winston-slack

A winston extension that connects the log to Slack platform

Usage

var winston = require("winston");
require("./lib/winston-slack").Slack;
 
var loggingOptions = {
    exceptionHandlers: [
        new (winston.transports.Slack)({
            slackHookUrl: slackUrl,
            handleExceptions: true,
            username: slackUsername
        })
    ]
}
 
var logger = new (winston.Logger)(loggingOptions);
 
// lets try to throw a error
throw new Error("Some random error");

Go to your slack channel and then add a service integration, select "Incoming WebHooks", get the WebHook URL and replace it.

I suggest use this slack transport to handle exceptions only, put it into normal transports may result too many notifications in your channel :(

Test it

Sorry, I have not created a test case yet :(
