Provides a simple interface to send messages to a pre-configured SNS endpoint, using @aws-sdk/client-sns.
All messages are also logged to console.error.
A process uncaughtException handler is also installed which logs uncaught exceptions.
npm i critical-error
var critical = require('critical-error');
// configure somewhere once before use:
critical.configure({TopicArn:"arn:aws:yourarnhere", region:"the-topics-region"});
critical("Oh no! Super bad error D:")
All options are passed to the AWS SDK PublishCommand creation, apart from
region which is used when creating the AWS SNS Client object.
critical() is asynchronous but does not provide a callback (since there is no
sensible way to handle errors). If you need to wait for messages to be sent
(for instance due to running as a serverless function), then use:
// call callback when an in-flight critical() request is completed:
critical.waitForCompletion(callback);
// await the completion of an inflight request:
await critical.waitForCompletion();
- Application name and version information is now read from process.cwd()/package.json (instead of traversing the module tree), to fix ES6 import.
- Added types.
- fixed respository URL in package.json for provenance
- updated AWS SDK version, add provenance-attested publish from github action
- add .waitForCompletion()
- Updated to use aws-sdk v3, depending only on @aws-sdk/client-sns instead of the whole sdk
