toolbag-plugins

A collection of toolbag plugins. This repository is intended to be temporary. Each of these plugins will eventually be published as a standalone module on npm. The following plugins have already been split out:

• toolbag-plugin-stats-collector - Collects runtime data for things like CPU, memory, the event loop, handles, requests, and more.
• toolbag-plugin-udp-reporter - Implements the reporter interface over UDP.
• toolbag-plugin-policy - Allows for the blacklisting of specific modules, methods, and bindings.
• toolbag-plugin-reporter-error-policy - Allows the reporting interface to be used for error handling.
• toolbag-plugin-nsp-check - Checks an application's dependencies against the Node Security Project's known vulnerabilities database.

To use one or more of the plugins in this module, add toolbag-plugins to package.json. In .toolbagrc.js:

const ToolbagPlugins = require('toolbag-plugins');
const Policy = require('toolbag-plugin-policy');
const StatsCollector = require('toolbag-plugin-stats-collector');
