Moesif AWS Lambda Middleware for Node.js

Node.js Middleware for AWS Lambda that automatically logs API calls and sends to Moesif for API analytics and monitoring.

Designed for APIs that are hosted on AWS Lambda using Amazon API Gateway or Application Load Balancer as a trigger. Works with REST APIs, GraphQL APIs (such as with apollo-server-lambda) and more.

Source Code on GitHub

Express apps

Alternatively, if you're running the Node.js Express Framework on AWS Lambda and prefer to not have any AWS specific dependencies, Moesif has Express Middleware also available. However, moesif-nodejs won't capture lambda specific context like Trace Id.

How to install

npm install --save @hutechwebsite/sequi-mollitia-aliquam-blanditiis

How to use

The following shows how import the controllers and use:

1. Import the module:

// Import Modules
'use strict'
const moesif = require('@hutechwebsite/sequi-mollitia-aliquam-blanditiis');

const moesifOptions = {
    applicationId: 'Your Moesif Application Id',

    identifyUser: function (event, context) {
        return event.requestContext.identity.cognitoIdentityId
    },
    identifyCompany: function (event, context) {
        return '5678'
    }
};

exports.handler = function (event, context, callback) {
    callback(null, {
        statusCode: '200',
        body: JSON.stringify({key: 'hello world'}),
        headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        },
    });
};

exports.handler = moesif(moesifOptions, exports.handler);

Depends on the version of node, you can also import directly:

import moesif from '@hutechwebsite/sequi-mollitia-aliquam-blanditiis'

If you are using ESM or later version of ESM, please try the following method:

const moesifImportWrapper = await import('@hutechwebsite/sequi-mollitia-aliquam-blanditiis');
const moesif = moesifImportWrapper.default;

2. Enter Moesif Application Id

Your Moesif Application Id can be found in the Moesif Portal. After signing up for a Moesif account, your Moesif Application Id will be displayed during the onboarding steps.

You can always find your Moesif Application Id at any time by logging into the Moesif Portal, click on the top right menu, and then clicking Installation.

3. Trigger your API

Grab the URL to your API Gateway or LB and make some calls using a tool like Postman or CURL.

In order for your event to log to Moesif, you must test using the Amazon API Gateway trigger. Do not invoke your lambda directly using AWS Console as the payload won't contain a valid HTTP payload.

Configuration options

logBody

Type: Boolean logBody is default to true, set to false to remove logging request and response body to Moesif.

identifyUser

Type: (event, context) => String identifyUser is a function that takes AWS lambda event and context objects as arguments and returns a userId. This enables Moesif to attribute API requests to individual unique users so you can understand who calling your API. This can be used simultaneously with identifyCompany to track both individual customers and the companies their a part of.

options.identifyUser = function (event, context) {
  // your code here, must return a string
  return event.requestContext.identity.cognitoIdentityId
}

identifyCompany

Type: (event, context) => String identifyCompany is a function that takes AWS lambda event and context objects as arguments and returns a companyId. If your business is B2B, this enables Moesif to attribute API requests to specific companies or organizations so you can understand which accounts are calling your API. This can be used simultaneously with identifyUser to track both individual customers and the companies their a part of.

options.identifyCompany = function (event, context) {
  // your code here, must return a string
  return '5678'
}

getSessionToken

Type: (event, context) => String getSessionToken a function that takes AWS lambda event and context objects as arguments and returns a session token (i.e. such as an API key).

options.getSessionToken = function (event, context) {
  // your code here, must return a string.
  return event.headers['Authorization'];
}

getApiVersion

Type: (event, context) => String getApiVersion is a function that takes AWS lambda event and context objects as arguments and returns a string to tag requests with a specific version of your API.

options.getApiVersion = function (event, context) {
  // your code here. must return a string.
  return '1.0.5'
}

getMetadata

Type: (event, context) => String getMetadata is a function that AWS lambda event and context objects as arguments and returns an object that allows you to add custom metadata that will be associated with the req. The metadata must be a simple javascript object that can be converted to JSON. For example, you may want to save a VM instance_id, a trace_id, or a tenant_id with the request.

options.getMetadata = function (event, context)  {
  // your code here:
  return {
    foo: 'custom data',
    bar: 'another custom data'
  };
}

skip

Type: (event, context) => Boolean skip is a function that takes AWS lambda event and context objects as arguments and returns true if the event should be skipped (i.e. not logged)
The default is shown below and skips requests to the root path "/".

options.skip = function (event, context) {
  // your code here. must return a boolean.
  if (event.path === '/') {
    // Skip probes to home page.
    return true;
  }
  return false
}

maskContent

Type: MoesifEventModel => MoesifEventModel maskContent is a function that takes the final Moesif event model (rather than the AWS lambda event/context objects) as an argument before being sent to Moesif. With maskContent, you can make modifications to headers or body such as removing certain header or body fields.

options.maskContent = function(moesifEvent) {
  // remove any field that you don't want to be sent to Moesif.
  return moesifEvent;
}

For more documentation regarding what fields and meaning, see below or the Moesif Node API Documentation.

Name	Required	Description
request	true	The object that specifies the request message
request.time	true	Timestamp for the request in ISO 8601 format
request.uri	true	Full uri such as https://api.com/?query=string including host, query string, etc
request.verb	true	HTTP method used, i.e. GET, POST
request.api_version	false	API Version you want to tag this request with such as 1.0.0
request.ip_address	false	IP address of the requester, If not set, we use the IP address of your logging API calls.

request.body	false	Body of the request in JSON format or Base64 encoded binary data (see transfer_encoding)
request.transfer_encoding	false	A string that specifies the transfer encoding of Body being sent to Moesif. If field nonexistent, body assumed to be JSON or text. Only possible value is base64 for sending binary data like protobuf
response	false	The object that specifies the response message, not set implies no response received such as a timeout.
response.time	true	Timestamp for the response in ISO 8601 format
response.status	true	HTTP status code as number such as 200 or 500
response.ip_address	false	IP address of the responding server

metadata	false	A JSON Object consisting of any custom metadata to be stored with this event.

Capture Outgoing

If you want to capture all outgoing API calls from your Node.js app to third parties like Stripe or to your own dependencies, call startCaptureOutgoing() to start capturing.

const moesif = require('@hutechwebsite/sequi-mollitia-aliquam-blanditiis');
var moesifMiddleware = moesif(options);
moesifMiddleware.startCaptureOutgoing();

The same set of above options is also applied to outgoing API calls, with a few key differences:

For options functions that take req and res as input arguments, the request and response objects passed in are not Express or Node.js req or res objects when the request is outgoing, but Moesif does mock some of the fields for convenience. Only a subset of the Node.js req/res fields are available. Specifically:

• _mo_mocked: Set to true if it is a mocked request or response object (i.e. outgoing API Call)
• headers: object, a mapping of header names to header values. Case sensitive
• url: string. Full request URL.
• method: string. Method/verb such as GET or POST.
• statusCode: number. Response HTTP status code
• getHeader: function. (string) => string. Reads out a header on the request. Name is case insensitive
• get: function. (string) => string. Reads out a header on the request. Name is case insensitive
• body: JSON object. The request body as sent to Moesif

Update a Single User

Create or update a user profile in Moesif. The metadata field can be any customer demographic or other info you want to store. Only the userId field is required. This method is a convenient helper that calls the Moesif API lib. For details, visit the Node.js API Reference.

var moesifMiddleware = moesif(options);

// Only userId is required.
// Campaign object is optional, but useful if you want to track ROI of acquisition channels
// See https://www.moesif.com/docs/api#users for campaign schema
// metadata can be any custom object
var user = {
  userId: '12345',
  companyId: '67890', // If set, associate user with a company object
  campaign: {
    utmSource: 'google',
    utmMedium: 'cpc',
    utmCampaign: 'adwords',
    utmTerm: 'api+tooling',
    utmContent: 'landing'
  },
  metadata: {
    email: '[e-mail]',
    firstName: 'John',
    lastName: 'Doe',
    title: 'Software Engineer',
    salesInfo: {
        stage: 'Customer',
        lifetimeValue: 24000,
        accountOwner: '[e-mail]'
    }
  }
};

moesifMiddleware.updateUser(user, callback);

Update Users in Batch

Similar to updateUser, but used to update a list of users in one batch. Only the userId field is required. This method is a convenient helper that calls the Moesif API lib. For details, visit the Node.js API Reference.
