A small utility for creating warnings and emitting them.
MIT License
A small utility for generating consistent warning objects across your codebase. It also exposes a utility for emitting those warnings, guaranteeing that they are issued only once (unless configured otherwise).
This module is used by the Fastify framework and it was called fastify-warning
prior to version 1.0.0.
npm i process-warning
The module exports two builder functions for creating warnings.
const {
createWarning,
createDeprecation
} = require('process-warning')
const warning = createWarning({
name: 'ExampleWarning',
code: 'EXP_WRN_001',
message: 'Hello %s',
unlimited: true
})
warning('world')
createWarning({ name, code, message[, unlimited] })
name
(string
, required) - The error name, you can access it later witherror.name
. For consistency, we recommend prefixing module error names{YourModule}Warning
code
(string
, required) - The warning code, you can access it later witherror.code
. For consistency, we recommend prefixing plugin error codes with{ThreeLetterModuleName}_
, e.g. FST_
. NOTE: codes should be all uppercase.message
(string
, required) - The warning message. You can also useoptions
(object
, optional) - Optional options with the followingunlimited
(boolean
, optional) - Should the warning be emitted more thanfalse
.createDeprecation({code, message[, options]})
This is a wrapper for createWarning
. It is equivalent to invoking
createWarning
with the name
parameter set to "DeprecationWarning".
Deprecation warnings have extended support for the Node.js CLI options:
--throw-deprecation
, --no-deprecation
, and --trace-deprecation
.
warning([, a [, b [, c]]])
The returned warning
function can used for emitting warnings.
A warning is guaranteed to be emitted at least once.
[, a [, b [, c]]]
(any
, optional) - Parameters for string interpolation.const { createWarning } = require('process-warning')
const FST_ERROR_CODE = createWarning({ name: 'MyAppWarning', code: 'FST_ERROR_CODE', message: 'message' })
FST_ERROR_CODE()
How to use an interpolated string:
const { createWarning } = require('process-warning')
const FST_ERROR_CODE = createWarning({ name: 'MyAppWarning', code: 'FST_ERROR_CODE', message: 'Hello %s'})
FST_ERROR_CODE('world')
The warning
object has methods and properties for managing the warning's state. Useful for testing.
const { createWarning } = require('process-warning')
const FST_ERROR_CODE = createWarning({ name: 'MyAppWarning', code: 'FST_ERROR_CODE', message: 'Hello %s'})
console.log(FST_ERROR_CODE.emitted) // false
FST_ERROR_CODE('world')
console.log(FST_ERROR_CODE.emitted) // true
const FST_ERROR_CODE_2 = createWarning('MyAppWarning', 'FST_ERROR_CODE_2', 'Hello %s')
FST_ERROR_CODE_2.emitted = true
FST_ERROR_CODE_2('world') // will not be emitted because it is not unlimited
How to use an unlimited warning:
const { createWarning } = require('process-warning')
const FST_ERROR_CODE = createWarning({ name: 'MyAppWarning', code: 'FST_ERROR_CODE', message: 'Hello %s', unlimited: true })
FST_ERROR_CODE('world') // will be emitted
FST_ERROR_CODE('world') // will be emitted again
It is possible to suppress warnings by utilizing one of node's built-in warning suppression mechanisms.
Warnings can be suppressed:
NODE_NO_WARNINGS
environment variable to 1
--no-warnings
flag to the node processNODE_OPTIONS
environment variableFor more information see node's documentation.
