SecureLog

A TypeScript utility for securely logging messages by replacing sensitive information with a placeholder. This library provides a way to safely log information without exposing sensitive data.

Installation

You can install SecureLog using npm, yarn, or bun.

Using npm

npm install @remirage/secure-log

Using yarn

yarn add @remirage/secure-log

Using bun

bun add @remirage/secure-log

Usage

Import and Initialize

First, import the SecureLog class and initialize it with your mappings and optional configuration.

import { SecureLog, Mapping, Config } from '@remirage/secure-log';

// Example mappings
const mappings: Mapping[] = [
    { name: "password", value: "myPassword123" },
    { name: "apiKey", value: "abc123secretKey" }
];

// Optional configuration
const config: Config = {
    placeholder: "[REDACTED]",
    showMappingName: true,
    replaceConsoleLog: true,
    environment: {
        secure: true,
        ignoreKeys: ["SOME_SECRET_KEY"]
    }
};

// Initialize SecureLog
const secureLogInstance = new SecureLog(mappings, config);

Using console.secure

After initializing SecureLog, you can use console.secure to securely log messages. The console.secure method will replace any sensitive data based on the provided mappings and configuration.

// String data
console.secure("User login with password: myPassword123");

// Object data
console.secure({ message: "API call with apiKey: abc123secretKey" });

// Array data
console.secure(["Array element with password: myPassword123", "Another secret: abc123secretKey"]);

Overriding console.log

If replaceConsoleLog is set to true in the configuration, both console.log and console.secure will securely log messages.

// String data
console.log("User login with password: myPassword123");

// Object data
console.log({ message: "API call with apiKey: abc123secretKey" });

// Array data
console.log(["Array element with password: myPassword123", "Another secret: abc123secretKey"]);

Restore Original console.log

If needed, you can restore the original console.log functionality.

// Restore the original console.log
console.restoreLog();

Configuration Options

The SecureLog class accepts an optional configuration object with the following properties:

• placeholder: A string to replace the sensitive data (default: "*****").
• shouldReturn: A boolean indicating whether to return the modified data (default: false).
• showMappingName: A boolean indicating whether to include the mapping name in the replacement (default: false).
• replaceConsoleLog: A boolean indicating whether to override console.log to behave like console.secure (default: false).
• environment: An object with the following properties:
  • secure: A boolean indicating whether to secure all environment variables (default: false).
  • ignoreKeys: An array of keys that will be ignored from the environment variables.

Example

Here's a complete example:

import { SecureLog, Mapping, Config } from '@remirage/secure-log';

// Example mappings
const mappings: Mapping[] = [
    { name: "password", value: "myPassword123" },
    { name: "apiKey", value: "abc123secretKey" }
];

// Optional configuration
const config: Config = {
    placeholder: "[REDACTED]",
    showMappingName: true,
    replaceConsoleLog: true,
    environment: {
        secure: true,
        ignoreKeys: ["SOME_SECRET_KEY"]
    }
};

// Initialize SecureLog
const secureLogInstance = new SecureLog(mappings, config);

// Using console.secure
console.secure("User login with password: myPassword123");
console.secure({ message: "API call with apiKey: abc123secretKey" });
console.secure(["Array element with password: myPassword123", "Another secret: abc123secretKey"]);

// Using console.log if replaceConsoleLog is true
console.log("User login with password: myPassword123");
console.log({ message: "API call with apiKey: abc123secretKey" });
console.log(["Array element with password: myPassword123", "Another secret: abc123secretKey"]);

// Restore the original console.log if needed
console.restoreLog();
