
  events: [
    {
      errorMessage: 'Failed load tickets',
      errorClass: 'CheckoutError',
      user: {
        name: 'Jim Bug',
        email: '[e-mail]',
        api_key: '245b39ebd3cd3992e85bffc81c045924'
      }
    }
  ]
}, null, 2, {
  redactedKeys: [ 'api_key' ],
  redactedPaths: [ 'events.[].user' ]
})

// yields the following json:
// {
//   "api_key": "d145b8e5afb56516423bc4d605e45442",
//   "events": [
//     {
//       "errorMessage": "Failed load tickets",
//       "errorClass": "CheckoutError",
//       "user": {
//         "name": "Jim Bug",
//         "email": "[e-mail]",
//         "api_key": "[REDACTED]"
//       }
//     }
//   ]
// }
