[IOpipe](https://iopipe.com) is a serverless DevOps platform for organizations building event-driven architectures in [AWS Lambda](https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/). IOpipe captures crucial, high-fidelity metrics for each Lambda function invocation. This data powers a flexibile and robust development and operations experience with features including tracing, profiling, custom metrics, and low-latency alerts. Get started today to quickly and confidently gain superior observability, identify issues, and discover anomalies in your connected applications.

__Note: this library is a lower-level implementation than the package [you might likely be looking for](https://github.com/iopipe/iopipe-js). Enjoy pre-bundled plugins like tracing and event info with [`@iopipe/iopipe`](https://github.com/iopipe/iopipe-js)__

# Installation

Install using your package manager of choice,

`npm install @iopipe/core`

or

`yarn add @iopipe/core`

If you are using the Serverless Framework to deploy your lambdas, check out our [serverless plugin](https://github.com/iopipe/serverless-plugin-iopipe).

# Usage

Configure the library with your project token ([register for access](https://www.iopipe.com)), and it will automatically monitor and collect metrics from your applications running on AWS Lambda.

Example:

```js
const iopipeLib = require('@iopipe/core');

const iopipe = iopipeLib({ token: 'PROJECT_TOKEN' });

exports.handler = iopipe((event, context) => {
context.succeed('This is my serverless function!');
});
```

## Custom metrics

You may add custom metrics to an invocation using `context.iopipe.metric` to add
either string or numerical values. Keys have a maximum length of 256 characters, and string values are limited
to 1024.

Example:

```js
const iopipeLib = require('@iopipe/core');

const iopipe = iopipeLib({ token: 'PROJECT_TOKEN' });

exports.handler = iopipe((event, context) => {
context.iopipe.metric('key', 'some-value');
context.iopipe.metric('another-key', 42);
context.succeed('This is my serverless function!');
});
```

## Labels

You can label invocations using `context.iopipe.label` to label an invocation with a string value, with a limit of 128 characters.

Example:

```js
const iopipeLib = require('@iopipe/core');

const iopipe = iopipeLib({ token: 'PROJECT_TOKEN' });

exports.handler = iopipe((event, context) => {
context.iopipe.label('something-important-happened');
context.succeed('This is my serverless function!');
});
```

# Configuration

## Methods

You can configure your iopipe setup through one or more different methods - that can be mixed, providing a config chain. The current methods are listed below, in order of precendence. The module instantiation object overrides all other config values (if values are provided).

1. Module instantiation object
2. `IOPIPE_*` environment variables
3. [An `.iopiperc` file](#rc-file-configuration)
4. [An `iopipe` package.json entry](#packagejson-configuration)
5. [An `extends` key referencing a config package](#extends-configuration)
6. Default values

## Options

#### `token` (string: required)

If not supplied, the environment variable `$IOPIPE_TOKEN` will be used if present. [Find your project token](https://dashboard.iopipe.com/install).

#### `debug` (bool: optional = false)

Debug mode will log all data sent to IOpipe servers to STDOUT. This is also a good way to evaluate the sort of data that IOpipe is receiving from your application. If not supplied, the environment variable `$IOPIPE_DEBUG` will be used if present.

```js
const iopipe = require('@iopipe/core')({
token: 'PROJECT_TOKEN',
debug: true
});

exports.handler = iopipe((event, context, callback) => {
// Do things here. We'll log info to STDOUT.
});
```

#### `networkTimeout` (int: optional = 5000)

The number of milliseconds IOpipe will wait while sending a report before timing out. If not supplied, the environment variable `$IOPIPE_NETWORK_TIMEOUT` will be used if present.

```js
const iopipe = require('@iopipe/core')({ token: 'PROJECT_TOKEN', networkTimeout: 30000})
```

#### `timeoutWindow` (int: optional = 150)

By default, IOpipe will capture timeouts by exiting your function 150ms early from the AWS configured timeout, to allow time for reporting. You can disable this feature by setting `timeoutWindow` to `0` in your configuration. If not supplied, the environment variable `$IOPIPE_TIMEOUT_WINDOW` will be used if present.

```js
const iopipe = require('@iopipe/core')({ token: 'PROJECT_TOKEN', timeoutWindow: 0})
```

#### `plugins` (array: optional)

_Note that [if you use the `@iopipe/iopipe` package](https://github.com/iopipe/iopipe-js), you get our recommended plugin set-up right away._ Plugins can extend the functionality of IOpipe in ways that best work for you. Follow the guides for the plugins listed below for proper installation and usage on the `@iopipe/core` library:

- [Event Info Plugin](https://github.com/iopipe/iopipe-plugin-event-info)
- [Trace Plugin](https://github.com/iopipe/iopipe-plugin-trace)
- [Logger Plugin](https://github.com/iopipe/iopipe-plugin-logger)
- [Profiler Plugin](https://github.com/iopipe/iopipe-plugin-profiler)

Example:

```js
const tracePlugin = require('@iopipe/trace');

const iopipe = require('@iopipe/core')({
token: 'PROJECT_TOKEN',
plugins: [tracePlugin()]
});

exports.handler = iopipe((event, context, callback) => {
// Run your fn here
});
```

#### `enabled` (boolean: optional = True)

Conditionally enable/disable the agent. The environment variable `$IOPIPE_ENABLED` will also be checked.

#### `url` (string: optional)

Sets an alternative URL to use for the IOpipe collector. The environment variable `$IOPIPE_COLLECTOR_URL` will be used if present.

## RC File Configuration
Not recommended for webpack/bundlers due to dynamic require.

You can configure iopipe via an `.iopiperc` RC file. [An example of that is here](https://github.com/iopipe/iopipe-js-core/blob/master/testProjects/rcFileConfig/.iopiperc). Config options are the same as the module instantiation object, except for plugins. Plugins should be an array containing mixed-type values. A plugin value can be a:
- String that is the name of the plugin
- Or an array with plugin name first, and plugin options second

```json
{
"token": "wow_token",
"plugins": [
"@iopipe/trace",
["@iopipe/profiler", {"enabled": true}]
]
}
```

**IMPORTANT**: You must install the plugins as dependencies for them to load properly in your environment.

## package.json Configuration
Not recommended for webpack/bundlers due to dynamic require.

You can configure iopipe within a `iopipe` package.json entry. [An example of that is here](https://github.com/iopipe/iopipe/blob/master/testProjects/packageJsonConfig/package.json#L10). Config options are the same as the module instantiation object, except for plugins. Plugins should be an array containing mixed-type values. A plugin value can be a:
- String that is the name of the plugin
- Or an array with plugin name first, and plugin options second

```json
{
"name": "my-great-package",
"dependencies": {
"@iopipe/trace": "^0.2.0",
"@iopipe/profiler": "^0.1.0"
},
"iopipe": {
"token": "wow_token",
"plugins": [
"@iopipe/trace",
["@iopipe/profiler", {"enabled": true}]
]
}
}
```

**IMPORTANT**: You must install the plugins as dependencies for them to load properly in your environment.

## Extends Configuration
Not recommended for webpack/bundlers due to dynamic require.

You can configure iopipe within a package.json or rc file by referencing a `extends` config package. [An example of that is here](https://github.com/iopipe/iopipe-js-core/blob/master/testProjects/extendConfig/package.json#L15). Config options are the same as the module instantiation object, except for plugins. Plugins should be an array containing mixed-type values. A plugin value can be a:
- String that is the name of the plugin
- Or an array with plugin name first, and plugin options second

For an example of a config package, check out [@iopipe/config](https://github.com/iopipe/iopipe-js-config).

**IMPORTANT**: You must install the config package and plugins as dependencies for them to load properly in your environment.
