SystemContext

File: system-context.interface.ts

Introduction

The SystemContext interface in error-enhanced is designed to capture system-level information where the error occurred. This can include details about the operating environment, Node.js version, hostname, and more. Having this information readily available can aid in debugging and system monitoring.

Properties

Property	Type	Description
environment	string	A read-only property indicating the environment (e.g., development, production).
nodeVersion	string	A read-only property showing the Node.js version.
hostname	string	A read-only property for the hostname where the error occurred.
cpuArch	string	A read-only property for the CPU architecture (e.g., x64, arm).
osType	string	A read-only property for the operating system type (e.g., Windows_NT, Linux).
osRelease	string	A read-only property for the operating system release version.
systemUptime	number	A read-only property for the system uptime in seconds.

Methods

Method	Return Type	Description
setEnvironment(environment: string)	this	Sets the environment. Allows for method chaining.
refreshSystemInfo()	this	Refreshes all the system-related information. Allows for method chaining.

Example Usage

const error = new ErrorEnhanced([
  new SystemContextEnhancer()
]);

// Setting properties
error
  .setEnvironment('development');

// Accessing properties
console.log(error.environment);  // 'development'
console.log(error.nodeVersion);  // 'v14.x.x'

Best Practices

• Use refreshSystemInfo() if you suspect that system information might have changed during the application's runtime.

• Always set the environment as soon as the error is captured for more accurate debugging.

Conclusion

The SystemContext interface is crucial for capturing system-level information, aiding both in debugging and in understanding the environment in which errors occur. This makes it an essential part of a comprehensive error management strategy.
