error-reporting

Reporting errors to email.

Usage

Usage of this library is fairly simple. All you need to do is to initialize the library and nodemailer's transport and you can start reporting errors immediately.

var error = require('error-reporting');
var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
 
// initialize transport
var ses = require('nodemailer-ses-transport');
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport(ses({
    accessKeyId: 'AWSACCESSKEY',
    secretAccessKey: 'AWS/Secret/key'
}));
 
// initialize error reporting library
error.init({
    transporter: transporter,
    from: '[e-mail]',
    to: '[e-mail]',
    subject: 'My Awesome application has encountered an error',
    interval: 60
});
 
// to report an error, just call error.report() anywhere in your application
var err = new Error();
error.report('A message about your error', {objectThatCasedTheError: {foo: 'bar'}}, err.stack);

Configuration options

• transporter - Transporter for Nodemailer, see more about SMTP transporter or other transporters. If transporter is not provided, then all errors are printed out to console with stacktrace.

• cc - Array of addresses, format must be accepted by Nodemailer, default is empty array
