<p>Part of the <strong>WRNexusJS</strong> framework — an SSR-first, Bun-native full-stack web framework.</p>
<h3 id="overview">Overview</h3>
<p><code>@wrnexus/tracking</code> is a small, server-side error-capture layer. You create a tracker with one or more <strong>sinks</strong>, then feed it errors — either manually with <code>tracker.capture(err, context)</code> or automatically by mounting <code>tracker.middleware()</code> in your request pipeline. A <code>consoleSink</code> is included; forwarding to Sentry, Datadog, or any other backend is just a matter of writing a tiny sink. Reach for it when you want a single, sink-agnostic place to route application errors. Sinks run best-effort — a throwing sink never breaks the request.</p>
<h3 id="installation">Installation</h3>
<pre data-language="bash"><code>bun add @wrnexus/tracking</code></pre>
<blockquote>Private package — the machine must be authenticated to the <code>wrnexus</code> npm org</blockquote>
<blockquote>(a read token in <code>~/.npmrc</code>). Requires <strong>Bun</strong> (Node is not supported).</blockquote>
<h3 id="api">API</h3>
<h4 id="createtracker-options-tracker"><code>createTracker(options?): Tracker</code></h4>
<p>Creates a tracker. <code>TrackerOptions</code>:</p>
<div class="table-wrap"><table>
<thead><tr><th>Option</th><th>Type</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead>
<tbody><tr><td><code>sinks</code></td><td><code>ErrorSink[]</code></td><td>Initial sinks to fan events out to. Defaults to <code>[]</code>.</td></tr><tr><td><code>now</code></td><td><code>() =&gt; number</code></td><td>Clock used for <code>event.timestamp</code> (epoch ms). Defaults to <code>Date.now</code>.</td></tr><tr><td><code>beforeSend</code></td><td>`(event: ErrorEvent) =&gt; ErrorEvent \</td><td>null`</td><td>Scrub/enrich an event before it reaches any sink. Return <code>null</code> to drop it.</td></tr></tbody></table></div>
<p>The returned <code>Tracker</code>:</p>
<div class="table-wrap"><table>
<thead><tr><th>Member</th><th>Signature</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead>
<tbody><tr><td><code>capture</code></td><td><code>(error: unknown, context?: Record&lt;string, unknown&gt;) =&gt; Promise&lt;void&gt;</code></td><td>Normalizes any thrown value into an <code>Error</code>, builds an <code>ErrorEvent</code>, runs <code>beforeSend</code>, then dispatches to all sinks. Non-<code>Error</code> values are wrapped in an <code>Error</code> named <code>NonError</code>.</td></tr><tr><td><code>addSink</code></td><td><code>(sink: ErrorSink) =&gt; void</code></td><td>Registers an additional sink at runtime.</td></tr><tr><td><code>middleware</code></td><td><code>() =&gt; Middleware</code></td><td>Returns a WRNexusJS <code>Middleware</code> that captures any error thrown downstream, then re-throws it so the framework's error handler still produces the response.</td></tr></tbody></table></div>
<p>The middleware attaches this context to captured events:</p>
<pre data-language="ts"><code>&#123; method: ctx.req.method, path: ctx.url.pathname, requestId: ctx.locals.requestId &#125;</code></pre>
<h4 id="consolesink-errorsink"><code>consoleSink: ErrorSink</code></h4>
<p>A built-in sink that logs a compact one-line message via <code>console.error</code>, e.g. <code>[error] TypeError: cannot read x &#123;&quot;userId&quot;:42&#125;</code>.</p>
<h4 id="types">Types</h4>
<pre data-language="ts"><code>interface ErrorEvent &#123;
  error: Error;
  context: Record&lt;string, unknown&gt;; // request info, user id, tags…
  timestamp: number; // epoch ms
&#125;

interface ErrorSink &#123;
  name?: string;
  capture(event: ErrorEvent): void | Promise&lt;void&gt;;
&#125;</code></pre>
<h3 id="usage">Usage</h3>
<p>Manual capture:</p>
<pre data-language="ts"><code>import &#123; createTracker, consoleSink &#125; from &quot;@wrnexus/tracking&quot;;

const tracker = createTracker(&#123; sinks: [consoleSink] &#125;);

try &#123;
  await doWork();
&#125; catch (err) &#123;
  await tracker.capture(err, &#123; userId: 42, op: &quot;doWork&quot; &#125;);
  throw err;
&#125;</code></pre>
<p>As request middleware:</p>
<pre data-language="ts"><code>import &#123; createTracker, consoleSink &#125; from &quot;@wrnexus/tracking&quot;;

const tracker = createTracker(&#123; sinks: [consoleSink] &#125;);

app.use(tracker.middleware()); // captures + re-throws downstream errors</code></pre>
<p>A custom sink with <code>beforeSend</code> scrubbing:</p>
<pre data-language="ts"><code>import &#123; createTracker, type ErrorSink &#125; from &quot;@wrnexus/tracking&quot;;

const sentrySink: ErrorSink = &#123;
  name: &quot;sentry&quot;,
  async capture(event) &#123;
    await Sentry.captureException(event.error, &#123; extra: event.context &#125;);
  &#125;,
&#125;;

const tracker = createTracker(&#123;
  sinks: [sentrySink],
  beforeSend(event) &#123;
    delete event.context.password; // scrub secrets
    return event; // return null to drop the event entirely
  &#125;,
&#125;);

tracker.addSink(anotherSink); // add more sinks later</code></pre>
<h3 id="requirements-notes">Requirements / Notes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Runs on <strong>Bun</strong> only (Node is not supported).</li>
<li>Peer package: [<code>@wrnexus/core</code>](../core) — the <code>Context</code> and <code>Middleware</code> types</li>
<p>used by <code>tracker.middleware()</code> come from there.</p>
<li>Sink dispatch is fire-and-forget-safe: all sinks run via <code>Promise.all</code>, and a</li>
<p>sink that throws is swallowed so it can never break the app.</p>
